FALL RIVER, Mass, July 29.-Wed-
nesday's game was the biggest farce
seen on the local diamond in several
years. New Bedford tried youngest r

pounded him at will. The other players
were thoroughly disgusted and played
listlessly until finally Stanhope threw
off his glove and refused to play. He
was induced to return and then Miller
eased up and allowed the visitors TO
score five runs. Callopy went into the
box and the Fall Rivers played to fin
ish the game as soon as possible. Act

ed and then gave away number OF
tickets which he had taken at the gate.
He was finally arrested on a charge OF
drunkenness. Attendance $50. Score:

so by cloud of witnesses, if necessary.
This is a question that has got to be

by asserting that Ihave misrepresented
the facts. The farmers are up in arms
over this matter and they are bound to
be heard. If they cannot have such
