In the has eball game, last Saturday
at the Newtown Fair Grounds, be
tween the Y. M. G. AS of Waterbur,
worth looking at. First one side would
score and then the other, and so or
throughout, the game being in doubt
until the last man was out. NewtOwr
had three men put out crossing thu
plate, and that fact resulted in theil
defeat by the score Of to 6. Warne
pitched splendid game for Newtown
striking out - men, and allowing Wa
terbury only six hits. With such game
as last Saturdays, the boys deserve bet
ter patronage, and it is hoped larg'
4 L. 1T +
urday, at p. m. sharp, to see Bethe
and Newtown play off their tie.
