The Petersburg bail elub went to Jasper Sunday to play the club of that place. The Princeton team was to have played thare on that day. but for some reason did not go. and the boys here were asked to come, receiving word late Saturday afternoon. The boys went as an accommodation, little thinking that they would be turned on as they were. The manager of the Pirates claims that the'manager of the Jasper tew ’would not consent to using double umpires or to the selection of Frank Taylor, but insisted on another person. To this the manager of the Pirates objected and concluded to-return home. When the boys started for home they were pelted with stones and eggs. They had gone there expecting better treatment, and will probably never venture again to Jasper to play bail* The better class of citizens of Jasper do not approve of the actions of the rowdies who assaulted the Petersburg boys. Such actions should be condemned by every law-abiding citizen and those interested in the assault should he punished.
