Old Time Base Ball.
The Bellows Falls-Putney base ball
game at Putney Tuesday ended in a
disagreement over an umpire's decision
in the seventh inning. The score at the
time of the dispute was to IN Put
ney's favor. The decision was close
one, which was undoubtedly right, as it
was given in favor of the base runners,
as it always should be. 1t seems from
an interview with Putney player and
a local spectator that, the greater part
of the dissatisfaction was not occasiOned
by the umpire's decision but by the APP
pearance of a Bellows Falls man in a
Putney's uniform.
The Putneys outplayed Bellows Falls
and undoubtedly would have won as the
Bellows Falls players were unable to
solve Smiths pitching to any extent.
Blake and Aver of Putney did some fine
hitting.
