The Ondawas of this place played a
match game Of base ball with the Emmets
Of West Rutland, on the fair grounds at
Rutland, Saturday, being victorious in a
score OF II to 8. Ii was one of the best
games ever played in the State. The
ground is not well fitted for base ball, be-
log on the top Of a knoll, with quite a
sharp descent In all directions, and quite
rough. The Enmets had beaten all the
clubs In that vicinity aud are really good
players. On Saturday their pitcher was
not in good condition and hardly did the
club justice, though be evidently did the
best be could. The Oodawas were too
much for their opponents, their pitchers
delivering curved balls, which was new
"wrinkle" to the Emmets and completely
demoralzed them, and on the last two
innings they practically gave up the con-
test, which gave the Ondawas few more
runs than they would otherwise have had.
The first run made BY the Emmets was
on very careless throw by the pitcher
Of the Ondawas to the first baseman, with
two men already out, the ball going
above bis reach. The other two runs by
them were made by running against the
hrst baseman just as he was taking the
ball aud disabling him for some time.
The Emmets claimed that be was in the
way Of the man running aud the umpire
allowed the claim, but il was rather ques-
