Came to L in Favor of Hyde Park.
The best game of baseball ever
witnessed in Hyde Park was played
on the schOOlc campus yesterday after
noon, when the second game of the
season was played between Morris
vile and Hyde Park. The game was
called for two o'clock, but owing to
the rain the game was not COM
menced until nearly $50. AS a meet
between these teams is always pro-
ductive of more or less disputeit was
wisely arranged by the management
to put this part of the entertainment
on as a prelude and to devote the
remaining time to the game. The
prelude consisted of the settlement
of misunderstanding in regard to
an umpire. The Morrisville team
asked for two umpires and brought
W. L. Tillotson to actin this capacity
for their team. They also intended
to play Morris, who has pitched two
games for them, on third base.
Manager Hanley, for the Hyde Park
team objected to this on the grounds
of different arrangements made be-
tween the managers of the two
teams previous to the day of the
game. The Morrisville captain finally
withdrew his claims and Will Barrows
of Johnson umpired. Morris played
on the bench and Waite put up a
good game on third, notwithstand-
ing the absence of his uniform. The
