Ter, the AnaniAs of the nineteenth century,
it becomes nauseous. will plead guilty
of an error in one instant, l. O., in not als
allowing tie base-runner to take hrs ona
base when the ball passed the catcher and
went back to the back stop. The reason
of this was, that when the DeltAs and Rob
Roys played AT RowlesbuTg, the captaIpe

How do you like that, Ananiasl You
must have gotten the games of base bsif
mixed. No doubt you intended TO- uifhe
up the game between the Rob Roys J ana
the Newburg club. Ask any Newbdfke2
how the Rob Roys treated the NewburS
club. Made the NswbuTe oIdB pat ON
six 90 msn In one inning. BnIldozed
them because they were mostIy al,
boys. The Newburg club was getting e.
way with Rob Roys, and you had to re-

thought you would play the game lactics
