An excellent .,amc OF ba-" ball was played
here on Wednesday, between Woodawn and
Port which was not completed until the
tenth inning. The score was 1 to 3 in favor
of Port.
North East will play here Saturday.
1t is singular but noticeable fact that
when game of any kind is played the defeat
ed party often say, the umpirng was unfair,
some one cheated, and 80 on, ad inflnitum.'
Just so it was last Saturday when the Rising
sun base ball team played here. The game
was one of the prettiest ever played in this
or any other town, and we are proud of it..
The Sun boys played well and that put our
boys on their mettlc. Every one was loud in
praise OF each side. The game was witnessed
by large number OF the fairer sex who gave
unstinted admiration to all who deserved it..
In an Elkton paper on Wednesday we
were surprised to notice the follow
ing: The Risingsun club suffered defeat
on Saturday by the Port Deposit club at the
latter place in one of the prettiest games
played this year. The umpiring OF Paxton
was so decidedly unfair that he was removed
in the sixth inning. His decision at second
in the first inning when Gibson tried to steal
was responsible for two runs" which was
decidedly unkind. Paxton's umpiring was
excellent, but the visiting club kicked so it
was thought best to put another in his place
as they did not wish any unpleasantness
Gibsons steal from first to second was safe
and not an tout" as the writer claims. All
make mistakes. even the best umpires, but
when we are defeated it would be well to
accept The inevitable gracefully and try
again. The opportunity will soon be given
and we trust all will be settled with good
feeling. The score stood 4 to l in favor Of
Port.
