OUR REPORT WAS CORRECT.
From the Lynchburg Advance and
! News and other sources. the Dispatch
| learns that there is complaint made in
Lynchburg OF our account Of the base
ball game played there on Thursday.
That report was made by member Of
our city staff. who IL well known to be
| reliable and truthful. and We cannot be-
lieve that he has Intentionally msrepre-
scented anything. He assures US that he
has good authority for every statement
made.
a citizen OF Richmond. well known 10
baseball men here. who was present at
the game In question. came into the Dis
patch Office yesterday and vouched for
the accuracy of our report. and said that
1t could and should have been made much
stronger in all those particulars which
referred to the hostility exhibited against
the Richmond players. 1t is useless for
our Lynchburg friends to call Governor
O'Ferrall and his party as witnesses In
their behalf inasmuch a. they did not get
there until the game was half over, and,
as we stated, their presence Modified the
temper Of the crowd.
our own disposition Is TO let the past be
bygones. and we would urge the two club.
to cease their pickering, but whenever
an impartial investigation Is made not
but of the grounds at Lynchburg our
information is to the effect that the Dis
patch's report will be found erroneous In
no important particular.
