 While the writer is nothing if not a baseball enthusiast, to mention each week the games of the local nine, seems to get as monotonous as to chronicle each week the latest candi- date for the vacant pulpit. But it seems this an error, and that the boys of the local nine have watched THE BEE after each game for record of their prowess, only to be disappointed. Perhaps this would not have been the case, had they not been doing such ex- tremely good work, and because of this and to satisfy their thirst for fame, it is we'll to mention that out of the eight games played so far this sea- son, seven have been decided in favor of the local nine. Saturday, May 27, in a game played at Lakeville, the score stood to 5. On Memorial day, they played at Falls Village, bringing home score of 8 to ', and the same after noon they played the Foster school team on the local diamond, resulting in a score of 13 to 8 and last Saturday the Bantam team went home defeat ed by a score of to 5. The only game lost was to a picked nine from Torring- ton.
