AN INTERRUPTED GAME OF BAIL.
game OF base ball was played yesterday on
the grounds in the rear of the college trac. be-
tween rival teams Of Georgetown and Washing
ton. The game was closely contested through
out, and AZ the expiration of the ninth inning
| the score stood to in favor of the home team.
A member of the city club insinuated that this
showing was inaccurate. Then the score
marker, hot-headed but good fellow, resented
the lrsinuation with blow. and before long
there were nineteen base bail players i'll a row.
The bystdnders wisely remained neutral. FL
| nally, when seven OF those nineteen had drop ped
| out of the melee TO bandage their bumps and
cuts. the city boys became convinced that the
score WAS correct. Apologies followed and the
whole crowd came to town together, though
some OF them had beautifully decorated faces
and were the laughing stock of the small boys
met on the way. The clubs have decided to
meet again. and this time they mutually agree
to abide by any decision of the umpire any
showing of the score-marker. however unrea-
son2ble either may be.
