Played Saturday
Willimantic distinguished itself by
winning game Saturday, and not
only that, but it was Manchester that
was beaten. Willimantics manager
had done little foraging before the
game, necessitated by the departure
OF the home players for more lucrative
fields and his aggregation had a lot of
ex-leaguers in it, Bristol and Rock
vile played at Bristol and the home
team went to pieces. The Andems
kept up their winning streak by doing
up the nine from Southbridge, Mass.
The scores of the games follow:
