Base Ball.

Hebron defeated Norway Saturday
afternoon by a score of . to 1 in close
game. Although Norway out-batted
Hebron, the latter team played a better
fielding game and won.
The battery for Hebron was Cannon
and GOss of Edward Little High School,
while Cole and Vandette were the bat
tery for Norway. Both pitchers did
good work and had excellent control,
each giving but one base on balls during
the game. In the matter of strike-outs
Cole was far in the lead as he struck
out seven men To GammOn'S two.
Although Norway did not have much
trouble in hitting the ball, it was hard
for them to hit safe. They were able
to secure eight base hits and one two
Dagger, while Hebron made eight
singles.
Norway started the scoring in the first
inning by making two runs, Hebron
was blanked until the fourth, when they
made one score on two errors by the
Norway team They added one more in
the sixth and another in the seventh
while they succeeded in getting two
men across the plate in the oth. Hebron
gave up their turn at the bat in the first
of the ninth inning in order to shorten
the game to allow three of their men to
catch the train. Norway was shut out
every inning from the first until the
ninth, when they made good try for
the game, scoring two runs with but one
man out and having runners on second
and third: the next two men at the bat,
however, were easy outs and Norway
was unable To get the run which they
needed To tie the score. There were nc
features in the game unless the batting
of Cole should be metioned, as he secur'
ed two nice singles and twO-base hit
this being the best batting that was
done by any member of either team.

size of a Maine farmers stable, corr

did not see two-stOry farm house, OF

of our party who had srent some time In
that part of the country expressed 1t,

section makes me more than ever well
satisfied with New England.
Arriving in st. Louis at 3 p. NJ, we
left the train at the union station, which
is the largest in the world and is one OF
the sights of the city, and made our
way by street cars to the Inside Inn, on
the worlds fair grounds.
Here we remained for week, taking
in the fair. Most of the party made a
longer trip of it, remaining another day
at the fair and then going to Chicago
and putting in day there. Two OF us,
leaving st. Louis Thursday night, came
home by the same route over which we
went. Starting at that hour, we came
by daylight through most of the coun-
try which we passed in the night on the
outward trip, and thus had change OF
scenery. arrived at South Paris Sat-
urday evening, having been less than
forty-nine hours on the trip, and If we
had not missed one connection by an
hour, should have been at home seven
hours earlier.
OF the fair itself something will be
said in later letters.
