HAD A CLAM BAKE.
Wellington Rifles Go to Jordan Pond for
DAYS Outing.

The veterans of the wellington
Rifles had gay time of it at Jordan
pond yesterday with clam bake and a
set of sports which consisted of base
ball game, foot race and other athletic
pastimes. The veterans were aided in
their endeavor to remember the day by
the active members of the company and
members of the honorary corps.
The boys arrived at the grove all
throughout the forenoon and afternoon.
The first squad got there at 9 o'clock
| under command of Lieut.. H. G. Young,
and they at once set about making a
day of it. In the forenoon scrub game
of base ball was played that resulted
disastrously for the team captained by
Sergt. Fred B. Jordan. At 2 o'clock din
ner was served by Caterer G. S. Yeaw,
and the boys sat down to an elaborate
menu that consisted of CLAIMS, mack
erel, bluefish, sausage, lobster, fish
balls and fruit. The boys held an in
| formal smoke talk after the dinner, and
stories were told by Sergt. Allie Love
of his ability to play championship ball.
| Sergt. Fred B. Jordan, despite his de-
feat of the forenoon. was still of the
| opinion that he could get UP team
| of ball tossers, the Worcesters except
ed, and he promptly took exceptions to
| Sergt Loves boast that he had the
| best team.
Sides were chosen and the boys all
adjourned to the diamond. Sergt. Love
won the toss and went to bat first. His
team scored one before the umpire
called his side out. Sergt. Jordan's team
then went to bat and soon pounded out
IN i. IL
scored, owing principally to the UNI
pires decisions, which were the cause
of many remarks. The first of the
fourth inning was fatal one for Sergt
Jordan's team, for Sergt. Loves colts
lit upon the ball with a vengeance, and
batted the ball all over the lot, scoring
II runs, much to the discontinue of the
opposing team. This gave them win
ming lead, which the team captained by
'Sergt. Jordan had considerable trouble
in overcoming, but they succeeded in
inning. With only two men out, it was
mutually agreed by both sides to call
the game off and divide the prize,
which was done.
Those who composed Sergt. Loves
team were: Allie Preble, c.; H. 7.

After the game the majority OF the
boys went home on the Marlboro cleo
tries. While waiting for car, A. G.
Brown gave an exhibition of climbing
down into a 20-foot well by the road
side. He went down and up without a
