Benash's Nickel Pickers" and Cahill's
'Hasbeensandwouldbe met on the
Merino flats yesterday afternoon, and the
| former team found 1t no trouble TO clean
| up the latter to the tune OF 1871.
The teams were made up as follows:
Benash's team-Ouimette. c.; Thorpe, 2b.;
Dalton. $. s.: j. Cunningham. 3b.; Sher-
man. 1b.: Catterson. !. E.; Tenant, m;
z +. Cunningham. r. f.; Horton. p.
Cahlrs team-Cahill, D.; Murphy, 3D.;
Fogarty, lb; Desow. sb.; Coughlin. S. s.;
Rioux. M; Milligan, l. e.; Pecoe, r. f.;
Smith, c.
The Cahiii combination is known 10
some as Clerks club. No. 2, No. l going
under the title OF Heffernan's Ham
bergers and the latter. at least. consider
themselves the best team OF the two, but
Benash and his tribe stand ready to play
the pick of both teams. AS "Hen' has
challenged. the Pickers will consider the
same on one OF their layoffs. and II Is
possible that another game will be ar
| ranged for next week.
There is no doubt but Pecoe. the cham
pion Esq Flopper'' OF olneyville. made
the star play OF the game. for he made
a nome run and never touched the ball
| This was the first run for the clerks and
was in the third or fourth inning and
he appeared 10 be so ashamed OF his asso-
ciates on the team that he went way
back and sat down in one corner OF the
field by himself.
Fogarty. also a clerk. played with pair
| OF eight-inch white cuffs and collar TO
match and II would be a crime 10 an
nounce the number OF errors that be
made. Murphy, who makes pink pills In
local drug store two evenings week,
evidently came onto the field TO rubber"
instead OF play. for he cut off the collar
OF his sweater so that nothing would
obstruct his view. when Cahill saw
that the wind and the ability OF the
| Pickers was more than he was able 10
overcome. he called upon "Heff' and his
body guard for sympathy mot advice),
and told who he thought was responsible
for all OF the poor playing, but he got
but little consolation from "HeT," for
"Heff' and Jack. one OF his body
guards. had ideas under their baseball
headgear that they should have been
coaxed into playing with the clerks.
HER" wanted the clerks 10 win for
Just one reason, and that vvse because he
bet silver plated spoon against a bunch
OF lilacs with Russell. who will bet any
part of a quarter on the Pickers at any
time.
Rioux was something OF a disappoint-
ment TO Cahill for he was at one times
a member OF the Fall River club. and
he was looked upon to win the game for
the clerks. but didn't Cunningham OF
the Pickers did not seem 10 think that
he was playing ball at all. for he smoked
his IT. d" all through the game
Sherman OF the Pickers showed that he
was a ball player, as did Tenant. and in
fact all OF the railroad men played a good
stiff game. and some OF the clerks knew
thing about the game. but there were
not enough Of the some"
Pop Chapman did satisfactory work
as umpire.
The score was i2-7 in favor OF the

Mr.. Charles Fraaey. who for long
time has been in charge OF the spooling
department OF the Riverside mills. severed
| his connections with the concern last eve-

this morning left for Canada where he
has been offered a position that he thinks
! Is better.
Few men In this large and prosperous

Mr.. Frafey. and just as the mill stopped
! for the day he was called TO his desk
| and presented with a solid gold watch as
slight token OF esteem OF the fellow
employees.
