Quite a crowd of the Cairo ball enthusiasts witnessed a game of ball between the above named teams on last Friday afternoon at W high am. The game was called about 4 o’clock, with Pearce of Cairo in the box for C.imax and Cain for Whigham. While the game afforded some excitement on account of Pearce’s Work in the box, otherwise the game as a whole w r as too near one way to be interesting, Up until the time Baggett of Cairo went into the box tor Whigham they had failed to score, although his first time at the bat he suc ceeded in placing one to their credit. Some very pretty work was done on both sides, but the fea tures of the game was the heavy batting and twirling by Pearce. Among the number who went from here were, J. W. Southall, R. W. Pearce, I>.
