Radcliffe defeated Bryant's Pond Sat
urday afternoon in well played game
by the same score that it won its last
game from them. Pierce, the new
pitcher, did fine work, holding Bryant's
Pond to three hits, one of which came
after Radcliffe had had an opportunity
to retire the opposing side. Bryant's
Pond scored their two runs in the first
inning and were never dangerous after
that.
Foshey, another new man, caught a
nice game, did not allow stolen base
and made three hits out Of four times

w. Leonard, the other new man, ac-
cepted his only fielding chance but was
weak at the bat.
Radcliffe hit j. Farnum harder than
in the previous game, and by punching
their hits earned three of their FIVE runs.
The playing of Cole, both at the bat
and in the field, was fast and clean, and
he is fast becoming great favorite with

ton. and an abstract of association sta.

and portraits of the editor and num-
her of prominent past officers OF the
association. in all It contains about zoe
pages, and ia q valuable history OF the

MODEST CLAIMS OFTEN CARRY
THE MOST CONVICTION.

When Maxim, the famous gun in.
ventor, placed his gun before a com,
mittee of judges, he stated its carrying
power to be much below what he felt
sure the gun would accomplish. The
result of the trial was therefore great
surprise, instead of disappointment.
1t is the same with the manufacturers OF
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar.
rhea Remedy. They do not publicly
boast Of all this remedy will accomplish,
but prefer to let the users make the
statements. What they do claim, is that
it will positively cure diarrhea, dyson
terry, pains in the stomach and bowels
and has never been known to fail. For
