Monday was a tine day for a!! out
dour exercise, and the 1/ase
ball park was very well
pat ronl/ed. the largest
and nme.t fashionable au
dience of the season being
present and witnessing a
fast and splendid game be

tcurs art'1 Forrest City's old reliables,
which resulted in fa'or of the local
twirlers
The reputat ion of the Senatohia.
Mississippi, team preceded them here.
It was stated in letters, on the
fttreeia, ana in me
} public prints that
tb-- visitors are the
l*st amateur base
ball aKgreffation in
the South. < >f course
this is saying a great deal, and our
lxiys were naturally dismayed a lit
tle awed, as it were—and a little
nervous almut tackling them, but the
bigger the foe the greater the victory,
and they made up their minds to win
if it were possible.
The visitors are a healthy, good
looking. genial lot of good fellows,
and play fairly good lall, but they
were no match for Forrest City's
cracK leam in mis uout. (*ur
boys looked good to us as
they took a tr"t to their re
respective positions, in their
handsome new suits, all clean
and nice, and we were not
disappointed in them, except ,
lor a couple of errors or three
Tommie O’Hrlen made a muff of a
1ohk tiy to rltfht center field, tlie first
one we ever saw him drop, hut it was
a lonK run. and over mu^h ground,
and was not very costly, as the latter
made only the one hase. and was later
retired.
Kintf Hrady made another had
break. It was when the home is>ys
were at bat. The leases
were full and Brady
was on first. The bat
ter who followed him,
i knocked a fly to rl^ht
field, and was out. In
stead of holding his
bsu>c, as the others did, and lie should
have done, lie ran to second and over
the other man who was holding that
bag, and was out, retiring ids side,
which probably cost one or more runs,
as Gilliam was next to bat, and had
been doing some very good work with
the stick.
Fat Folbre, the bully tx»y with the
good left mitt, pitched a line game, j
and succeeded in getting the long end
ol the chalk marks. A
cool head and a steady
nerve, combined with
excellent control in
tight places won the
game for t h e young
man with a future, and
rinht well does he de-S-rve much of
the credit for tlie victory. At several
stages of the name it looked as though
tiie visitors would pull i:i the neces
sary runs-to tie the score, while a
tfood hit Wa two or tliree banner,
would have ni'en them the victory,
but on each occasion. and especial!)
in the einhtl , with all the bases full.
1 ‘at complete!) outnenoralled the op
posing' batsmen, and came out of the
tire unscathed.
«’PlMist'u to rai on me Mali
"as Merchant, and ri^ht wi ll
did lie try to perform like the
other memoers of the stall,
and win the j;;iiiie for his man
ager, hut lie was out pitched.
Merchant pitched a c od came
at tlat, .uni had it not twu for i'i>»th
error* on the part ot nt* sup
port, particularly in the early
statfe of the game, the result
misfit hate t>een very different.

Score by Innings
Innings 12 34567*8
Senatobia— 0 0 1 o n 3 n n 1—5
Forrest City—3 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 x -7
The second game was also an exhi
bition of good bail playing, and the
crowd was even larger than on the
previous day. Frank Gilliland, of
Collierville, Tenn., who is visiting
relatives in the city, was on the firing
line for the locals up to the ninth
inning, and pitched a g'v>d game.
1‘at Folbre finished the game, and
put the visitors down and out in 1. 2.
3 order. The score was s to 4 in favor
of Forrest City. Willie Havens’ work
with the willow was a feature, as he
got 4 hits.
The third game was an exhibition
of errors all round. The locals, if
there was any difference, perhaps had
fewer than the visitors, but both had
too many to count. The game was
8 to 3 at the close of the Gtli inning
in favor of Forrest City, after which
they went to pieces, and allowed the
“
good fortune to secure a couple of |
gan.es with a very strong base bail
team from Jackson, Tennessee. They
were enroute home from Hot Springs,
where they bad played three very
creditable games, and Mr Knight in
duced them to stop here yesterday.
The public is a very good judge of a
go id attraction, and it was s<x>n w ise
in tliis ea»e. tlie consequence being
that tbe largest audience that ever
witnessed a base bail game in Forrest
City, gathered at tlie park yesterday.
They were not disappointed. It was
the fastest, snappiest game of the sea
son by long odds and resulted in a
score of 1 too in favor of the visitors.
Had it not ieen for a couple of errors,
one by Havens, and one by Jolly, the
game would have gone into the extras.
We haven't time nor space to print a
description, but the game was fast,
snappy, full of interest every moment
of Its duratioh, and few if any league
games are letter, with tlit* exceptions
noted.
1 ’at Folbre was certainly in tine
form, and struck 'em out so rapidly
that we couldn't keep the count. lie
made three out of tlie first four men
up lay the willow down, and re
peated a little later. Brady never let
a ball pass him, and Pat's support was
fine. Warren made a throw from rf to
home plate, and retired the sidi- after
chasing a grounder.that was a feature.
The crowd is moving toward t lie
grounds as we go to press, and there
will l»e great sport out there this
afternoon.

H A. Knight. Mgr. Forrest City Base
ball Team, Forrest City, Ark.
Dear Sir: As manager of the “Clar
endon Crescents,” and on behalf of the
team and the boys individually 1 wish
to express to you the deep sense of ap
preciation that we feel for the big
hearted hospitality and lavish expendi
ture of good nature that you showed us
while we were your guests on the 28th,
29th and 30th instants. The weather
was bad and the clouds were so full of
gloom that we would have had the
blues anywhere else on earth other
than in the midst of the happy crowd
that we met in vour city. A man would
have to be a wooden Indian painted
blue to remain in that frame of mind
long in your midst. While our crowds
were not so large, yet they made up in
enthusiasm and good nature what they
lacked in numbers. We take this oc
casion to say that we shall spend the
balance of our baseball existence try
ing to get a chance to return in some
measure the kindness and courtesy that
you bestowed on us while your guests.
Kindly have your local paper to publish
this so that everyone in Forrest City
may understand just how we f/el, and
send us a copy. With good wishes,
I am. Very sincerely,
G. S. Bounds,
Manager.
