THE MILFoRD charlottesville Sussex Argus,
Of Saturday, contains II long communication from
Mr.. Justus Lowery Of Milford, concerning the
recent games of the Excelsior b. B. @. with the
Diamond State and Atlas clubs. Referring to the
difficulty in choosing an Umpire in the former
game, it says =
"The reporter Of the Commercial was certainly
laboring under wrong impression, when he
stated that we objected to two Umpires for such
was not the case. We did object to one gentle
man for reasons best known to ourselves. VIZ
Base Ball Club in the city Of Wilmington, might
act as Umpire, to which they objected, and asked
il we were willing to MIR. 4. as Umpire. To this
the Excelsior agreed, (although tho Diamond
State claimed him as a member Of their own
Club and when the players took their positions,
4 gentleman walked out with an umbrella ovei
him who had never been proposed us Umpire Il
any man of the, Excelsior; by name, Mr.. Moses
Emory, uf the Thorne b. B. c., of Philadelphia
Alter inquring about an hour after the game was
over, we found that that was the gentleman's
name"
The following statements arc noticeable:--
"At the commencement of the sixth innings
with Thomas Mt the bat, he called three balls on

the game, which they could fairly win II They
had Justice done them, asked the Captain tC
throw up the ball aud retire from the field, which
he did, and every gentleman present, not CON
nected with the Diamond State, stated that the
Excelsior did what was proper and right"
"a parting word to the Diamond State b. B. c..
of Wilmington. Let some member of their club
take out of their case, ut their " Headquarters, '
the ball marked s. Excelsior rs. Diamond State
or they will be always reminded that they havt
blamed the Excelsior for what they have so often
done themselves"
The game with the Atlas Club is thus described
:" The Clubs met ut - O'Clock, and the gam,
commenced ut 1. The two clubs tied on ever,
inning up to the fourth, although not well plnyet
on either side, the weather being so excessively
warm.
Sat the termination of the third inning, Mr.. e
+. Reilly, the catcher OF the Excelsior, was takeI
very sick and had to stop playing. They having
no other man to substitute in his place, as NJ
other member had played in that position for thu
