BASE BALL "A correspondent writing from
Sanford wishes to correct the mistakes made
by the Biddeferd Times in the report of game
of base ball at that village last Saturday be-
tween the Dirigos Of Biddeford and the Live
Oaks of Sanford. After setting up the writer
OF the Times article in most lively manner,
and speaking of the courtesy of he"gentleman.
ly Dirigos," he states the fact as follows: The
Dirigos came to Sanford to play return game
with the Live Oaks, and upon their arrival
here the Live Oaks received them courteously
and gave them dinner. At 3 p. M they went
to the ground with them and began the game.
The Drigos brought an umpire with them
who, during the first innings mads three de-
cisons that showed conclusivey that either
his knowledge of base ball was limited or that
he was determined the Dirgos should win the
game. The people Of this village who support
the Live Oaks were highly incensed, and earn
esty requested that new umpire be chosen,
which was accordingly done on the second
innings, although the Live Oaks we're willing
to continue the game with the one that was
brought for the purpose. Mr.. Will Thompson,
Captain Of the Stars of Pennington, N. H.,
filed the unenviable position during the re-
mainder of the game to the satisfaction of all
concerned. The statement that the crowd
broke over the lines and allowed the Live Oaks
to score two runs in the 9th innings is abso-
lutely and positively untrue. The following
is the score:
