National League of Professional Base-Ball Clubs, Secretary's Office, Washington, D.C., July 30.--Dear Sir: Yours of the 28th inst. Received. The score forwarded is correct. The game could not end or be called until the play which won it was complete. Had there been three men on bases when Dunlap made his home run the runs would all have to count and be recorded as the score of the game. Had the game ended as soon as Glasscock crossed the home plate, you can see what a gross injustice it would have been to Dunlap, as he would have been deprived of the record to which he was justly entitled. Yours, N. E. Young.
