The battle has been fought and the
@ A. C.'s oolors have been lowered by
the Rockford Club under olrcumstan.
ces which all fair minded people must
regret. On the occasion of the game
here one gentleman who was late for
the train made the assertion that the
club would be attended to II ever 1t
went to play the Rockfords. His
words came true Saturday, and he took
an active part In the affair. as he acted
the part OF q partial umpire.
/ am an admirer of the Rockford
Club at present. as have been In the
past. and feel proud that the O. A. O.
was dofeated on Saturday. for the
simple reason that that club would
not play In Philadelphia. where fair
umpire could have been selected.
But ! certainly feel ashamed of the
Rockford club for the language 1t
used and permitted TO be used Oh
Saturday. The club went outside Of
all decency by permitting the free use
Of fish horns and ratties. Even the
ladies forgot their sex on the occasion
by acting in manner unbecoming to
ladies.
The club knew before &c went to
Wilmington that II would receive
rough treatment, but 1t was never
dreamed that such uncalled for and
unRentlemanly conduct would be per-
mitted by the best amateur club In
Delaware.
During the progress Of the game a
hot headed officer struck q citizen
from here twice with his club and ten
witnesses of the affair and the man as
saulted will appear before the police
commission In Wilmington with
charge against tho officer.
