Text | The Mutual base ball nine (colored) of Washington, D.C., who played with the Irvings, in this city [Worcester], Wednesday and Thursday, and have been some time in the New England States on a tour, have been stranded in this city by the unceremonious departure of their treasurer and business man, Thomas G. Barlow, who played in the nine under the name of Smith. Barlow had all the funds in his keeping, and last night paid the hotel bills in Webster, where the nine played yesterday, and then dusted, leaving his fellow base-ballists penniless. The boys estimate that Barlow took off some $200, and that he has been a defaulter all the time during their trip. The nine managed to get back here today, but have no money to go father, and seem considerably depressed over their misfortune. |
