BASEBALL GAME.
Latest From the Baseball War Be.
tween Bucklin and ord.

Latest From the Baseball War Be-
tween Bucklin and Ford.
Here Ia baseball story sent us BY a
Ford man: "One Of the fastest and most
interesting ball games Of the season was
played last Friday when Bucklin aud
Ford crossed bats on the Bncklin Geld.
The home team was showed under by u
small score and WAS held down in tine
style by the Fortiites, with exception OF
the third inning because Of wild throw
lng the Buckllnites we're allowed to push
one run across the plate
In the flrst inning the Ford boys ppshet
two runs across the plate by heavy hit
ting, and after this performance The game
never was In doubt. After the frat inning
Ford made three more scores aud the
game ended In score Of to i.
The most astonishing feature Of the
game was the tanning Of B,lcklin's cham
pion pitcher by the Ford twirler. 1t has
been officially stated that the professors
salary with be lowered during the re-
msipder Of the season
Bucklin's record of several victories
and one defeat at Meade does not appear
| to be Of snch importance In the realm Of
state athletics as to demand the impera-
tive attention and CONCESSION from the
Ford team which they have been asking.
The proceeding paragraph was In.
serted to merely jog Bmcklin's memory
and to lei them kncw that Ford appre-
ciated the position OF their own team as
much as they do theirs, and to call their
attention TO tbs fact thai Ford Is still in
the ring, as we'll as Buckin, contesiing
for the baseball championship.
Calling attention to the defeat Of Bnck-
lin by Ford of last year. We trust that
by another year baseball at BuckIin will
be conducted upon such high plane that
IL will be possible for them TO comnete
with Ford without fear OF running their
fair reputation.

the President had done the dismis-
sed battalion of colored troops a
great wrong. this appointment upon
the eve of the Canton speech was
regarded as significant.
