Fifteen to Fourteen in Favor of
the Era Farmers.
A monster crowd witnessed the
game yesterday between the Era
boys aud the Gainesville clnb.
Some excellent playing character-
ized the game and at the close of
the third inning the score stood 3
to 1 favor of Era. Neck and neck
stood the game at the close of the
eighth inning, the score being
7 to 7.
The farmers then proceeded to
play more ball and in the first half
of the ninth inning made eight
tallies, running their score up to
fifteen before three outs were
made.
At this juncture Jack Jamison
was worked in by the Gainesville
boys aud things began to look
brighter for the home team as the
tallies began to pile up.
A squabble arose just when
they had caught up with the
farmers.
The unfairness of some of the
batters so disgusted the Era boys
that Captain Alexander refused to
finish the game and told the
Gainesville club they could claim
the honor of winning if tliey so de-
sired.
The score when playing stopped
stood 15 to 14 in favor of Era.
Captain Alexander called at the
Hehperian office last evening and
left the following:
A Challenge.
Captain J. W. Alexander of the
Era base ball club hereby chal-
lenges the Gainesville club—to be
composed of the same men who
played Friday—to play a game on
any ground except Gainesville, for
a purse of $100.

It must be a slow coach indeed
that lets our evening neighbor get
ahead of him, but we have to
plead guilty of being behind on the
school board meeting. However,
we had a good excuse. A mem-
ber of the board informed us that
there was not a quorum. He was
leaving the city and thought it
was straight. So the little para-
graph about the meeting failing to
materialize crept in. But we gave
the most important part of the
work done.
That school board meeting it
seems did "materialize." But we
got our news from a member of
the board who was leaving the
city and did not think there was a
quorum left.
The city council has not for-
gotten that Gainesville would like
to have a park. Some of these
days they will get things in shape
for one.
