NO GAME.
JonesviIle and Big Stone Gap
Ball Teams Failed 20
Play SATURDAY..

1 1t was announced in the last issue
OF this paDer that the Jonesvile and
f and Big Stone Gap ball teams would
play match game at this place on
Saturday afternoon, last. The
JoneSville boys, and with them some
forty or fifty visitors, came on the
morning train and the prospects for
a nice game Of ball we've fine. At
three O'Clock, the time set for the
game, large number of people had
assembled on the grounds TO watch
the game, among them being the Wis
itors from Jonesville, quite a number
from Stonega, East Stone Gap and
other places, making a nice sized and
respectable crowd. When the hour
to play arrived the Jonesville bows
objected to the catcher on the Gan
team, who was Mr. Monroe Gilly, oil
East Stone Gap, claiming that he
was not a member of the Gap team,
and was not, therefore, entitled to
play, but this point was settled and
the Gap boys agreed TO play home
catcher. But this was not all. The
most serious objection and the one
that broke up the game, was to the
umpire the visiting team had brought
with them, who, they said, must UNI {
pire the game. This umpire was
we'll known to the Big Stone Gap S
boys, and as they regarded him
wholly incompetent and Unfair in his 0
decisions, refused to allow him to
umpire the game. This same man

iderable trouble, and if we remem- to
