NO GAME Rain Prevents Base Ball at Lima Rosenthals Wers Favorites in the Betting at Two to One.—Were Well Treated. The Rosenthals were forced to be idle yesterday at Lima, on account of the heavy rain that hit that place early Sunday morning and continued to pour down the remainder of the day. The Rosenthals had been extensively advertized and Lima was expecting the hardest game of the season. All Lima was excitement over the contest. At a number of the down town business places the Rosenthals were made a favorite in the betting and many bets were registered at two to one against Lima with Decatur having plenty of backing, although the team being in a foreign place. The manager of the Limas, Mr. Charles Maxwell, is a thorough gentleman and business man and although disappointed over the day, took the bad luck in a good natured way. The Rosenthals are enthusiastic over the fine treatment given them by their Buckeye neighborsand will return there for a game on Sunday July 24th. Lima is certainly base ball crazy and turn out crowds of from 1,500 to 4000 people every Sunday, and on yesterday expected to see the record breaker as regards attendance. The rain prevented both teams from making considerable money. Lima can certainly lay claims to the finest semi professional park (Wheeler) in the state of Ohio,the grounds being in a condition nearly equal to the parks played in by the big 'uns of America. The seating capacity of the grand stand and bleechers is registered at nearly 6000. The ground are enclosed, thus assuring a complete collection of money. In all probability the Limas will be seen here ere the season closes. ke Cream Social. The Young People of the U. B. church will serve ice cream and cake on the church lawn Tuesday evening June 21st. You are cordially invited.
