A pleasant if one-sided game of base ball
was played on the home grounds Wednesday
afternoon against the Rutland team and
resulted in a victory for Chester with score
of l7-0. The score would have been much
larger on Chester side had the boys not
grown tired of running bases and played in
an easy way when at the bat. 1t was a
decided shut-out for Rutland that was much
enjoyed by the home team. In Rutlands
account of the game afterward it was said
they played on grounds little better than a
COW pasture. This COW pasture however did
not prevent the excellent work done by the
Chesters whose men without exception
played star game. One feature of the game
was the home run made by Richardson.
Corrveau did excellent work in the box.
The return game was played at Rutland fair
ground oval Friday afternoon.
