day, on petition of the counsel of ex-

bond to $4,000. The bond previously re

been $4,000. The grounds for the reduc-

testimony of physicians. Ex-Treasurer
Polk then gave bonds in the sum of
$4,000 and was released.

rightly interpret. Then putting mau out
for not touching the home plate when
running for crippled player. II & fly
WAS knocked and fell in fair ground and
bounded into foul ground before passing
trst or third bases, it was pronounced foul
and the batsman had TO come back, 1t
was just this kind of ball that terminus
ted the game. The umpire called a fair
ball oul. Ii was medley Of errors
from beginning to end.
Any fairly good umpire would not fail
to see which club was the stronger that
day. If the Deltas had furnished pitch
er who had thrown a legal ball, we could
bat him out of his position, not even ex-
ceptIng the curved pitcher. We would
haye beaten them 2 TO fairly and square
ly If we had had fair play, and will meet
them in Grafton to play, with an umpire
selected by the captain of the Grafton
club, or any other fair way. They want
to play US for $25 on their own grounds.
Let them save money by taking half of 1t
and going to Grafton,
In regard to the whiskey we are unable
to say much, bnt know of some of the
'Deltss' who asked for drink but il
could not be had then.
The ball given the Deltas was furnished
by myself so the club could have no ex-
cuse for playing us again. The bat be-
longed to the club.
