Anent the newspaper discussion of the recent base ball contest at Oxford, It might be pertinent to remark that all Rensselaer fans seem convinced that the report published In the Republican was correct, and that Oxford really tried to flinch the game at a time when Rensselaer was certain to win it. Oxford people, on the other band, seem just as certain that Rensselaer was wrong. No newspaper discussion could harmonize these opposite claims, and the Republican does not wish to Bay naughty things about its brother publishers, nor about the good people of Oxford. Let’s get together and play ball. That is the only way of settling the question.
