The lecture which lasted an hour and * a half was enjoyed by all who beard it. 1 UNION VS. ATLANTA, The Fourth of July lias toine and gone, so has the Atlanta team, and Willie went with'em. Union did them < up to a turn. A nice sliower had fallen on the night of the .'Ird and everything 1 was in apple pie order for the great came that every body's mouth was watering to see. Atlanta had beat the game played Monday evening, the score standing 8 to 7. At the beginning of the ninth itiuina the score stood 7 to 7, Union was at the hut. She was shut out in one, two, three order, and Atlanta stepped in with the determination to do Oomol Uiikv P?nnll?? -? ' - QUIUDIIHUK' xuc; 4|llilll.t gUlUIIUlli uome, I then they walked in saving they were sat- | istied. A large crowd witnessed the eaily morning game, and at tho after- i noon game the grand stand, bleachers, and every available space for standing was crowded to its utmost capacity. No such crowd has ever before been seen in Union witnessing a ball game. The crowd was estimated at SOO, onefourth of whom were ladies, who were about as enthusiastic as the men. and did not mil to applaud an excellant play made by either side. Union went in to win from the jump the second day, and what she did for Atlanta was almost enough if not a ''plenty." Atthewindc up or1 toe uiorninK frame the score stood 21 to ! ? in favor of Union, and the crowd cheered the home team as they had not been cheeicd since?well since before "Piedmont" arrived. The Atlanta laws are chock full of nerve, and they left the ground with determined faces, Aiul nvJnu tVmuivl.f 1 I' WMM HIVJ ?utliu Ull U.n ll[? iu tlie evening. They put in their tim-* practicing in the yard at the Hix House, and when t lie game was.called at 4 :-'JU sharp, tliey sprang nimbly to thei. places amid great cheering from the over crowded grand stand. The boys are all stout, manly fellows and in their green uniforms looked like a hard tepm to whip. We succeeded in getting in one run when our lights went out, one, two three. This began to look squally right at the start, but our "New-Man" stepped in the box, l'elt his men with a few balls, gave his arm an extra swing and like a camion ball the white message Hew over the plate. The message was one "ingle word, that word was "strike." Well, they just dropped their candy until it rounded up into a goose egg, second inning another little round ring, third inning one run, fourth same goose laid, tilth iuuiug some rotten playing allowed three runs to be made in a lump. Our boys could not stand any of that sort, so the next four innings was just like they hadtf t played. Total, four runs. It was very pretty playing, taken as a whole, aud we were glad to see that the visiting team received liberal applause for every brilliant play they made. They are a clever set of hoys, if they did strike a snag in the Union nine, aud we hoi>e to have the pleasure of crossing bats with them again. Barring "Willie's" fainting spells, about the only casualties of the games were the right fielder in the morning game ran too far backward and went a back summersault into the ditch, tried locale:i tne bail wiib ma feet, mulled it and let two men in, then they brought him iii for repairs. lie was soon O K and ready to go out on his "regular run." The next and a little more serious accident was during the sixth inning. Atlanta's catcher received a very hard ballon the b.iik of his head, which came near knocking him senseless. Willi medical attention, and regular railroad grit, however, ho was ready for business when his side went out. Several tine plajs and some rotten ones were made, but we lefer you to the otliciai record for them. It was a glorious Fourth for Union.
