thought that he gave the home team rather the
worst of the bargain. 1t is to be hoped that
this is to be accounted for by the fact that he
has not been doing any base ball business for
several months and is trife rusty. He has
lately been employed as census enumerator
in Hartford. and this may have had to do with
his lack of accuracy. At any rate. he is a poor
substitute for Mahoney, who is the best umpire
that has been here for a long time.

Washington, and the visitors, taking a lead at

That was Wilmington's first game from
Washington.
Wehrie is a great find and just'to think; Sulli-
van could have had him.
