Danville's "Old Timers" met de
feat at Normal Field Thursday
afternoon in a farce which conclud
ed with the score of 7 to 5. It was
a decidedly tiresome contest. Base
ball has become so degraded that
some one ought to apply lor an in
junction against the further use of
the name of this town in connection
with the misscalled "national
game." Let the speculators that
hire ruffians to knock the balls
about and humbug the public call
their nines after themselves. To at
tempt to identify such gangs with
the names of towns is impudently
preposterous.
