An interesting game of ball
was played here last Tuesday
between our local line-up and
Bainbridge. Excitement ran
high all the while, as Bainbridge
was in the lead up to about the
6th inning when Criro evened
up and in addition thereto got
the lead by one run, and suc
ceeded in holding the lead with
two to the good up until the
time Bainbridge went up for her
half of the ninth, at this time
Bainbridge run there’s up to 9,
giving them one to the good,
and on Cairo’s last half shut
them out from scoring leaving
the score 8 to 9 in their favor.
The boys left immediately on
the afternoon train for home—
feeling quite gay over their vie
torv. The game was not only
interesting but a pretty one; in
many instances the rangle in
base ball causes many to lo^e
interest, but Bainbridge has a
good, jolly and jovial set of
boys, and Cairo’s team has al
ways been given credit for play
ing clean ball, hence there was
not the slightest hitch among
the players, and every
speaks in high praise of
fairness, and quick judgment
