A description of the friction on the field at Richmond between one of the Yale players and the umpire, suffered in description in the WEEKLy’s account of the trip, through a slight error in editing the dispatches. Mr. Wads- worth’s remark to the coach, which was made ina “jollying’ way, was a question and not a statement. As he rattled on, he threw in the inquiry “Well, has he ever umpired before?” saying it, apparently for the same rea- son that most things are said by coaches, to wit, for the purpose of say- ing something. The coaches always welcome some new topic of exhorta- tion and this seemed to have been Mr. Wadsworth’s attitude towards the um- ire. Some people thought that Captain Greenway should have given in simply because it was college amateur base- ball and it was better to concede than to scrap. He felt, however, that he was standing on a right which he must pro- tect. As was said in the account, per- fect good feeling prevailed between the two nines. ee ee The May “ Atlantic.” The Atlantic Monthly for May will con- téin a batigd irom.the penol.
