The Windsor and Woodstock
High school foot ball teams will
play on Vail field this Saturday
afternoon, the first game of the sea-
son.
What was probably the final base
ball game of the season on Vail field
was play Cd last Saturday afternoon
between the Bridgewater and Wood
stock teams-alI strictly home talent.
The day was too cold for comfort,
hut with Il little sunshine and the
uninterrupted chin music from a
bunch OF local rooters the players
were warmed up t" the top notch.
All played to win-the ump'res
PLAYED ball, too-and until the final
SC Ore was chalked down the game
was in doubt. Woodstock won, IS
to IS. For some reason or other
there was more enthusiasm and
more "hollering" Saturday than at
any game played here this season.
Tie local crowd turned loose and
whouped it up for their team and
helped to win, though not emitting
a little applause tor the visitors.
There should I've more of this sort of
thing. 1t means good ball PLAYING
Nv local teams. Without it there's
1t much encouragement to play.
