Labor day here was very quiet one.
The town was nearly deserted in the after
noon. Every north bound train in the
morning took away crowd. Most Of the
factories were closed. Simpson, Hall, Miller |
& Co.'s works started up as usual in the
morning, but the number of employees was
small, and before 10 o'clock word was sent
around the factory that the works would
close at noon.
Not enough Of the gun club showed up
on the grounds to have any regular shoot,
and the few present INDUCED in q little
practice. The crowd that gathered to see
the ball game was not large one. A
portion of the New Britain team
came down on the 1:47 train
and the game was called at 8 O'Clock, but
1t proved too one-sidsd to be interesting.
Eight innings were played with the score
standing 10 to 0 in favor of the Walling-
fords. The belated players from New
Britain arrived on the 4:30 train and
another game was started and was called
after five innings were played, the score
standing IL to 0 in favor of Wallingford.
Clune proved terror to the visitors, who
made but three hits in the thirteen innings
and twenty-seven went out on three strikes.
Ted Gardner was catching for Clune and
made fine record and done some heavy
hitting at the bat. Not one Of
the visitors reached third base, while
+ the home team had no difficulty
in biting the, ball and scoring runs.
This will probably be the last game of the
season here, as Clune and Sheehan will re-
turn to Allegheny college. Clune states
| that he intends to give up ball playing en-
tirely, as he is afraid of permanently in
| juring his arm from the strain. His record
| as pitcher is the best of any that have
| ever played with the Wallingford team.
Sam BOSNIAN was fishing at the north
end of the lake yesterday when he saw
three coons swimming away from one of
| the large islands and at once put chase
after the game in a boat. His dog was
first to tackle one of the swim
mers, which turned and made q
fight and nearly drowned the
dog before Sam reached the scene
| of action and came to the CANNES rescue.
| After lively attack with an oar BOSNIAN

the two smaller ones that escaped on the
island before morning.
