An exciting game of ball was played
between the Eagle and Cupheag teams
at Stratford, Wednesday, August ID. The
game was called, on account of darkness,
in the sixth inning. Catcher French
stood in his position, his only remarks
being growls at the pitcher for not
watching his signals more closely. The
features of the game were two remarka-
Bile plays of the Eagles. In the second
inning, Wheeler, after muffing third
strike ball, picked it up and made such a
remarkable feint at throwing to first,
that man on third, having long lead,
came clear up to the catcher and was
caught. Also, in the fifth inning, play
was made which, it is safe to say, few
people have ever seen duplicated. After
a scratch hit and tremendous running,
Russell, the Eagle athletic clubs sprint
err, found himself on third base. A little
hit was made and the ball reached home
just before he did. AS he stopped to
slide, the catcher stopped also and then
he didn't see what happened to Russell
as well as the audience did. Josh"
sailed over the catcher's back and the
shouts of delight from the crowd can be
better imagined than described. AS
French is by no means a short man, Rus
sells jump, from a STOPPING position and
on full run, was something that but
few athletes in training could equal. The
pitching on both sides was excellent, but
the fielding was rather loose. Altogeth-
err, the game was interesting and held
the attention of the spectators until the
end. The score:
Cupheags, 10
Eagles, E-lU
Errors, Cupheags 4, Eagles 8 base hits Cup.
heags 3, Eagles s; home runs, Cupheags by
French; struck out, by Judson 8, by Russell
10; batteries, Cupheags, Judson and French
Eagles, Russell and R.Wheeler; left on bases,
Cupheags 4, Eagles 4; umpire, Aspell.

He said corporations should not be
used to advance the &nterest of this
party or that or to raise up Why one man or pull
down another, and this corporation shall not be
