Instead of this, I will proceed to show that the compon- eht parts of the Wroxeter scribbler'e pro - c action are misstatenseots and. igno- rance, with a plentiful seasening of "cheek" . He begins by saying that my 1 aragraph would. give the impression hat the Maitlands were riot beaten. • Thwi, T frankly: admitted they were beaten,. but in a game reschibling the ad .style of ball. playing. °The ' game vas not a game of base ball, properly ..peaking. 1 would ask whether a base - all match is one played according to Ire rules of the NationahAesociation, or s it one played accerding to rules got ip , by parties who have not brain enough .0 comprehend the prover. rules.? Why lid ' the "Shoo Flies" object to have balls called on the striker and pitcher? This is one of the finest points in the erame. It is what raises it above the old game, and places it second. to noneof the games played for field exercise ; it tends. to improve the players, - especially the striker - and, pitcher; it shortens the game, .making it More lively and aurae - mg ; iii fact, it may he said, in be the foundation stone of base ball. The only reasoa I can conceive for their objecting is that their pitcher must not have been able to pitch. fair balls, and'consequently their opponents would make runs with- out the trouble and. risk of„ striking for them. The umpire admitted he knew nothing, of the calling of balls ; in fact, he Was quite incompetent. He did not call pies, at the exact time, nor examine either balls, baees or bats ; he also al- ' lowed foul play, and. did not watch the game, as there were players put, Opt he did not notice, but called "not out." • Thedastanee of foul play was Black, of the Shoo Flies,. throwing one of his op- eonents down, when he was attempting : toteatch a-. ball. This should have been called out, but was net. 1 herWroheter writer says, =Cording to the testimony of Cameron ana Brown, the balls were fair. Cameron did not see the balls pitched, and. Brown was not present. Be also says, " if he mistakes not," thac Cameron Waa referred to ou the field, and -sustained the Wroxeter pitching, Cams. eron: distinctly said, on the field, that ! he did not see the balls pitched. My. impression is that the balls which Cam- eron and Brown endorsed were not the dierrael ones.
