Never was there a more disgraceful
| game of ball played on I'll G diam, n
than that of the 22nd, between the
Grafton and this club, and never Vas
there an umpire who made himself
more distasteful than did the umpire of
the visiting club. Indeed, so outland-
ism were his decisions that some of his
own team become Disguised and one
of them remarked in the presence of
the writer that he should be drummed
out of town" Hours before the game
| was called myriads OF humanity could
be seen vending their way to the
grounds and Rowlesburg turned out as
she never did before on similar occa-
sion, in anticipation of an homes game.

is with the Alphabet, was once a league
umpire, and umpired many we'll con
tested game between the Hartford and
Yale boys besides he was a disinter-

harboring an unfair thought, much
less give an unfair decision. and be-
lieving everyone else the same, he at

ions Of the other umpire, attributing IT
