esLAssBoRo vs.. CLAYTON.

We made brief mention in our last issue
Of the result of the exhibition game last
Wednesday at Alcyon Park. That game
has become county talk and some facts are
naturally interesting to all base ball play
ers and lovers Of the game. The facts as
we understand them are that the game was
played under the auspices Of the Junior
Mechanics, as an attraction to their annual
outing. The Philadelphia Inquirer fur
nished the umpire at the request of the
committee, with the distinct understand
ing that both teams would abide by his
decisions. The abrupt ending of the game
was precipitated by Filters decision on a
ball knocked along the left field foul line.
Fielder Lang made an effort to get under
the ball and managed to reach it, but the
sphere struck bis hands and bounded of
into the foul territory. Filter held that
the ball was fair having struck Lang's
hands inside the line. Glassboro loudly
protested, and opinions seemed to be diyi-
ded on the correctness Of the umpire's deci-
sion, but Manager Sickler announced that
he would not continue play without a
change Of umpires.
Manager Campbell, Of Clayton, agreed
for the purpose of having the game go on,
but the Mechanics Committee refused to
make any change, and Glassboro left the
field.
Manager sickler has made the following
statement OF his actions:
During the trouble in the fourth inning
of the bali game at Alcyon last Wednesday
i went to the manager Of She Clayton ball
team and insisted that there must be
change in the umpire He at first refused
the proposition, but finally agreed, be to
name the new man and myself to pay the
extra cost. I then went to DR.. E. NJ.
Duffield and asked the consent of the Me-
cbanies Committee to make the change,
and tried for several minutes to persuade
him to let us continue the game with new
umpire. After having conference with
Mr.. Potter, of Clayton, he came and told
me that we must either play with the
same umpire or there would be no game,
ana the nISt knew tne people were uls-
missed from the grounds. We stood ready
and anxious to finish the game, but were
not willing to be robbed in a manner best
decided by those present
GLAssBoRo PEOPLE STAND PAT.
The. following statement, published in
last Saturdays Enterprise, shows the senti-
ment Of GIassboro people in this conten-
ton:
"A meeting Of number Of the most
prominent citizens Of Glassboro was held
Monday night, and after due consideration
it was decided to request Manager Sickler
to cancel all further games with Clayton,
as the feeling here is so bitter that it would
be very unwise to haye the two teams come
together again. Glassboro will continue
the schedule Of games through the season
and arrange games with other South Jersey
towns, filling in all dates which were to
have been played between Glassboro and

while on the other hand Chief Leggett had
the visitors at his mercy throughout the
entire game, only allowing four hits, and
the only run was scored on errors. The
star playing Of Fischman, who was released
BY Williamstown, now covering third base
here, and the stick work Of O'Rourke, the

On Tuesday, at Glassboro, after being
robbed by the umpire three times during
the game, Manager White took ais team off
the field in their half Of the ninth inning.
With one out and man on second and
third, Bergen hit the next man up, but the
umpire would not allow him to go to first,
claiming he was out of the box, after
which the game was awarded to the home
team by the score of 8 to 0.
The game was great pitchers battle.
Glassboro scored in the fourth on Rambo's
single and Fox's two bagger, and added
another in the sixth. Williamstown had a
good chance to tie the score in the ninth,
when the dispute arose and put an end to
the game.
