AN ANSWER TO THE ABOVE, BY OUR BASE
BALL REPORTER.
[The above communication was SUBJ
mitted TO our base ball reporter, and his
reply may be found below. Both sides
have now mad their explanations, and
we think it a good time to end the dis
cussion.-EDs.]
In answer, Mr.. Editor, to the grave
charge contained in the the opening
sentence of the above description of last
Saturdays game of ball, we plead guilty.
Our grounds had not been newly moved.
We had not expected them to be sub
jected to such critical inspection. The
Wilmington club had made no dispara-
ging comments. And besides We had
played at the home of Capt. Aomstrong's
nine, and gave them the kind of a field
to play ON that we supposed they were
most familiar with, basing that SUPPOSE
ton on our experience there.
Capt. Armstrong makes charge in
the next sentence that will prove
boomerang before dispose of it, and let
us hope his assertions hereafter in print
will be less vulnerable. Touching Mr..
Frazer's connection with the game, l
dislike to make personal references, as
Mr.. f. has not rushed into point, but he
has been put forward by his friends, and
whether that implies his consent or not,
Capt. AS. charge, however absurd, may
be taken in hand. Concerning "the in
vincible Harry Frazer, formerly of Glas-
gow," it may not be improper to state in
the first place that the Newark team has
never had any trouble in scientifically
furnishing that gentlemans curves, as
several Victories of the Newark club
bear witness, and in the second place
that Capt. A. endeavored to reassure the
terrified (?) Newarkers, by stating posi-
lively that Mr.. f. was not to pitch.
Capt. Armstrong must therefore have
made this statement in bad faith, and
his newspaper charge above docs not
place that over-zealous young gentle-
man in an enviable light. See? That
disposes of most of the cheap thunder
that our friends brought along with
them.
Capt. A. makes some ungenerous and
uncalled-for thrusts at Capt. Foard.
can relieve Mr.. Foard the charges of
incompetency, etc. At least two of
Foard's players, both ends of the battery,
refused to play the game under any
circumstances, and Foard was response
BILE in no sense. They refused to play
in consequence Of the misunderstanding
intentions of the visiting club, which
were inadvertently revealed by one of
their players before the game with Will
mington commenced Foard simply
could not get nine together, Us others
of the Newark team would not play with
out their principal battery.
The Newark players do not make a
practice of playing games of ball through
the columns of newspapers, but as Capt.
AS. pretentions commencement calls for
several revisions, they are made as a
duty we owe to our people in Newark
who sustained our action last Saturday.
9to0! Imagine Capt. A. assembling
his men on our unsuitable" base ball
grounds, and after they had sufficiently
impressed us with their brilliant prac-
tice work." assuming the functions OF
umpire, in addition to his responsible
position as captain, and pompously an.
nouncing his club the victor. Character.
istic modesty, indeed

LouIsrANA's WILD GIRL.-Here
follows a strange story from the
Trinity Oa.) Herald
One day last week two strangers
passed through Trinity on foot, hay
ing travelled from Alexandria. They
gave thrilling account of meet
ing held with the wild girl of Cata-
houla, near Hemp's Creek. They
say she is one of the most ferocious
looking beings that they ever saw.
They stopped to ask her few ques-
tons, but could not get nearer than
fifty feet. She is as fleet as deer,
and at one leap she cleared a root
seven feet high. She uses no lam
guage, only gibberish.
Her arms are long, brawny and
muscular. She appears to be about
1G years of age, and has a kind of
limp when walking. They could
not get near enough to distinguish
whether she had a deformed foot.
She had an old knife, which they
say was about eight inches long,
which she no doubt uses dexterous-
ly. She is in height about 4 feet 6
inches, and would weigh about 125
or 140 pounds, with no surplus
flesh. These gentlemen say that in
that neighborhood they gave the
information and that no one seems
to know anything about the girl.
The men say they would not
sleep in the woods near where they
saw the girl for all there was in the
parish. She has immense eyes, and
her hair hangs to her waist and is of
beautiful brown.
A committee of fifteen men with
provisions for two weeks will be or
ganizod, and steps will be taken
soon to apture her.
A. ]. Drake, of Palatka, Fla, has
a vest that was worn by his grand
father, Albrittain Drake, during the
Revolutionary war. 1t is made of
cotton homespun, with gourd, but
tons, and measures sixty inches
around the bottom-ample confr-
nation of the family tradition that
the Revolutionary ancestor weighed
1862 pounds.
