Cobb and Hurley of the Staffordl
played with Palmer Saturday agains
Indian Orchard. The former made
two two-baggers and a single, anG
won much praise for his snappy worl
at third.
Quite a number from here went tC
Monson last Saturday to see the game
between the tsam representing that
town and the South Manchesters. Col.
Inns was in the box for South Man
chester and held the Monsons down
to three hits.
The Staffords were defeated at Rock
Vile last Thursday 10 to g. It was
an unfortunate day for Stafford, and
with the average luck the game would
not have been SO one-sided as the num-
Der Of runs indicate. Stafford's five
errors we're very disastrous, as they
occurred at times when they counted
much for Rockville. Eight hits were
secured off from Biggans, Rockville Is
fast twirler, only two less than was
secured off Cobb. Cobb pitched a
wilder game than usual. In the fifth
inning Reynolds was struck on the end
of a lame finger by foul tip and re-
ceived a painful wound and was
obliged to retire to the bench. A
number of shifts were made in the
team. Gebhardt was secured to take
Reynolds place. While he was don
ming a uniform McClelland caught.
Smith played his usual strong game,
and started the game with three
bagger on the first ball pitched. Hur-
ley was unable to play and Bailey of
the Monsons played in left garden,
and contrary to his usual custom
dropped a fly. The Rockville papers
state that the Staffords we're strength
ened for this game. This was not So
A number of changes have been made
in the Staffords, as we'll as the Rock
villes, since the first Rockville game.
With the exception of Bailey the team
was the same as played with the Pal
mers in the previous game. Stafford
does not expect to beat Rockville, but
when its team has fair amount of
baseball luck we think it can make a
much better showing than it did last
