The return game Of ball between Paw
Paw and Gobleville for $50 was played
last Friday on the grounds of the latter
club and resulted in another decisive
victory for Paw Paws 8 2. 1t is to
be regretted that these friendly con-
tests should be marred by such an un-
pleasant incident as occurred during
the progress of the last game. As it is
told to us by n gentleman who wit
messed the game, Frank Pugsley OF the
Paw Paws caught fly and the umpire,
StapletoD, called the man out. At this
decision the Gobleville captain, team,
and pOpulace generally, set up vigor-
Gus howl of remonstrance--one promi-
nent citizen of that place even so far
forgetting himself as to call Pugsley a
liar. The Paw Paws yielded the point
and went ahead and finished the game,
at the conclusion of which Wasson, um-
pire for Coolies, acknowledged that the
fly was fairly caught 1t would occur
to US that our neighbors, now having
had time to cool off, would feel that
they owe apologies somewhere.
