Weilsburg to play match game OF base
ball. Both parties were strangers to each
other. Upon their arrival no one Of the
home nine were on hands to receive their
visitors. The game took place, resulting IL
favor of the Wellsburg boys BY score OF
le to II. Our boys came home not well
pleased with their treatment. The home
nine kept all the gate money, and would
not divide with the visitors as Is the rule
other places. After our boys broke all
their own bats they were not allowed to use
any of theirs, except they agreed to pay for
hem if broken. They broke one bat and
complied by paying for the same. They did
not set up the hash to any of the visitors
and treated them mean from beginning TO
end, as we learn they have served other vls-
tirg clubs. We take no stock in that
crowd.
