Something dropped
They laid away their suit of red and
donned suit of white - wash
Bishop had lots of chances, but ap.
peared to be in a trance. His poor
playing seemed to jar the whole team.
Better luck next time.
1t is really amusing how some people
support and praise the boys while win
ming and jeer at them if they lose.
Chapman came in for his share of the
blame. He umpired square game and
shows excellent judgment when he only
smiles at those who call him down.
The Lancasters have good team and
they know it. And so do we.
The game next Saturday will be with
the Smugglers of Beebe Plain. This
team always was hoodoo to Island
Pond, but good game may be looked
for. They may smuggle in few tricks

BASE BALL.

Lancasters defeated the Cardinals in
good shape Saturday. Their playing
was excellent, in fact they could not
have put up better game. Cardinals
were not in it from the start as they
could hardly connect with the ball while
at bat. Clough was the only man that
didn't fan out, and he made three pretty
hits. The boys were nearly all of them
way off in dreamland, pitcher included
without question the slowest exhibition
of the game they have put up this year,
We give Lancaster credit for the hard
beating, which We take cheerfully, and
hope to give them better game next
time. The score:
