Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1866-08-24

Umpire-Mr Zcll, Ivanhoe Club, Baltimore.
Time of Game, hours.
1t will be seen that there were but S Innings
played out by both clubs, and the Excelsior were
points ahead, instead of the Lone Star being
points ahead. The Lone Star commenced on the
9Th and scored runs when one of their number
disputed with the Umpire and the game stopped.
Counting these made in the 9th, only made the
Lone Star even with the Excelsior, which had
played but Innings.
Five or nine Innings constitute game and if
both parties are even on the 9Th or 9th Innings,
as the case may be, it must be played on until
or the other is ahead.
The sixth Innings was butpartly played by the
Lone Star and not played at all by the Excelsior.
Leaving the score made by the Lone Star on this
Innings out of the count the Excelsior stopped
points ahead and, as Innings constitute game
the Excelsior evidently won it.
The Lone Star will be up shortly to play with
the Excelsior on their own grounds and we hope
the game may be played out without dispute,
when, judging from the manner in which the Ex-
celsior gained ground in the above game, the
Lone Star must look sharp or they will be dis
tanced again.
The Tournament, advertised in the columns of
the Vindicator, came off at the Rockbridge Baths,
on Thursday, the 10th inst. We were unable to
accept the kind invitation of the Proprietors to
be present, but our special says it was s'gr-gr
grand affair."
