openly derided by the average youth of today this is a fact greatly to be deplored and ono which alas will show only too plainly on the succeeding generation it has been grandly said that tho noblest

spend tho money a truce to moralizing my mission is not to moralize the base ball match on saturday last was fairly attended and the playing was well fair j the umpire of he first portion of the game an alleged- ball player im told could hardly be called a success some of his decisions j were decidedly cloudy but this however might be from the effects of the cigar ho puffed away at so industriously the smoke evideutly making the players slightly indistinct notably in the vicinity of the second base as he had to leave before the close of the game an individual named bob some thing or other essayed the role and was certainly not as good- as his predecessor bobs decisions were made in so low a tone that the catcher had difficulty in hearing as for the scorer and spectators that was quite out of the question the homo club put on a brand ndw pitcher whose chief characteristic was the way he perspired his pitching wasnt so bkd at all events the spectators and the first baseman jwere cot in mortal dread of being hit as happened on a memorable oc- cakion when another of the local clubs pitcbersltwirled the sphere somepretty good plays were made on both sides the home catcher gathered in a foul that he had to run for very neatly and and the visitors second baseman stole third base in splendid style on one occasion it is a thousand pities that two clubs cannot meet for a friendly game without indulging in that everlasting wrangling and kicking our club has its quota of kickers but they are s mplyinothing to the kickers from the rock- bound village to the west of us j
