Manager Watkins telegraphed the Journal on
Friday that his club lost the game with the Vir-
ginias on Thursday on account of Valentines
unfair umpiring and vouehsafed the further
information that that gentleman publicly de-
worst of it, Valentine may be dishonest UNI
pire, but he certainly is no chump, and knows
that if he should make such declaration as
that credited to him he would be instantly dis
charged
There is something wrong in the accounts re-
garding that .Allegheny-lndianapo game,
which the latter lost Manager Watkins tele-
graphed home that Phillips was drunk on the
field and let in seven of the eight runs made,
and had been suspended for the remainder of
the season. The official score credited Phillips
with only two errors and showed that KeTins,
who caught had eight passed balls which,
doubtless, were the cause of much of the run
getting. The next day. and Since Phillips played
usual which doesn't look much like he had
been suspended.
Manager Watkins telegraphs the following ac
count of yesterdays games:
lost the first by the poorest exhibition of first
base play ever by who professed to be base
ball player McKeon got indifferent and allowed men
to steal bases at their pleasure Morary pitched the
second game which Morrison lost, through sickness,
not being able to go after balls. Barrett caught
another great game and Keenan, played fairly, but
both games lost through the wretched playing of
kerins, the sickness of Morrison and Mckeons indif-
ference"
There is great rivalry between the representa-
tive clubs of Rolla and Salem Mo. Several
l,ox,o pla koA,,r oil Of
which were won by the Rolla club The Salem
boys at last became tired of this kind of treat
ment. and resolved to make sure of at least one
victory. They accordingly arranged a game to
take place in Rolla last week and telegraphed
President Won der Ahe of the st. Louis club,
to furnish them with good battery, and the re-
suit was that McGinnis and McCauley of the
st. Louis Browns, were on hand, under assumed
names. The Rolla boys were onto them, how
ever, and made up their minds to make the best
of the situation, ana went into the game to win
or die in the attempt. They batted McGinnis
hard, winning the game by score of II to II,
which made genial George look rather blue
Considerable money was up the game. A
grand bail was given that night in honor Of the
occasion.
