MEASLES EPIDEMIC CHECKED.

Clinton, Dec. 1O.-Polo is likely to be
a success here if the enthusiasm can
be maintained at the pitch to which it
was raised, last night. Bartlett and
Hipson are a team in themselves. With
one other member of the old Springfield
two. they should be able to make Clin-
ton winner against any team in the
consolidated league.
Schofield, who has played with the
team for long time, will certainly be
retained. He enjoys the affection of the
cranks and Is an honest, faithful play
err although it might be better some
times if he worked more with his head
and less with his feet. Under the tute
lage of such men as Bartlett and Hip
son he is sure to become a fast man.
Bartlett has sore head this morn
ing. He sustained the severest injury he
has every received in the game, last
night. One of the enthusiastic young
men of the Rockland team swung a
stick against his right eye and cut a
cash just below the eyebrow, that is an
inch and a half long and quite deep. He
will suffer from the effects of it for
some time. DR.. P. A. s. Grady took two
gether.
| Rockland has protested the game on
| the ground that Bartlett and Hipson
were in it. 1t is difficult to see how the
| protest can be considered. Under
| league rules a team may borrow play
ers. More than this Bartlett and Hipson
were actually members of the Clinton
team, and as fully entitled to wear the
uniform as any other member.
| T0Y- WnCneSfar oh ni of
the board of health, is convinced that
the spread of measles is checked, or at
| least, that the epidemic will begin it's
decline in two or three days. Only two
| cases were reported today. There are
now so cases in town. Most of them
present the disease in light form. The
board of health is seeing that no pre-
cautions are neglected.
DR.. Worcester was somewhat dis
pleased with sensational article in a
Boston journal which tends to convey
the impression that the town is in an
uproar and that people are scared to
death. DIR. Worcester says there is moth
ing in measles that should keep people
away from here. No more is being done
than would be done under the circum-
stances in Boston.
John H. Lee, chairman of the demo-
cratic city committee of Boston, was
Nawn & Brock, yesterday. Mr.. Lee was
escorted over the water works. He was
also driven over the town. He expressed
surprise at the magnitude of the work
that is being done by the water board
Mr.. Lee and Mr.. Nawn have been
friends for years.

Thomas Graham was i'll last night

icine. He bought rum instead, and the
