Mt East Greenwich.
The Pawtucket High School baseball
club journeyed to East Greenwich on
Saturday to play their first game OF the
season with the Academy team of that
place. The team was weakened by the alb
sence of many of the regular members Of
the team, who owing to the weather did
not think the game would be played.
There is also understood to be some dis
satisfaction with the makeup of the team.
Be as 1t may the team that played at East
Greenwich on Saturday was weak at eev-
eral points. The Academy boys were also
loose in their fielding, but their errors
were not taken of by the visitors. The
first inning was fairly well contested, but
the remainder of the game was unintere,t-
ing.
