Text	Nines slected from the striking linemen and telegraph operators played a match game of base ball on the Polo Grounds Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The use of the grounds was tendered to the telegraphers by the managers. Members of the brotherhood were admitted free of charge, an admission fee of 50 cents being charged to others. The entire proceeds will go into the treasury of the organization. The telegraphers had the grounds thronged by their friends, so that a good sum was realized, the game netting about a thousand dollars. The Operators defeated the Linemen by 18 to 17. … when the announcement was made that the American Rapid Telegraph Company had acceded to the demands of the brotherhood a cheer was sent up that could be heard for blocks away.
