ANOTHER POSTPONED GAME.
ON ACCOUNT OF WET WEATHER.

1 ON ACCOUNT OF WET WEATHER.
 The Sheltons came to town last Sat
 urday prepared to play the game as scheduled but the weather decreed
 otherwise, for at ? o'clock it began to rain and continued all the after
 noon. In contrast with the treat
 ment accorded the NewtOwn team by WOOdbury management (when in the
 game in that town with NewtOwn
 more than five innings were played and which under the rules governing
 the game was in reality game and
 the NewtOwn team thereby entitled
 to their guarantee money asp per previ- Ous agreement), the NewtOwn mana out the season in all business dealings with visiting teams, although not morally or legally bound to pay the SheltOnS the money guaranteed, in as much as not ball had been pitched or batted Or an hinning played neyerthsless g, e is.; is such Sl treat@ent accorded visiting teams that has gained for the manager of the New town team the reputation of being one of the squarest of managers of amateur teams in the the manager of the Wood bury's to pay the them, on the ground that five innings did not constitute game under the rules, has made him the object of much criticism in this section; The Newtown players are glad to 1e,an learn that M MWoodbury is yet playing ball df benefit of the Honorable Mir Cowles of Hotch- kissville it may be stated that the manager of the NewtoWn team has about decided to challenge the WOodbury team to play game at the Newtown Fair Grounds on Saturday. September7, at 3 p: m the game to be um- pired by a trustworthy, disinterested and im- partial umpire to be chosen from among the best that can be procured either in Bridge port or New Haven. It is to be hoped that Woodbury will accept and not squeal as they did at paying the guarantee money they owe, and if they decide to play let the best team win and there will be found no complaint coming on the part of Newtown.
 Next Saturday, August 31, at 3.3O p. m., the Merrimac Athletic clubs team of Waterbury ,. will cross bats with the Newtown's, and sharp, well played and interesting game no will be present to witness the game.
 On Monday next. Labor day, the Newtown's cross bats with the Sacred Hearts of Bridge port The game will be played at D. m. sharp. The Sacred Hearts, next the Grapho- phones, are considered one Of the strongest amateur teams that Bridgeport can boast of, and it has some good ones. It will without doubt be close and exciting game and as Monday is a holiday everyone will no doubt turn out to see the game, weather permitting.
