Some Fine Ball Playing. One.of the finest games of ball that had been witnessed in Union up to tli.it time was played at the Union diammd Monday between Union and Piedmo itGreenville. The game was interesting from start to finish and barring a few wild throws there were no grave errors on either side. Union has made soiu ; changes in her team, and she now has a real good ball team. They went up against a team Monday however, when they met the Piedmont-Greenville team that was worthy of their steel. And a hard fought battle, was the result. At the ending of the third Inning the game was a tie, at the end of the ninth auother tie, and the tenth iuuing had to be played to decide. Final result was 0 to 5 in favor of Piedmont-Greenville. The following was the line-up of the two teams: Piedmont. Union. Cooper, SS O'Brien, McGiunis, C F Cook, Crockett 2II Merriinan, Oateen, 11J Wilhelm, C Maisb, J, F lliley, White, 3 B Seip, Barker, C Sheehan, Chandler, It F Eberhardt, Malcomb, P Wilhelm, I B. F. Townsend, Umpire. Piedmont went to the bat promptly at 4:30. Cooper grasped the slick and soon found the bail which he sent on a journey skyward. It I t somewhere over in center's territory but out of reach. M Giunis followed but gave up the ghost before he readied the 1st but Coojier got to'Jud Crockett, the heavy hitter, c um next and handed one out to center, lei cuiK vuujnji awiie uiui iwiUiiillj; l.-iL iiiiiisell in safety. Osteeu sent a slow grouu 1 to 1st, but be could not out run it.,, aud died in the attempt. It hid cooled o:l in the 1st baseman's hand before lie arrived, but. it alio .ml Crockett to nuke 2nd all the same. Marsh hit the sphere a terrible rap and sent a regular sky serai er out to o-nter, who watdicd its i serial wanderings with a critical eye, and was mean enough to auest it wheu it tiually sought the eaitli and put the sidt to sleep 1 run. Union Merrimsui was first man no and sent a hot message along the ground wte to short who picked it up. And sent it over to 1st to decipher, he did so and it read out. Riley then rolled oa'i down to 1st base, who picked it. up am tossed it in to the pitcher after h: h al wiped his foot on the base and auothei was out. Cook came along and fanutil out. Piedmont 1, Union 0. Piedmont 2nd inning: White Ujw on! beautifully to center. It was so iiSokJj done that Barker, the next man, got srnot on it and did likewise Chandler, didn't rel ish that business, so lie trted other luetics, lie sent a grass cutter to tight ti rid. II gave up the ghost before he reaclie 1 Is,. Union. C. Wilhelui sent a scorch*! along the grass to 2nd who 111 ule an excellent pick-up, and although Wilhelm made a noble effort to reach 1st he misled connection and had to walk back home. Ilis brother tried one of the same kind to short, and had better luck. Khoit got it all right enough hut in his eagerness to get it to 1st he threw it too higli and 1st biseman had to make high join for it. While he was up in the an searching for it Wilhelm crossed the b ig It was a close shave. Shsehui hit tliball a peculiar wluck it struck thegroun 1 half way to the pitcher and ran bade to ward the home plate, whilj Sdeolur sailed down to 1st. Seip gjt to 1st safe He stole 2nd and Slieeluu was forced out at 2nd O'liiien was put out at 1st and the side retired neither side scoring. Piedmont 3rd inning.?M ilcomb senl one to the pitcher who didn't have any par ticular use for it and he tossed it over to Is just for meanness and put the man out Cooper got to 1st on an error of shori stop, he went to 2nd on a passed ball Mctiiunis expired in trying to make Is but Cooper made 3rd. Crockett slugge< for three bases, and Cooper came in Osteen sent a ground to 1st and died < natural death, aud the side went out will one mote run to their credit. Union went in with the determineioi to do something, and the hard work be gan, Eberhardt hit to left and made Is and then stole second. Meniman sen one to short and got to 1st on short' error. And Eberhardt went to 3rd Riley sent a high tly way out to let" which was neatly taken in. Eberlnrd held his base 'till the ball was caugli then he sprinted home and got ther ahead of the ball whileMerrimau wall'//* up to 3rd. Cook saw that was a prett; good scheme and he sent another sk scraper out in tiiat direction. It \va caught, of course, but no sooner did th ball land than Merriman lit out for th plate and crowed it safely. C. Willi "In followed and was put out at first am Union retired with two to her credit tie ing the score.

Our boys soeme 1 to get a little rattled the 10th inning or \vj would have won out. Had Merriman on ; 2nd let Cook .it center have Crocket's ball we would have won. But all did well, and we notice quite an improve; ment in our team. It is interesting to see tlietn play now, and we don't feel I so bad now over being beat ono point in a game like this one.

Union?I. Wilhelm and Sheehen. Umpire?B. F. TownsenU. Time 2:10. TUESDAY. The game Tuesday wa3 fully up to the Monday's game, and surpassed it in lieldiug. There were some beautiful catches. The game began to look gloomy for Union, notwithstanding her hard playing, she had a string of goose eggs up to the Kth inning, when lliley brought two men in by a good hit to right and stole 2nd ' and third in the general excitement of [ trjing to cut the two runners otf at the home plate. He let his desire to score get the batter of his judgment when he tried to slip in home when there were . two out, aud he had little chance of making it. He made a great effort, however, and came dangerously near \ scoring. The loss of the game is due principally to Scip's twice fumbling the ball at 3rd base. One of them should have been the shortstop's ball, lliley won glory enough for one gameand made himself the favorite of the grand stand by one of the prettiest single-handed running catches that has been seen on the diauuud so far. lis must have run sixty yards, and by a long reacii with one hand caught a very long lj lly to left and retired the side. This .. feat was greeted with a storm of annlausc from the crowd which ho gracefully ackuowledgod by raising his cap as lie w came in. Aua he was the favorite fioiu ? that time cn and he held up his reputation iu an excellent manner, lie afterterwards took in another high fly and ? quickly passed it to 2nd 111 time to make j_ a pretty double and retired tho side. Out u, short stop made a couple of etrors for which he was sent to the lield and ,1 another man put in his place. L. Piedmont did all round good playing, ' and made some good catches. Tliey ' have good fielders and an excellent shot l TJ stop to whom much credit is due for our row of goose eggs. They scored tv\c n runs in the 3rd inning. Crocket did .. some line work, lie is a dangerous man '* at the. b it and an excellent base 1 miner. V. He gave Piedmont the run that won the game when he came in afier a high il> (i was caught in the left Held. Soveia r. double plays were made during the game.
