This friday afternoon a team com
posed of six members of Wantastiquet
golf club journey TO Pine Grove Springs

place. The local team has been prac'
iicing diligently for the past few weeks
and has the firm intention TO pluck the

by Adams.
Fred II. Harris, whose work this year
has stamped him the best golfer in
town, made new record for the six
hole course at the Wantastiquet golf
club Saturday afternoon. With poor
start he made the first hole in five and
then scored tours on the second and
third, missing a putt for three on
the latter. On the fourth-the long
hole of the course--he got five, and
finished with three on the fifth and
two on the sixth, thus doing the
course in 90 strokes, one less than 1t
has ever been made before.
In the eighth inning of Saturdays
game between Keene and the Athletics
Carl Ellis made the cleverest stop seen
on the local diamond in many day.
With Cameron on first Callahan put out
a grass-cutter which looked like a clean
hit between short and third. Ellis
started for the ball like shot, squeezed
il in his right hand, turned complete
backward somersault and found his feet |
in time to nail Cameron at second by an
accurate throw to Brasor. 1t was Ger,
tainly neat piece of work ana
Rusty deserved the ovation the
crowd gave him.
There is a probability that the dia.
mond and grandstand on the island Will
have to be moved in short time on ae-
count of the recent division in the own
ership of the property on which they
are situated. The south end of the
prandstand and a portion of right held
are not included in the tract which +.
c.. Gale has leased TO George +. Fox
but are situated on land owned by r.
d. Fiske and now under lease to Mr..
Gale. The latter is anxious to have all
the ball field on the land leased to Mr..
Fox. and within a short time steps VIII
be taken toward these changes.
