There have been ugly rumors afloat in the base ball world this week concerning the Washington Club, which is now on a Western tour under the charge of Mr. Bruce, to the effect that they were allowing country clubs who would give them $50 and the full gate receipts the name of defeating a professional nine, the number of games they have lost with amateur clubs has had the effect of making the story plausible, yet for the name of the game and the Washington Club, we hope the rumors are without foundation.
