Millbury, July 11.-Base ball and am
ateur base ball is the only thing for
Millbury, and it seems from the way
things are going, a crack-ajack team
will be put on the diamond from this
| town. Several weeks ago Mr.. Nor
cross of Grafton was here to see about
team being formed in this town.
| No one was willing to manage it, and
the project fell through. But tonight
several of the base ball cranks came
| together and talked matters over and
the result will probably be a ball
team.
There are several good players in
town, and those that have been seen
| will play, and will be glad to see a good
team represent Millbury on the dia-
mond.
The All Millburys have a game ar
ranged with the Graftons on Hassami-
nfsco park on Saturday, July Is. In this
game set of the best men in Millbury
will be put on the diamond, and a hot
game is expected
| Uxbridge, Whitins and the Rockdales
and Fishers have been seen in regard
to a south county league, with Mill
bury and Grafton, and all have express
ed themselves willing to enter such a
| combination.
A league such as that proposed would
be good drawing card for ball games,
| and the result would be beneficial to
! both ball players and to the people of
the towns the teams represent. Louis
Farney will probably be at the head
of the Millbury team.
