BETHEL.

Last Saturdays base ball game
would have been called good one
but for the memory of the superb
game of the week before. 1t was
considerably weakened Bethel team
that faced Randolph, only five of
the players in the game with Wood.
stock being available. The substi-
tutes had had almost no practice,
and when two or three of them APP
pcarcd in the cumbrous clothing of
every day the management came in
for some criticism. Not much had
been expected of Randolph. hence
the carelessness Of the Bethels in
preparing for the game. After all
criticisms have been made 1t must
be conceded that game IN which
the total of runs was only five and
the total of base hits only six, must
have been played by men who knew
a good deal about base ball. The
pitching of Clark for Randolph was
surprisingly effective and the Bethel
batsmen seldom drove the ball be-
yond the infeld. Dutton, Bethel's
juvenile farmer pitcher, did nearly
as we'll and had rather better control.
His arm tired toward the end and
McIntire pitched three innings quite
creditably, Button going to first and
Bradbury behind the bat. On the
whole the days best work was done
by ellison and Lamb for Bethel,
their performance ut second and
third being as good as possible; and
bv Moulton and Newton for Ran

the former was poor The score by
