OLD TIME RIVALS.
Business Men of Uxbrdse Revive En-
thuslasm of the Eighties.

Business Men OF UKbridge Revive En-
thuslasm of the Eighties.
Uxbridge, Aug. 6.--The principal topic
Of discussion since last night, is the
great victory of the Heclas over the
Whitinsviiles at Whitinsville yesterday.
The game between the same two teams
at Agricultural park, July 4, and which
the Heclas won in the tenth inning, the
Whitinsville team claim it was robbed
of, and that victory for their team
yesterday would prove that they were
robbed of the July Fourth game But
victory did not perch on their banner.
Probably there was never SO large
number of the business men of the
town who attended any out of town
ball game as there was yesterday, and
they came home as enthusiastic as any
who attended the game
The executive committee of the
Blackstone Valley Agricultural society
will meet Tuesday afternoon to ar
range for their annual fair, Sept IL and
10. 1t is probable that two excellent
games Of ball will be played as usual
one on each afternoon of the fair. Last
year the Hecla-W hitinsville game was
q great drawing card, and there is talk
of game between the same clubs this
year.

business men and entitled to play. I
told him that the fact that some of our
team happened to know how to play
ball little better than others made no
difference with their standing as bust
ness men. DR.. Bastian agreed with me-
OF course O'Brien was not in this
arrangement. O'Brien played as the re-
suit of distinct understanding. If 1
gained by the bargain, the conclusion is
that DR.. Bastian was not properly rep
resenting his team. O'Brien could not
have been put into the game without
DR.. Bastian's consent.
Il am convinced that the business
men can play ball without the assist
ance of any of the men whom Dr. Bas-
tian finds fault with and beat any team
OF professional men he can get together
Il he isn't satisfied let him play again.
This time he can stipulate that no pro-
fessional ball players shall be allowed
and Will stipulate tkat there shall be
no betting"
Tonight it looks as if there would be
a second game. If there is it will be for
blood. There are hundreds of people
who are waiting chance to go to the
game. The receipts will probably be
given to the hospital, or some other de-
serving organization.
There is much talk in town about
the betting. Nobody knows how much
money changed hands on the game, or
how many bottles of wine, but the
practice was carried to an unusual ex-
tent here.
