Os course it may be true that good horses seldom go oft' their feet and it is also true that Decatur made worse errors yesterday than they have during the whole numlier of games that have been played in this city. That's my opinion of the situation and accept the same with a full degree of satisfaction* for I hear that Decatur and Bluffton are to play again.
