Hughes of the granite works offered the selectmen from POO to 300 loads of granite chips, if they would set their ma chine in his yard and crush them into suitable shape for road work. As the material was all quarried, with no ex- pense to put it in proper shape for the crusher, it would seem like fair offer on the part of Mir Hughes.

 Some friend of the Southport Stars made & few errors in the article in the last BEE con corning their defeat by the Eagles Of Strat- ford. By the official score, seven base hits
 
 who also made 14 errors against 10 by the Eag les. do not know where they obtained the score in the ERE, as they had no one to score for them and even depended on the Eagle scorer to call their men to bat. "So young team" does not apply to the Stars. Their second baseman was at least g years old, it appeared to all spectators and we should say that the average of the age of the team was about l9. Eagles had two catchers playing both under Is and the average age of the team was about or under F. Pennys "tremen- dous strike tar over the left fielder's headG' was hit to right field, short distance from first base and was lost in the brush. The hit, with a clear field, might have been worth one base, perhaps. The Eagles, being used to diff hcult curve pitching, were astonished at Chm mings straight delivery. There were but II innings to the game. Cummings struck out Eagles, six,-a small difference. One base on as stated. Wheeler's throwing to bases was feature of the game, as eight men out on bases shows. Two double plays were mades by the Eagles, none by the Stars. When re- porting game in future, the Stars should fol- low the score more closely. Their boosting on the field before the game did not sound like the piece in which they "crawled out of the hole" The return game will be played at Stratford by request of the Southportsnext Saturday. will send you the official score of the game immediately after. The score ot this gamewas kept impartially possi ble; in fact, score cannot be kept otherwise, as every point scored to one man is taken from some one else. Sterling H. Bunnell official scorer of Eagle athletic club.
