this city Sunday afternoon between
Stevens Point and Grand Rapids, was
not creditabie to either side. We are
sorry to know that base ball aggrega-
lions cannot get along together any
better than the two mines which
played yesterday afternoon. Fully
half of their time was spent is
disputing decisions of the UNI
pires. After playing nearly three
hours the game resulted in a
score of 5 to in favor of Stevens
Point. The teams were so evenly
matched that it required unfair de
ciSsions on the part of the umpires
for the one team to get the advan-
tage Of the other, and disgIaceful
performance was the result of the
whole affair.

The remarkable part of the whole
incident was the fact that Mr. Whit
rock did not enter the barn at the
time he started to do so. In
talking with him regarding the
incident, he can only say that he is at
a loss to know himself why he went
to the shed. He says that a peculiar
feeling took possession of him Just as
he was going to enter the barn, and
without trying to explain, he merely
started for the shed and told his son
to follow him.

The City league occupied Rockville yesterday afternoon for the first .:ipe in four Sundays and the three games p.ayed were replete with excitement Naturally the biggest interest cep- tered in the contest between the B.ooklyns and the Washington Hills. There has always been bitter rivalry between these two teams and one os the biggest crowds of fans this season turned out to see the teams tack.e each other. Johnny Keliy. who has always been a stumbling block to the chaps from the ELI was CD the slab yesterday. while opposed to him was another good one in Dick Phe.an. The Hills began their attack early and scored one run in the very first in- ming. The Brook!yns tied them ln the second h the fourth the Hills aga!n got busy and by good Stick work and some mispiays they brought five run ners over the plate. The Brooklyns kept begging away and scored two h the fourth and two in the fifth and there the score remained. to ,, un- til the last inning. With one down in the ninth on the Brooklyn side it looked Ike the Hills for winner. when the sticks of the Brooklyn were oiled up and they hammered the bail 10. three safe hits, and with two CT TOTS they brought in three runs. which lead the Hills could not overcome. and the boys from across the bridge went home delighted.
