sters, and the Green Socks Nowhere.

strict umpire is not always the most correct In
| his decisions, and lew adverse decisions often
turn the current OF game. Yesterdays play be-
| tween the Mutuals and Stars was presided over by
| an impartial but hasy umpire whose decisions in
some casee were given too quickly TO be correct,
and, therefore, not satisfactory. But that to this
| can be attributed the result OF The game no sane
| person seeing IL would anirn.
| 1t being very well known that the Mutual and
star clubs were to play yesterday very large gath
ering OF the lovers or fine play hand not, It
may be said, to behold the defeat OF the Muuals but
to see how strong the Stars would make the battle.
But what astonishment, disappointment. and yet ad-
mration succeeded. Without commenting further
