In tlie secoud innings, Winslow madea cleau home run ; Hobau'a "high fly" to left center was beauüfully taken, after a long run, by H. Lake. This oatch was the pretticst plav throughout tlie game, on the part of the Jackson boys, and was descrvedly applaudcd. In the fourtli luulngs lloban sent a "grounder" to the extreme left Held and scored hls 4 bases, although hehad a narrow escape at the homo plate.

The deciding game of the tournament, )etvvcen the Ann Arbor Club and the Unas of Kalamazoo, was advertiscd for 3 o'clock. At the hour naracd "play" was called, with 'Ann Arbor to bat." During the first inuings the Captaiu of the A. A's. protested against the pltching of Dorgan, (a "volunteer" irom the Chicago Athletics,) whom he Umpire cautioned about the delivery of he ball. In the second innings the samo sty le of deli vering the ball (an underhand hrow) was persisted in, and after warniug a second time, the Umpire called balk after balk on Dorgan. After this had continucd or some time, J. McCord, of Unknown ame, took the pitchiug iu hand, bnt his elivery was even more unfair, if that were possible, tlian Dorgan's, and it was rulcd ccordingly. At this stage ctfthe game the Jnas came in from the Held and insisted pon selectlng another Umpire, but upou Capt. lloban of the A. A's. rcfusing to do lis, the Kalamazoo delegation indulged in chin music," braggadocia, and eudeavred to "bully" the Umpire, to such an exent as lias never bcfore been witnessed on base ball field. Their overbearing conuct contrasted strangely with the quiet ehavior of the A. A's., and gained for the atter the sincere sympathy and best wislis o( the entire assembly. L. E. M. Marshall, Sept. 12tb, 1870. i. E. Morris ; - Dear öir- Your letterof the lOth inst. is eceived and couteuts noted. Iu reply I vould state that we still hold the f 75 in ur possession, and at any time the Ann jbor Club and the Unas oí Kalamazoo eel disposed to satisfy the citizens of this lace by coming here to play for it, the winner can have it. We do not think the money belongs to the Ann Arbor Club, alïough they have undoubtedly tlie best laim ou it. Had the Umpire decided the ame in their favor, by a score of "ninc to othing," it wouldhave been different, but u the contrary he decided it a draw game nd declared all bets off, and he furthermore told me last Saturday evening that ie would decide it in no other way. We assure you that no one can feel more orry than ourselves that it turned out in iie way it did, as we wished all the prizes 0 be taken away from this place, and would sooner have lost twlce $75 thau had 1 happen. Your Club have the sympathy of every ne here, their couduct while herc being iu very way that of perfect gentlemen. Xours Kespectfully, Wm. BOSTOCK, Prest.
