A Pretty Game of Ball on West End Diamond Broken up on Saturday By the Rain. Blease's Base Ball "3 B's" alias "Eurekas" went up against the swift aggregation of West End Invincibles on the West End baseball diamond on Saturday afternoon, and when a heavy rain broke up the game a very pretty exhibition of the national sport was being dished up to a crowd which, while not large, had entered into the spirit of the exciting game, and was filling the air with unearthly howls and yells as the favorites on one side or the other would 1ull off a feature play. When the rain broke up the game at the end of the fourth inning the score stood four to four in favor of both sides. Eidson and Ruff, the twir lers, were both in good form, and many confident knights of the willow gave beautiful muscular exhibitions in vain, except that the air was stirred as if by an electric fan. The four scores of the "3 B's" were made in the third inning, and the four scores of the Invincibles came in the fourth inning. In the other innings each side was forced to content itself with an empty circle, sometimes called, in common prlance, a goose egg. Both pitchers had good support, and it was a great disappointment to the fans when the game had to be called. The game was for the benefit of Sam Jones, the injured West End player. The crowd would have been much larger but for the threatening weather. Another game will be played be tween the two teams on the Newberry college diamond on Wednesday after noon. The game will be called promptly at 5 o'clock. The line-up will be the same as on Saturday. Another Account of the Game. The benefit game between Blease's Eurekas and West End, which was begun at the West End park on Sat urday afternoon, was rudely inter rupted by Jupiter Pluvius in the third inning, much to the regret of the loy al fans who had gathered, even in the face of lowering clouds, to witness I the contest. The game-or what there was of it-was all wool and a yard wide, and gilt-edged, the work of the three innings clearly demon strating that there was to be no walk over for either team. The West Enders, with a record of 12 victories and one defeat 'for the season, were anxious to prove to the superstitious ones that there is no such thing as the 13 hoodoo, and that it is just as easy to land the 13th victory as it was the other 12. The Eurekas, under the manage ment of Mr. Cannon G. Blease, were equally anxious to prove to to the West End aggregation-"Price's In vincibles"-that there are other ball players in this burg, and the afore said manager of Blease's Eurekas has even intimated that it would give him pleasure to repeat the dose that the Augusta Y. M. C. A.-or to be more exact, a certain pitcher by the name of Leopard-administered to the West Enders on the occasion of their 13th game. So, it will be seen that there is no~ little rivalry between the teams, and in order to settle the question of su periority once for all, thereby putting a stop to an Issuance of hot air ad nauseam, as to the relative merits of the two teams, it has been decided, after a conference between the man agers, to line the teams up against, each other at college park on Wed nesday afternoon. The game will be in the nature of a benefit for Sam Jones, the popular second baseman of the West End team, who was se riously injured in a game with Clin ton several weeks ago, and it is hoped that there will be a large crowd pres ent. Umpire Hardeman will call the game promptly at 5 o'clock. The teams will line-up as follows: Blease's Eurekas: Ruff, J., p; Ruff, W., c; Neal, lb; Wright, 2b; Garling ton, 3b; Wicker, ss; Floyd, lf; Bur ton, cf; Johnson, rf. West End: Eidson, p; McCall, c; Smith, 1b; Adamg, 2b; R. Boozer, 3b; Wessinger, ss; Havird, lf; Boozer, D., f; Bouknight, rf. H. W.D. Mimnaugh's Big Sale.
