know who was responsible for the
article that appeared In The Evening
Journal Whoever he was he had
very poor sight or wished TO see the
game played over. as the Edge
Moor boys we're short a player.
Another point Is this. the Edge
Moor team was the home team ana
were supposed 10 furnish two new
balls for the game They did not
do so. putting one new ball and one
old ball in and then deducting the
price Of two new balls from the
collection. leaving Seventh Ward
but twenty-five cents OF the proceeds.
