Base Ball Notes.

The game Friday afternoon between the Lightweights of Rensselaer, and the Stars of Union tp., resulted in an easy victory for the former, by a score of forty-one to nine. The second game at Michigan City, played last Thursday afternood, closed at the seventh inning in order to enable the Rensselaer boys to catch their homeward train. Michigan City won the game by a score of 21, to 12 for Rensselaer. “Guess the Rensselaer boys won’t want to tackle our Michigan City Club again!”—Michigan City Enterprise. The above unkind and unjust remark is of a piece with the decidedly iuhospitablo treatment our Rensselaer boys received at the hands of their Michigan City opponents and their friends. Anyone reading the quotation would be led to infer that the Rensselaer club were the aggressors, so to speak, in the contest between the two clubs, when, in reality they only accepted the challenge from Michigan City after the most pertinacious urging, and then with the full knowledge that they were aboutto encountes one of the very strongest clubs in Northern Indiana. Our boys have already made the most fitting response to the above vain-glorious boast, in the form- of a challenge to the Michigan City club, to come to Rensselaer and play two games, upon the Bth and 9th days of August. If the boys from the sand-heap have sand enough to. accept the challenge,' they may be assured that RermseJaer people never depart from their established practice of hospitality to strangers. They do as they would be done by; not as others do by them. The spire of the new catholic church is now completed and the staging has been removed therefrom, the appearance of the building being much improved thereby. We hope erelong to be able to announce the final completion and dedication of tljie church.
