The last home game of ball this
season will be played with Ware on
the local grounds Saturday. Two
games have been played with Ware
this season, and each team has won. |
The game Saturday should prove in
teresting. Next Monday, Labor day,
Stafford will play Ware in the fore
noon at Ware, and will try conclu- |
sions ON the Monson grounds. in the
afternoon with their old time rivals. |
Labor day, if pleasant, ought to prove
a profitable day for the local organi-

served in Massachusetts, and there is |
bound to be big crowds at the two
games. .-..

signed by Stafford for the rest of the
season, pitched q fair game, but was
not equal TO the occasion when his |
best work was needed. With two
