The Eagles were watching all last Sat

base ball team, but it failed to material
ize. The South Willingtons propose to
clean up the fair grounds when they come
again, using the local team to sweep with.
1t was hoped that the game would come
off Saturday, as there is nothing the Ea.
giles enjoy quite so much as sweeping the
dust off the bases as they slide around
making tallies. The reason the South
