McDonald, the big first baseman of the Domestic, in Trenton Wednesday attempted to use a bat flat on one side. It was kept safely concealed in its bag until his turn came to the bat, when he slyly drew it forth and walked to the plate. The eye of Fox was too keen, however, and judgement on the bat was asked. Umpire Curry condemned it and compelled the b.f.b. to procure another.
