On Saturday last, the 4th inst, party of
| boys of this place, upon invitation of the
members of the Lightstreet Base Ball Club
visited Lightstreet for the purpose of play
| ing a social game. The nine from this
| town was boys who had never, "with one
exception" participated in game of base
ball and but few of them had ever wit
messed game. Upon their arrival there
they found they were to play an entirely
| different nine from the one they expected
to have as opponents. The boys expecting
defeat but waiting to learn the game and its
rules, consented to play. They expected
common courtesy from the club and the
people of Lightstreet, which they were far
from receiving. The Lightstreet club
| hooted at their mistakes, and, with couple
of exceptions, showed disposition to
wrangle and quarrel upon the slightest
| provocation, and in fact, without any prov
ocation at all. Their treatment of the um.
pire was, If possible, worse than their treat
ment of the club, and taken as whole
h cir conduct was disgrace to the town
The people of the town crowded upon
the players whenever there was any ques
ton in dispute and mouthed their opinions
contrary to all rules and usages of the
game. If the members of the Lightstree
club expect to be considered gentlemen il
the field, they must, with a few exceptions
mend their ways.
