[For the AGE.
The Game of Base Ball at Barnard.

Mr. EDITOR. -- Dear Sir. Noticing
a communication in your last issue In
regard to a game Of Base Ball played
at Barnard November 8, between the
"Siver Lake Jr.'s" OF that place and
theRoyalton's Of Royalton. We
would like to first give a description
Of the ground on which we played:
1t was situated on a side hill, with
now and then level spo,). Our Sec
oud baseman had to stand on sti.ts to
keep out of the water f; the short stop
had to build raft 10 keep from being
drowned, as he could not swim, aud
the left fielder in captning fly fell
into 'well" and narrowly escaped
death. Any club but the "Silver
Lake Jr. s. would not insult another
club 50 much as to ask them to play
on such Il GROUND.
| Second--lu regard to that Umpire,
he was anything but what we waDted
Third-We had to play against ten
men. Certainly that was fair.
Four,h-In the sixth ming the UNI
pire wished to leave a few moments,
SO we proposed TO put in another un-
| til he returned. A young mau from
here offered bis services which were
accepted by both sides. Then the
Captain (of the Silver Lake Jr.'s) went
20 the bat and i'll making his third
base was put out Then another went
to the bat and was put out on foul,
which made two out. Just then the
former umpire returned, and Trevll'
liam (ot the Silver Lake Jr.s) objected
to the later umpire aud ordered Us to
play the ining over which We did and
got three more men out making five
out in one lining, That was fare de,
clslon too.
In the middle OF the seventh ining
the "Backwoodsmen" began to pour
in with their shoi-guns and axes, and
seeing we were ahead proposed TO
clean us out" which very fortunate
for them they did not try.
We have since then challenged the
above named club tvice ) first, TO
play civil game and not hearing
from them sent another.
Thinking money was scarce (by the
looks Of thugs there), we offered to
pay their expenses it they would come
and play, (provided they would put
"clamp" ON Trevllian's moulh).
But as yet we have received no
reply, we consider them ''gentlemen'
OF the first watet potaloe measure,
