Hartford Comfy Base Ball Leagu

Hartford Comfy Base Ball League
With one exception the recently organized
base ball league In Hartford county, was suc-
cessfully started last Saturday according to
the games scheduled. Darlington played at
Aberdeen and until the formers pitcher was
severity injured the game gave evidence OF
being a close and exc iting contest. After
the accident occurred, however, Aberdeen
took long lead winning the game handiiy
by score of 20to 5.
Highland and Delta played an interesting
game at the latter place, the home team win
ming by score Of lot
The FranklinVille team failed to put in Its
appearance on the Bel Air grounds for the
scheduled contest, therefore the locals claim
forfeited game by q score OF 9 too.
Since the formation OF the league, the
manager OF the Highland team has written
that it will not be able to hold its place with
the other teams as the loss Of several players
has placed the club In a disorganized condi-
ton. The strong team from Cambria has
been substituted therefore in Highlands
place and has expressed its willingness to
play the games as laid down In the schedule
for Highland to play. Until suitable time
can be had for the Cambria team to play over
last Saturdays game with Delta, 1t will be
charged with Highlands single defeat.
The league games for this Saturday will be
as follows:
Bel Air at Cambria; Delta at Darlington;
| Aberdeen ut Franklinvile.
