New York. oct. 6.-Attention centered on
the bank statement on the Stock Ex-
change to-day. But the very heavy de-
cline IN cash reserves Of the banks seem

prices down after the statement appear

bulllng tho market during the week, seem

The Interior demand for cash has been

The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1900-09-27

The Hartlsnd correspondent of the
Pittsfleld Advertiser has the following
In regard to the treatment accorded the
A hens ball team in Hartland, Saturday,
the 10th instant, alluded to in the RE-
PORTER, last week
The citizens OF Hartlaud were thor
oughly Disguised at the treatment given
the Athens ball team At the park last
Saturday afternoon. IL was a disgrace
to civic courtesy and village hospitality.
About three weeks ago the so-called
Goodwins of Hartland went to Athens
to play the Athens team and 1t is need
less to say they were royalty entertain
ed. Last Saturday the Athens boys
came down here to play a return game
with the Goodwins, being assured they
would meet, with one exception, the
same team they played against at
Athens. On their arrival thew found
themselves opposed to an entirely diff
ferent set of players made up largely
from Hartland's celebrated first nine
and containing only two of the original
Goodwins. The Athens boys were in
dignant and refused to play and then 1t
was that the hoodlum element, led by
vi lot hihOS OSFoH
their abuse, calling them babies and
haunting them with cowardice, etc., etc.
The manager of the Athens club said,
1--WE came here by invitation to play a
return game with the Goodwins and we
are ready to play them. We did not
come here to meet team made up large
ly from the Hartlands and we wont
stand It. We treated you like gentle
men when you came to Athens and now
we ask the same treatment at your
hands" After much wrangling Athens
boys not Wishing to disappoint the
spectators, who had paid their money to
see game of ball, consented to play a
picked up nine containing two OF Hart
lands best players and before the game
WAS ended two more OF the Hartlands
had been added to the team, every
change being made against the strong
protest of the Athens manager. The
result was a score of 10 to 8 against the
Athens. At the close Of the game the
Athens boys refused to accept any part
of the gate receipts or anything for ex
penses. Doubtless they have carried
away very bad impression of Hart
lands hospitality. The blame for this
fiasco rests wholly with the manager for
the Goodwins were ready and expected
to play until informed that different ar
rangements had been made, and the
members Of the regular Goodwin team
want 1t distinctly understood that they
are blameless in the matter and that
they deeply resent the discourtesy
.hown their friends from Athens by
their manager. One or two more such
exhibitions of trickery and bad faith will
kill the base ball interest In this town.
Our people dearly lovely ball game but
they want it square and they demand
that out-of-town clubs shall be treated
In manly and sportsmanlike manner"
