On Thursday of last week the New town ball team went to New Milford as scheduled and played the New Mill ford team, who are playing, this year, under the auspices of the FOresters. The result was an overwhelming vic- tory for Newtown by score of p to 2. Newtown's battery work was superb, Nichols striking out 13 men in seven innings and DOnnelly two men in two innings; only four base hits were made of of Nichols in the seven innings he pitched, while NewtOwn made l6 hits with total of B during the game. Schielke, in left field, made some star running catches. Both Reilly and Chessman, the New Milford pitchers, were batted hard throughout the game.
 On last Saturday, the game that in- terested all lovers of baseball was the one played at the Newtown Fair Grounds between Woodbury and New town. Such rivalry existed between those two teams that red hot game was predicted and truly red hot game it proved to be. In order to in- Sure fair play, Dr Gordon, manager of the NewtOwns, secured the services of the game and d better umpire never offlciated on the local grounds. There were a great number of very close de- cisions and the general verdict was that he was fair and impartial in all of them; both teams were well satis- fled with his work. Haugh and Mich l ols were the battery for the home team, with Warner, Donnelly and Cos tellO on bases, Wright at short stop and Schielke, Lynch, Keating and Boucher in the out field, during the game, and Curtis Glover as first substi- tute. Holmes and Hall were the bat, Allen on the bases, Lindsey short stop the outtield. Woodbury outbatted l and outfielded NewtOwn, Newtown' $ outtie]d making some costly errors, but her infield played better ball than
 Woodbury's intield; DOnnelly and Cos tellO played a star game at 2d and 3d bases, while Nichols and Haugh worked like machinery. Holmes of Wood bury pitched the game of his life, striking out nine men, but it was of no merits by the score of to- 3. There crowd present to see the game, fully $50 people being on the grounds. Ex- citement ran high at times and it is rumored that many bets made on Woodbury were lost by the Woodbury supporters. A large number would like to see another game arranged be- tween those teams, but the manage ment is not sure as it can be done at
 the present time, but will know later

It was pitiful, to say the least, to hear of the disappointed hopes. And then that menu was full of surprises and disappointments, as the orders from it showed.
