Alstead and Bellows Falls played
their first game of the season on Drews-
vile common Saturday afternoon, May
4th. The game abounded in errors as
many of the players had hardly seen
ball this season. From the past record
of the two teams, when in practice they
can put up a much better game and it
is hoped that later on in the season the
teams may meet again. Prof. Chaplin
started in to pitch for Bellows Falls but
being handicapped by a lame arm, in
the 4th inning he retired in favor of
Booth, who though out of practice,
showed at once that he was no stranger
to the pitchers box. Shepard pitched
the whole game for Alstead but not by
any means in the form he will show
later in the season., In Bacon Bellows
Falls has fine little catcher While the
back stop work of F. Webster through
a season is hard to beat. The star play
of the game was Dickey's attempt to
butt down big maple in his way.
