In base ball as well as some other thinirs it is difficult to lorecast results, and it is not well to count ?oose-e.e?:s before they are hatched. After the severe drubbing ;:iven Lake City by Kin^stree on the former's own grounds a short time a^o the Kinjrstree boys exe pec ted to "win in a walk" when the Lake City team came over Tuesday to plav the second name of the series. The friends of the home team were equally I confident and odds of three > and even lour lo one were offered against the visitors. One enthusi astic friend, of the iiome team lost two dozen cigars on an even bet that Kincstree would double the scores made bv Lake City. At 4 o'clock sharp the game was called by Cmpire St. Ainand and the Kingstree team took the field. The game started off beautifully, neither side scoring) until Jie third inning, when Lake I City took a halting streak and I made four scores. In the fourth inning Kings!ree made her first, two runs and the visiters piled up four more. The fifth inning yield-1 ed nothing to either side. In the! sixth Kingstr&e got in one more' score, while Lake City added two; to her total. The seventh inning resulted iu a shut out for both * - ? * 1 ? l it . 1 sides, in uie eignin ine nnme | team rallied and three men cross-1 ed the home plate, while the visitors made nothing. Meantime a i heavy cloud had gathered in the! west and drops of rain began to j fall. Notwithstanding this Kins:-! stree went to the bat and played outlhe last inning, making n?{ score.
