showing while she held her feet, there
was little selling on the field against
Moebel for the final struggle. Many

THAT WESTON BALL GAME.

fers an Explanation.

Captain of the BuckhannOn Team Of
fers an Explanation.
To the Editor of the Register
BUCKHANNON, w. Va, August e.
The report given you of the base ball
game played between Weston and BUCK
harmon on the Weston grounds, Wednes-
day, August LIST, was incorrect. The score
was not 5 TO in favor of Weston, but as
follows:
Buckhannon .......0 0 0 1 ~
Weston .............0 0 @ 0 0 1-3
The last out made by the Weston team,
which was called so by the right umpire,
for the runner jumping inside of the line
more than three feet, caused some dis
pute. AS the Weston team claimed that
their umpire, who was calling the bases at
that time was the one to decide plays at
home plate. But since their claim is not
right, we claim that they have no right
to the score run in by the man who was
not officially called out, and to the score
run in after our team had left the field.
Therefore, the score is rightly to 3 in
favor of Buckhannon.
