OH, THAT UMPIRE.
Watcrviile Cannot Enthuse Over His
Work in Saturdays Game.

The result of the ball game, Saturday,
was perfectly satisfactory to Fairfield.
There is however, some reason why it
should not have been. Taking it for
granted that the Fairfield men played bet
ter all-round ball than did Waterville, it
is a matter of common assent that the de-
cisions of an umpire who betrayed IN
common ignorance of the game figured to
large extent in securing the victory for
Fairfield. When it is claimed by many OF
the Fairfield supporters that Fairfield was
not responsible for engaging the services
of Eaton it should also be claimed that it
was Fairtield'S turn to appoint the Off
cial, and if 4 competent umpire was not
the result it is certainly Fairfields bust
ness 10 explain why.
One who represented our rivals in the
game has OF his own accord admitted to
one of the local reporters of this city
that the decisions OF the umpire were ir-
regular and unfair. and that WaterviIle
got the rotten end of the doubtful de-
cisions." Watervillc is ready to call her
self beaten. but it is natural that she
cannot do so in a perfectly graceful man
