BASE BAwL.-That is what we call
the following noise from the Mcchan-
icsviile Press:
The Tiptonites failed to come to time
on that day, (Iast week Tuesday, but on
the afternoon of the day previous. they
sent word tina. our club could meet them
at Clarence to-day, (Friday,) and there
try for ball and bat, but the boys are
not that way inclined. They like the
Clarence boys well enough, but when
they were challenged to play game,
and they set Il time and chose the
grounds, they propose to play on those
grounds or not play at all.
The facts in the case are, that the Tip
ton club challenged the Mechanicsville
club some three weeks ago and heard
nothing from the challenge until Mon
day of last week, when they received
an acceptance, the game to be played on
the next day. AS might have been land
probably was) expected, our club could
not go OH such short notice, and SO of
fered to meet them OH Friday, when it
had game at Clarence. The challenge
still stands open, but since their little
game with the Clarence club, which has
gone away with the Resolutes three
times, our boys do not care about vast
lug their time Mechanicsville can get
a more even thing by inviting out our
second nine, which feel sperfectly COM
peteat to cook its base ball goose.
