worth witnessing for there are, so II Is
said. about three men on each side that
could, when they were boys. play ball and
think tina, they can do so at this late
day.
Those who are NAL king the arrange
ments for the contest have purchased
one dozen balls, but no one seems TO know
why, for those who know the players best
say that. unless the grass on the lawn IL
high. there will not be the least danger In

FIVE STRAIGHT.
The nino farmers, who came from Wick

Oineyville team were looked upon by the
Oineyvilleans as an easy mark and many
OF them pinned their faith TO the local
club 10 that extent that they were willing
Ito let suit OF clothes TO a straw hat.
Many bets were made but most OF the
amounts went out OF the village and this
caused no end OF chewing the rag.
Taylor OF the Now England League was
imported from Concord and, those who
were financially interested In the game
and had taken the Olneyville end. would
have been exceedingly glad II ne had lost
his way to this place. This makes just
five times that the South County lads
have come TO Oneyvile and dragged out

tendance OF 300.
The Mnfords have been secured for the
game aext Saturday.

Of the fact that Mr.. Pike, who resides
over the store which was on fire. and was
in feeble health, FASTENED TO arouse the
family and he assisted In getting Mr.. Pike
ready for removal 10 safer place. The
fremen were on hand SO quickly that all

The building from basement to attic was
filled with smoke and the prompt arrival
