Text	A question excites the interest of the “Burghers” and “Greenpointers,” as much as that of Nicolson pavement does the Western District. The question is, does or does not the Oriental Base Ball Club pay several of its players? The Times first leads off by saying that the Oreintals offered to pay Patterson if he would joint the club, and he demanded of the Eckfords, of which he is now a member, three dollars and a half for each day he played. Whereupon some one wrote to the said Times accusing the Orientals of such practice, which is denied energetically by the Orientals, and now the Times proceeds to cut them up fearfully. Poor Orientals! Hide your diminished heads; you have run against a snag in attempting to fight a newspaper. Take our sensible advice and be quiet. In your case it is the race of the weak with the strong.
