The above charge,'so boldly and specifically made, is one that has been heard very frequently in this place, since the ball games of the Fourth. If true, it is, rls.tbe Tribunk says, a disgrace to a town. At least it is a disgrace to the ball club which would engage in it, and through them, a disgrace to the town which the club represents. Our Rensselaer club ought, in some conclusive; and unequivocal way, to clear themselves of this charge.
