The Windsor Locks team of the minor
league made it's appearance here or
Saturday afternoon and played its first
game with the Wallingfords and were
ANONYMOUSLY defeated by the score of
was too one sided to be interesting.
There was fair sized attendance, but
many tired of the one sided game and
left before the game was finished. The
battery work Of Brace and Gardner
was first-class and Ted surprised HIM
self and friends by his record at the
bat, being credited with four safe hits.
| Brennan at third base did good work
and he is the right man in the right
place. Wallace at short did good work
and made a fine showing at the bat, as
| in fact did most of the home players.
SockaleXis, the Indian, who has been
advertised as drawing card, failed to
materialize, and 1t was said that he had
gone into the New York State league.

The condition Of Center street, from
r. Wallace & Sons to Simpson, Hall,
Miller & Co.s-in fact, the entire length
through the business part of the Dor
ough-is terrible for the principal street
of the borough, and as yet there has
been no attempt made to improve It's
condition, but it is rumored that there
will, at an early date, be a move made
towards putting it in condition, after
Whittlesey avenue, where four of the
board of burgesses reside, is put in
first-class shape with it's macadam
road, An attempt has been made to fix
up Colony street and quantities of loose
stone of all sizes have been scattered
along In places and left to be worn
down by the few teams that pass over
1t in the outer sections instead Of put
ting on the road roller and putting the
stones and road into decent shape. The
condition of the road from Ward street
to the foot Of the higgins hill Is very
bad for the use of the thousands of
wheelmen who pass over it every week,
and hundreds of tires have been cut and
many ruined by the sharp stones that
have been scattered over the field with
out being rolled down, as 1t was prom
Used they would be. At least fifty bicy-
cles pass over the street at that section
where there is one team, and it will
take all summer before the stones are |
crushed down enough SO as to be fit for
decent wheeling.
