Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1867-08-30

No CORRECTION TO MAKE.-An arti-
Gle, not signed, appeared I'm the Water
loo Courier of the 22d attempting to
correct the article published In the GA
zErTE few weeks since, commenting
on a game played between the Cedar
Falls Club and The delegations from tho
Ceslars, Sweepstakes aud Empires, of
Waterloo. Now rs to which of the
clubs are Untitled to credit, If credit
there be, we care not as 1t was merely q
friendly game, but we wish to inform
the unknown" that the writer of the
article in the GAZETTE pds acquainted
with the, facts and gaze them just as
they were. The Cedar Falls club did
not know they were to play any other
club than the Empire until they arrived
on the ground. Take the wording of
the letter quoted. Mr.. Elwell, Secre-
tary of the Empire club says: "The
Empire club Is almost disorganized-
there being neither LIST or "a nine in
regular organization. But. upon con-
sultation with some of the boys, am
authorized to state that we will be very
happy to see you, and will play with
such q nine as we can raise" What
would any sensible person understand
from the reading but that the boys were
all to be from the Empire club when
the Secretary Of that club says: 81 have
consulted with some Of the boys co.
The unknown Ia wrongly Informed as
to what Mr.. Van Saun said. Mr.. NIL
Ter informed Mr.. Van Saun while going
to the ground, that there would be men
from other clubs, when he ivan Saun, J
replied, only speaking for himseJ, that
''he did not care If they had men from
the Nationals so far as he was con-
cerned.n That was his first intimation,
and the remainder of the nine did not
know anything about the consolidation
until they arrived on the ground. As
We before stated, we care not which
club came out best, we only wish to re-
affirm what we have heretofore stated
as true. The unknown" should be-
come more conversant with the facts
next time, and learn to properly con.
strue the English language. d. m,r.r
BASE BALL.-This "newn game still
continues with unfailing interest. Las
week dispatch was received from tn,
Cedar Club, of Waterloo, by the Cedar
Fails Club, proposing friendly game
on Friday afternoon for practice. Vel
aware that practice was just what they
wanted to make them good players oul
boys sent back word '.come ahead. ~
The nine Of the Cedar Club arrived be
1tween one and two o'clock and wer,
escorted to the ground by the nine o
the Cedar Falls Club and the low,
Central Band. The game commenced
with the Cedars to the bat, who battet
most, fercety, soon demonstrating I,
lour boys the necessity Of a little NOR
J practice to compete with their oppo
nents. u The game lasted four hours
our boys continuing throughout tn,
game and coming out at the close fa
behind. The Cedars, of Waterloo, ar
undoubtedly the best club i'm the Coun
ty. They are all muscular, active mel
who have learned that practice make
perfect. Our boys will need to pla,
more to compete with them. At tn
conclusion of the game the participant
repaired to the Carter House, where
good supper had been provided an,
everything passed off with the best o
feeling among all. The Umpire, A. N
Fuller, of Waterloo, performed his du
ties impartially.
