IronsiieS AND thll
Yesterday the IrOnsidCs had vacant
date and they went to York for tho
purpose of playing an exhibition gamp
with the nine of that town, which oi late
has been winning games from numerous
clubs with the aid Of umpireS
The game was called Ut four o'clock
with the lronsides at the bat. After they
were retired without scoring, the first
man of the Workers went out at short.
The second knocked ball to left field
which was foul by at least l6 feet, yet tho
umpire declared it fair tho next man
knocked q slow ball to right, and it was too
slow To field. lu attempting to steal see
ond, Oldfeld threw him out Higgins
touched him at least feet from
the base. Tho nmpirc yelled "not
out, " aud the lronsides refused tO play
any longer. When leaving the field they
were set upon by the crowd who attempted
in every way to raise fight. They fol.
lowed them to town, and at every corner
made threats against them. Tho wholc
gang kept up their reputation OF being
roughs, and as nine mon could not whip a
town, the lronsdcS had but l,ttlo show.
The papers of York to-day contain windy
accounts of the game and the York club
is praised to the skies, The lrOnsides arc
denounced, and lies OF all kinds are pub
lished against them.
The truth of the matter is that the York
nine cannot play ball, but the town will
fight, and they can defeat 4 niue in that
way only. The talk OF the lrOnsides fear.
ing defeat is silly, rs the York club will
never see the day that they can defeat
either Lancaster club by fair means The
whole management of tho concern are
boys, and clubs with lCpU'a.
tlOn should refuse 10 visit the
town. The management OF both LanCas.
ter teams declare tina, their mines shall
never go to the town again. The best
evidence that the York club cannot play,
is seen by the showing they make when
PLAYING here.
Umpire West, Of the Eastern League,
went with the IrOuSldCs TO York, but the
cause they knew with fair decisions they
could not win.
