Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1894-10-08

/ In consequence of certain mislead-
ing reports which have been put forth
concerning the two unfinished games
of ball between the Newport and
Irasburgh clubs it is but just to the
latter that a little explanation be
given. During the game at the fair
at Barton the captain of the Newports
developed what the editor at that
time termed ''warlike spirit" and
refused to continue the game unless
his demands were granted in direct
violation Of rules and the decision of
the two umpires. Smartlng under
three successive defeats the Newport
club assisted by players from Barre,
came to Irasburgh Saturday, Sept. Goth
evidently determined to have the
game by some means. After two inn
ings finding themselves on the losing
side, the Newport umpire demanded
that the Irasburgh pitcher, who had
rubbed resin, or some kindred sub
stance on his hands "a common prac-
tice) should go and wash. He of
course declined and Newport refused
to finish the game. Perhaps, the
rules of next season may be SO chang
ed as to require players to wash be-
tween everything, but hardly this
year.
