The Lincoln'Hazen correspondence over tho
admission of VIM. Hallet Greene, the c,lored

ing reading.
ON July 30 General Hazen found It neces.
ssry TO explain In "A letter to the Secretary of

ored men, but that he thought the law Great
ing Tour colored regiments carried with 1t the
IDEA that colored men should BIO admitted to

however, showed his feeling in the matter 10
the concluding paragraph;
"lf II Is intended that the Signal Corps shall

General Hazen forwarded this letter to tho
secretary, with letter OF explanation and
apology.
The secretarys reply was prompt, emphatic
and decisive. 1t was as follows:

hnlI.

The "Boots" and "Shoes," two baseball
clubs composed exclusively OF shoe clerks
played match game at Capitol Park yester.
day morning. The "Boots" were principally
from Strasberger's shoe house and the
"Shces" were mostly from Hahn's. Messrs.
Ane, Lawrence, Ebbs, Sanger, Burlingame,
Gittenger, Hursh, Crender and Sword com.
posed the "Boots," and Messrs. Reesh, Eoers,
Arnold, Cameron, Arnold, Anstermau, Walters,
Hughlett and Doyle were the "Shoes."
The umpire was George stratton. The game
resulted In score OF II TO 10 In favor OF the
"Shoes." The game was called at o q. m, so
that the regulation number OF innings could
be played out in one day. Greatly to the sur.
prise OF the players themselves and the largo
audience, some brilliant plays were made, aud
on the whole the game was fairly played. The
noble efforts OF Mr.. Sword OF the 'tB0ots" aud
MIR. Doyle OF the "Shoes" deserve special men.
