consideration II would NOT OBSERVE were IL Simply
the etfusion of the excitable, and, for obvious
reasons on the las MATCH excited Mr.. Lowery
who ordered his club to leave the field with
| confident sense of proprietorship in his fellow
men not usual since President Lincolns Emanci-
| patton Proclamation
| But to the letter itself, the writer of the COM
inunication says:-
"Thc reporter of the Commercial was certainly
aborng under wrong impression, when nc sta
,vus n t w all no, T., en-, .ntia
man for reasons best known TO ourselves. We
| proposed that Mr.. Albertson or any member of
pusc b,i, oimo ~ ny cny o, Milin3'on, nlgnl
five were willing to Mr.. n rs Gmpire. To this
the Excelsior agreed (although the Diamond
state calineu nun US member OF tlleir own club)
| tlemnn walked olit with nm umbrelia over him
who Ind never been PROMISED ms Umpire to any
man of the Excelsior; by name, Mr.. Moses Emo

In relation to the statements contained In the
above paragraph, can do no less than deny them
in toto, SO far US the club is concerned, the Re-
porter of the Commercial can presume take care
of his own reputation. Mr.. Gibney, Captain OF
the Diamond State nine asked for the Captain OF
the Excelsior nine. Messrs Revle and Reilly
came forward, the club seeming to have two cap
tains. Mr.. Gibney proposed Mr.. Albertson, the
pitcher of the Wawaset Club as Umpire the other
captains objected this can be proved by compe.
tent witnesses, and is also proved by the fact thai
members of the Excelsior Club stated to members
of the Wawaset Club, that they had COLLECTED tc
, Albertson because he was Wilmington man, bu
if they had known all they then knew they woult
, not have done so" After Albertson was objected
to. Mr. Gibney proposed Mr.. Hammond, the,
objected to him on the ground that he was pre-
a Indeed. Mr.. Gibney then proposed Mr.. Fishel
I they objected to him with almost the same ener
Nv, with which they had objected TO letting hin
g pitch. 1t began to look as though no Umpir
could be found.
