Last week we had an item about the fast
riding done by the station agent, which he said
was too far fetched, and which he will prob
ably deny i'll the Ne,os this week. How
ever, when he repeated the experiment on
I Monday he concluded that it was he who was
/ too far fetched instead of the item, and had
| he not been lucky in the truest sense he would
not have lived to read his. As it happened no
serious damage was done to the wheel, the
rider, Clyde Farrar, whom he knocked
over. Bicycle coasting on sidewalks is unlaw-
full as well as dangerous, and hath its perils
even to station agents.
| When the Moretown nine came down here
with its selected material from all parts of the
| universe, and found that most of the Middlesex

| selves in the victory they captured from the
substitutes who did play, but when we accept
| ed their urgent invitation to go to Moretown
and to afford them another opportunity for
reputation as local champions, and did go with
straight Middlesex team, quite forcibly sup
| ported by the nice left handed twirler Mike
Streeter of West Boston, things took diff
| ferent turn Scores ran low and whitewashes
were in order for the Moretowns. AT the end
of the fifth inning the score stood IS to 4
awarded the game to Middlesex. Verify the
Moretowns are not in it. They can kick all
right but they don't play ball.
