Was an Exciting Ball Game Mnny Brill
 liant Plays-The Scoro-Firemen's Picnic
 Death of Mrs. Charles Logan-Company
 K or for Camp Bicycle Riding Feat.
 The first game of the league cham pionship series between the Walling- lords and the Meriden T. A. B. teams took place Saturday afternoon on the Walllngford's new grounds on the south plains, The game was the most exciting and best exhibition of ball playing ever seen nthis town and was played in the shortest space of time as it was Just one and a half hours from the time the game was called to It's finish. The playing of both teams was nearly perfect, and what few errors were made were eXcusable ones. The battery work of Casey and Gardner of the local team was great and the visi- tors were unable to get in but four hits, and three of these were quite early in the game as but one safe hit was made after the fourth inning. Dix and Doran, Meriden's battery, did good work and kept the hits well scat tered, although in the eighth inning De- Mills, after two men were out, got in a safe hit, which was followed by safe hits by George Gardner and Rundle,on which DeMtlls scored an earned run. The game abounded in brilliant plays, and not fly ball came into the field that was not caught The Walllng- ford flelders had very little work to do, as but one fly ball was knocked into the field and that was captured by George Gardner, back of second base The score below gives the particulars:

Why He Became an A1nostic.

A japanese gentleman. VINO now hoids
the position of chemist in an iron and steel
foundry just outside of the city. has had
his religious convictions sadly shattered
since his sojourn In this country. He was
converted to Christianity in Japan through
the efforts of an enthusiastic Presbyterian
missionary there. and because the mission
ary wore a silk hat the faithful japanese
supposed that silk hat was always an adj
junct of Christianity. When the steamer
which brought him to America reached
San Francisco it was boarded by man in
a silk hat, who swore continuously. In most
shocking style. Such language from a man
who was certainly a Christian because he
wore a silk hat upset the Orientars belief.
and he shortly lapsed into sgnost'cism.
