NEW CASTLE, July 80 The Middle
town Transcript makes sickly effort to
excuse the manner in which the manage
ment Of the Mlddletown Base Ball Club
acted in the recent game with New Cas-
tie, by telling its readers that your cor
respondent knew nothing about what
he was writing" in his report OF the
game. In this, the Transcript not only
shows bad taste, but great ignorance of
the national game. In the first
place, when five equal innings
have bsen played, all receipts, ex
penses, etc, must DO allowed and the
game credited to tho winning club In the
same manner as in nine inning game
On Saturday last the New Castle Club
was told that at 1S their train would
leave Middletown station, q distance of
nearly one mile from the grounds. Six
equal innings had been played and at
8. 40 o'clock Carlin Of New Castle stepped
to the plate in the seventh inning when
Manager Waitelock It'd his men that
they had better leave, as they had
to walk to the station and dress The
Middletown manager then refused to pay
one cent toward the visitors expenses,
and would not even allow them the ball
/ that they played with. The game had
been extensively advertised and as the
attendance was large, Mlddletown made
about $35 on IT, The home clubs um.
