BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM.

Great was the disappointment on Saturday because the rain prevented the ball game between our boys and the Burlington nine.
 The hottest and best game ever played on Lime Rock diamond was the fierce struggle between the Hotchkiss and the home teams. Sixteen innings finished the game with a score of 3 to ? in favor of Lime Rock. It was great ball and for once Hotchkiss met it's equal. The boys from the school are a nice lot of fellows and it took the Yale second team, the Alumni team and the Lime Rocks to give them their medicine. These are their only defeats this year.
