 2,000 SAW IT.
 About 2,000 persons went to Williams park Saturday afternoon to witness the best 1 game of ball which has been played in this city for years, that between the Stars of Nor | wich and the New London club. The game was hot one throughout, and although the Stars were composed of men who have not ] played much together, they gave the New Londoners terrible beating and the friends of the Stars pocketed the New London mon i ey. McGuinness and Callahan of the Stars l were too much for the two paid professional batteries of the New Kondon club, while ! Bliss seemed to be just where the ball could drop into his hand every time and was there fore a thorn in the flesh of the visitors. Mo- ; Guinness made the only home run in the i game, and did that leisurely while the New i London fielders were hunting around the sol diers' monument for the ball he had batted. The score was II to in favor of the Stars.- Norwich Bulletin.
