pink. She said it was ordinary
Nina's gowns were all in pastel tints
Also. the figure wore large sunbon-
net. Nina said that sunbonnets were
ordinary, too, and topped her own
pretty blonde curls with an airy cre-
alton In chiffon and tea roses
Therefore, taking these points into
consideration, Sheldon waved his cap
In comrade fashion at the figure, and
started for the pier.

THE NAUGATUCKs KICKED.

Milford. July 25.-The Naugatuck fire department baseball team was de- feated by the Milford team in Milford Saturday afternoon by the score of 2 to 1. The Nauga tucks claim they were robbed of the game by Baldwin, the home umpire. His decisions were said to be the rankest ever seen on the grounds and after he retired in the fourth inning. Platt took his place. His work was big improvement over Baldwin. The game was close and exciting The Milfords scored one run in the first inning on a wild throw by Grant, and another in the fifth on a wild throw by M. Sweeney and hit to right field by Rose. In the fifth D. Sweeney hit for two bases and went to third on wild pitch, Ash more hit to second and Sweeney slid in to home, He was safe, but Bald win called him out. Tn the ninth with two out Crotty reached first and scored on D. Sweeney's two-base hit to left. Sweeney was put out trying to reach third. The Naugatucks played a star fielding game.

THREE HUNDRED CLASS.
The Game of Trying to Head off Pop
 Foster Grows Intere sting.

Ten men have been tearing off safe ties often enough to be rated with the 300 men in the league. The game of heading off Pop Foster is getting more popular each week and the chase is brisker.
 Gene Tansey, the little Pony, has batted for, .337, and has cut in ahead of Captain CroliIs of Norwich in act ing as runnerup to tho league. Al though Tansey has played in but 26 games, he has been an almost daily collector of swats, steadiness being q strong point with the midget. A pitcher in a size-up of Tansey's bat ting ability accounted for some of it by declaring that when Gene came to bat he didn't look much bigger than q wart
 Crolius is only .OO1 behind Tansey and Foster is reachable, but hard plugging with no letup will be neees- sary to overhaul Bridgeport's great bingler. His average of .365 was at tained in 66 games in which he hit safely 100 times, Foster is the first player in the league to reach the san- .tury mark in hits. Roy Clark, the Holyoke boy, who has been leading runmaker for the league leaders this season, Is nearest HOSIer III numDef or safeties made Clark has rounded up 90, and Crclius of Norwich S6. Frank Burke of Meriden, one of the surest safety makers in the circuit, is in fifth place with .32O, and he has total of ST clouts. Many of his iahs have been extra base getters, too. so the worth of Burke to Merlden is so great that he is counted indispensable.
 Frank Murphy of Norwich, who was active in the race for many weeks in the early season, has now taken a humble position in the ranks Of the sWatsmen. Murphy's batting brings him to the 1905 notch, and he is eighth in the honor list. Heine Batch is in the ranks again. Bridge port has lost Hi Ladd and4 Jim O'Rourke Ladd had one of the poor est weeks of the season, getting only three hits in 23 chances. MT O'Rourke found 1t impossible to follow the pace adopted in the previous week. but ho is in a position from which he can readily bound Into the 300 class.
 Bridgeport has two of the 10 zoo hitters; Meriden, the club at the oth- CT end of the league standing, also has a pair. Norwich is represented by three and Holyoke, New London and Springfield by one each.
