Umpire, Mr. Bird, '77.

The rubber game between our Nine and the Lowells, played last Saturday, was extremely unsatisfactory, and gave the Lowells an opportunity of showing a mean and cowardly spirit that was contemptible.

Our Nine, by good batting and fielding, had everything their own way up to the fourth inning, when, by a series of terrible errors, executed by Leeds and others, the Lowells were enabled to score six runs and tie the game. But in the next inning we again got a good lead, and all went well up to the eighth inning, when a bad muff of Wright's off a pretty throw by Dow from right field, gave the Lowells three runs and the lead. But our chances were still good until the Lowells, when about to take the field, were ordered to stop playing by their manager, who claimed there was an agreement to stop the game at five o'clock. An animated discussion revealed the fact that, for the accommodation of the Lowells, such an agreement had been made by the captains. But it also transpired that the last two runs of the Lowells were made after five, and therefore, according to the strict letter of the agreement, - which the Lowells, before this point was discovered, were vehemently insisting on, since they were one ahead, while from their own statement they would not have stopped had they been behind, - the game should have been thrown back on to the seventh inning or forfeited to us, as our men were willing and anxious to go on. The umpire, however, not seeming to understand all the features of the case, gave the game to the Lowells, who departed glorying in their shame.

Below is the score: -
