Hawleyton - [Sequel to last week's baseball report.] Mud Lake vs. Hawleyton. A fine ball game was played at Hawleyton on October 8th, by the above clubs in which the self-supposed invincible Mud Lakers were defeated to the tune of 8 to 5. The Mud Lakers can play a very good game of ball with their mouths, but it would be well to remember that Broome County covers some little territory, and includes within its boundaries a good many ball nines that can play quite a game in fact if the Mud Lakers for a score they should consider themselves fortunate. A bit of advice boys, because you can beat a few 'kids' don’t imagine from that that you know how to play ball, and further, the "cars won't hurt you if you keep off the truck," there are lots of second nines in the back woods, just play with them if you would keep your conceit intact.
