NO GAME PLAYED.
The Doylestown Nine Objects to
an Akron Teams Claim.

TO the Editor of the Democrat:
We want to correct the announce
ment made by the team of the Web
ster, Camp IL Lane shops at Akron, to
the effect that they had defeated the
Uoylestown team in game at this
place last Saturday.
Reference to rule No. 62, of Spauld
ing's Official Guide, defining the duties
of the umpire, shows that the latter
shall call the game whenever rain in
terferes with the players and the spec
tators. The Doyletown game was not
called off by the umpire until the
clothes of the players were soaking
wet, the order being given in the last
half of the fifth inning.
Rule 26, page 146, of Spaulding's
Guide, says that no game shall be con-
sidered complete unless five innings
have been played.
AS the game was called before the
fifth inning had been completed, the
Akron team erred In claiming a vic
tory. The Doylestown team is will
ing to play another game with the
Websters when the latter returns the
ball which belongs to the team which
entertained them Saturday.
