Mayesville, June 28.?Mayesvillc defeated Sardinia this afternoon in an interesting although ? one-sided game of ball. The locals began the game somewhat handicapped on ac? count of the absence of several retru lar players, but some "old timers" were substituted and the team put up an excellent exhibition of base? ball. The battery work of Mayes, If., and Corbett for the home team was the feature of the game, Maye3 al? lowing only one hit and retiring a large number of the Sardinia batters. The work of Maye9. C, on first and Rhodes at short, two of the "old tim? ers," was surprising and undoubtedly counted heavily in the local team's victory. The game was called at the end of the seventh inning &j it was begun late and the visitors desired to get on their homeward trip before darkness. Mr. Millsaps of Sardinia acted as umpire and proved a very fair and agreeable official, not a pro? test being registered against his de? cisions by either team. The following was the field line-up of the locals, the visitors' line-up be? ing unobtainable at this writing: Mayes, M., p.
