Union both the Ec&iord and Forest City clubs vera
dressed, but they did not come together for play.
The Eckfords wee weak-handej, the brothers Hunt
being called away by the decease Of a parent.
Readers OF tine national game will regret to learn
tnat reports OF matches played at the Capit0lIne
grounds hereafter Will not lind their way into print.
The cause Is tlls:-Mr. Tweed, as a retaatOry act
upon the press for not publishing gratuitous an
nouncements OF matches played upon his ground,
has announced his intention e. the reporters
stand and no longer show favors TO newspaper men.
II is but justice to Mr. Decker partner of Mr. Tweed,
to state that lie denounced his partners words and
acts.
Being unable TO distinguish between professional

grautous advertising OF professional base bull
