The report OF the Dover C. A. G. base
ball game which appeared In the RErupLr.
CAN caused the New Castle people to feel
insulted. A leading citizen handed me
the following letter last evening:
EDITOR DAILY REPUBLIcAN:- As con.
slant reader OF your valuable paper and
base ball enthusiast would like to ask
whers did the Dover club outplay the q.
A. O. / was a spectator at the game
where four innings were played. The
Dover club had three errors, ono hit and
elk strike outs. New Castle had only
three strike outs. one error and had two
hits.
Therefore 1t can be seen that Leach was
stronger than Clarke and that the q. A. q.
batters made more hits. A resident OF
Wilmington who sent telagrams yester-
day to out OF town papers made the boast
that he roasted the @. A. @.
Your paper says that the beginning OF
the fifth inning gave the New Castle play
ers chance to play dirty ball and they
accepted 1t.
before the game 1t was agreed that when
fielded ball went into the crowd that the
batter was entitled to an advanced base.
Or course such q thing was In conflict
with the rules but 1t was an agreement
and Montgomery was entitled to his
second base.
Umpire Burris should not have been al.
enulted but after bis decisions ut The
game here where he won money and the
language he used towards Hayes 1t was
almost justltable under the circum.
stances. but 1t was after the game that
the affair should have taken place. The
Dover club fees so sore over the matter
that IL wants our club to 60 to the capitol
on Tuesday. On Thursday night the
Dover club settled the matter among
themselves.
