The game Of base ball which was expected
20 be the best game played here this season
between the North East and Baldwin's teams
proved a tlzzle. Baldwin's team was repre-
sented by Houghey and Hartzel, of Philadel-
phia as battery, and Green and Bennett, of
Elkton. The game ended in the 9Th inning
when with two men on bases with three balls
and two strikes on the batter the ball was
pitched but did not go over the plate by at
least 10 inches, but nevertheless the Bald
wins umpire called him out, when the North
East club demanded another umpire. But
the visitors refused to furnish one and the
game ended after the North East manager
asked them to take their places. At the end
of the 9Th inning the score was s to in favor of
the visitors. 1t is believed that If the game
had been finished the North East club would
have won the game. Our team did not put
up their usual good game perhaps. because
of the Philadelphia players. one Of whom
however never reached first base.
