BASE BALL

i The Wilmington base ball club, for
merly the Brownson, played the local
club here Monday afternoon, and the
six hundred spectators who paid their
admission to see the contest, witnessed
not only ball game, but what looked
like riot for short time while the
visitors were at bat during their half of
the seventh inning. Shultz, one of the
so-called professional playersof the Will
mington club, who had made himself
very obnoxious during the game, was
the first batter in this inning, and
called out by umpire Sweet after being
hit by batted ball, made break for
the umpire. AT the same time three
more Of the visiting players sprang at the
umpire like wild men, and in an instant
the diamond was crowded with the spec
tators. The Wilmington playars made
all kinds Of violent threats and attempted
to hit Mr.. Sweet, but at this junction the
crowd seized two of the howlers and
quickly removed them from the field.
1t was without question one of the most
dasterdly attempts to intimidate an
umpire ever made on the home grounds
and doubtless the Ebay Seeds" as the
Morning Nesus guy called them, prevented
the angry spectators from giving some of
the kickers just what they should of had
good humping.
The home club played a good game,
and the report as printed in the News
that the three runs scored in the seventh
inning by the local club were given them
in order to draw bets from Middletown
people was only to shield the SO called |
professionals in the eyes of the people of |
their own city. Both teams played to |
win, and the visitors admitted to several
OF our people during the game that they |
were surprised to find such a strong |
aggregation Of ball players in our town. |
and more than one of them were heard /
to say they were beaten when the score
stood 3 to 2 in our favor.
Scott pitched the game of his life, and
the Il hits made by the visitors were
well scattered.
