Thc Acmes Have Little Fun With a Team
 of Boys from New Britain

The Acmes Have n Little Fun With a Team
 of Boys from New Britain.
 Nine youths calling themselves ball players came over from New Britain yes- terdny with Manager T. B. Sheehan. They returned last evening with sad recolIcc tions of the ball game. The Acmes simnlv toyed with them. Right here let it be said that the people who patronizc the games don't like this manner of ball plav- ing. There was not life enough in the game to keep one awake. Coughlnn. the new third bascman, made his first aphrur- ance, but did not impress the spectators with any degree of favor. Carr hatted bet ter than in his other game. and he prob ably will be a success Little Murphy was the general favorite, and he deserves tu be. as he k d corking good ball player
 William Fox ought to be left on third base His place cannot be filled. and if Coughlan ls to be permanent it looks like a poor change. O'Ncill should be fined or lt,- turcd. There k nU reason for careless playing on his part. Denny k a good f,l- low. but too many friends have ruined many a ball player. There was doubt in | many persons minds whether Bowers Was 1 fooling or not. He was hit hard and there k scarcely any credit in letting boy, pound him. even if the game k won. Brennan caught we'll. and k also favoritc with the l people. Old reliable klohcdanZ always ha< that smile of his, and trits to put life into the team. Many would like to ~,, Jim 1 Fox on first. or back in his old position ut catcher He k out of plac, in right field. l It k the general opinion al>o that the team, If they represent the. Acmt.~ should wear the Acme uniform. If Manager Dur. i ant will place the men m one position and 1 let them remain there. then the rootcrs | will be given chance to shout. Follow ! lnG.lS the score:
