The Prairie du Chen Courier of las.
week says, in relation to the game of base
ball played here Saturday the 10Th inst.
"Several Lancaster ladies' came on the
ground bringing boquets as trophies of VIC
tory for their boys who they supposed were
bound to win, but when they discovered that
victory perched not upon the brows of their
brave boys-for they played well-they left
their flowers to fade upon the ground, why
didn't they act the part of chivalry, and say
to the winners, Gentlemen, to the victors be.
long the spoils, here are your laures'" The
Courier is not well informed. There was not
boquet on the ground. Most of our citze ms
went to the ground expecting to see the Ian
caster Club badly beaten as they understood
the P. C.s we're n thorough practice; but
the young men Of Pr. du Chen should learn
that the Lancaster ladies give lsurels not to
the name of victor merely but to the con.
queror who by merit earns the vctor's crown.
When the Prairie Cities earn victory over
the Lancaster Club we shall not be back
ward in wing them all due honor.
