The score by innings: Greenville.or? o OOO 000-3 Sumter.000 001 000-1; SOFTER SHUT OUT ORAXGEBURG IX FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASOX. Flushed with six successive vic? tories, the Edistoes trotted out on a foreign demand Monday for the first contest away from home expec? tant and confident of victory. A large contingent of rooters for the visitors had seats on the grand stand, and applauded the boys heartily as they went to the field for practice. At 5 o'clock Umpire McGrath an? nounced the batteries for the game, and while the Second Regiment Band played "Dixie" and the 1,230 rooters cheered lustily, Mayor W. B. Boyle threw the first ball over the plate, and the game was on. The decided and very conspicuous features of the game were the battery work for Sumter and the heavy bat? ting and fine base running of Allison. Tribble, the big southpaw, had every? thing. The reputed heavy hitters of the Orangeburg team could do noth? ing with his delivery, as is evidenced by the fact that there were 19 assists to first base. Stephens, though in poor condition, caught a beautiful ga me. and is easily the best back stop in. *.he league. If Allison keeps ap his .Ine stick work and heady running of ?;ases, he will break up many a good r;;::ae before the season is over. All the other Game Cocks played bril? liant ball, every man on the team was a star, and they all deserve equal crt dit for the victory. Cook and Beusse did the best work for the visitors.
