icle the following account of Il game ofball
PLAYED on the Mt ST. Marys College
grounds on Thursday last between nine
from this place ard n nine composed OF
Emmtsburg players reinforced by tive
college players, who are remaining ovel
vacation.
"Thc Red Stocking of Mcchanicstown
met the Blue Stockings Of Emmitsburg on
Thursday, on the Mt. st. Mary's field, tho
Blue Stockings being in jolly fine trim
reached the score of 9 to 0, on the part OF
the Reds, and then the latter took to then
heels, with straight coat tails and at this
writing il is not known where they
stopped, gollics. hut didn't they 60!
We did not witness the game, although
such had been our intention, and we by nc
means regret the necessity that deprived
us of the pleasure, (:) for there could h"vt
been little to report that was manly or be
coming on the part Of anybody concerned
What, with one umpire that gave unmis
taxable evidences of partially and Will
another one palpably incompetent; viii
one nine ringing in foreign players, hun
,lrets per cent. more available than the av
eragc player belonging lcg,timately to the
club with the other nine dupcd into the
game with their eyes open and then leaV
ing the grounds before the game was over
with quarrclings and recriminatlons; al
this. we should have been called upon tt
rccoun, in detail had we been present IL
report it.
As it is, We can only express our uttel
dctcstation of such unmanly displays I"
sharp practice, partially and temper.
The home nine gave undouhtcd cylden
crs of superiority IN their match with the
Enmitsburg club, July 4th, and the latter
were expected to strengthen their nlnc II
every legitimate way, else the result Wollt
have been forcgonc conclusion, but 1t !!
not legitimate to play nine men and an
umpire, to say nothing Of two members o
another club.
II does strike us however as being some
thing very marvellous, that the rulings OF
the umpire could have been withstood tol
seven innings and vet not able to stand
them for two more
We have no patience with the "baoI
game that is plead on an umpire some
times by the defeated club, nor should We
take stock in the one played last Thurs
day were it rot that interested, dislnler
cstcl and even hostile witnesses have al
olik, rlaimud and confessed, the former
two classes to partial and unfair rulings
and the latter to errors ~ on the part OF
the umpire
We shall not consider it proud prvil
ere to witness or report any other suci
discoun, games in the future, nor shall we
/ if attended with like display of what
anv-rricc tactics and of childish temper II
then ceases to become spor; and brcomc'
a broil, which We usually report under
different head from that of pleasant pas
times
