Opening of the Season for the Inde-
 pendent League.


 pendent League.
 Out in Rockville tomorrow after- noon there will be two games of base ball that should attract big crowd of fans. The first game, which will start at 2 o'clock, will see the Sco- will Manufacturing Co team and the Waterbury Brass Co.'S nine facing each other. There is a big wager on this game and the employees of both factories will be out in force to root for their fayorites. The second game will start at 4 o'clock and the Benedict 6 Burnham team of this city will tackle the Ansonias. The latter bunch of players are rated pretty high down the Naugatuck val ley and the shop team will have to work hard to win. Both games should be more than interesting.

Chased From Hedge to Hedge by a Big
Pack Of Weasels.
The following extract from an inter
esting book may be of interest to our
friends. 1t is From My Life as an
Angler by William Henderson, puEt
lished in London in 1870.
about this time, while rambling in
the picturesque lane leading from Mer-
rington to WindIestone with two other
boys, an adventure occurred sufficient
" startling to two little fellows from
nine to ten years old. We were busily
engaged in picking wild Strawberries,
which clustered in the hedgerows,
when we saw at about a hundred
yards distance a pack IF at least
twenty weasels running from hedge to
hedge and evidently scenting out foot
steps. 1t flashed upon us that we were
being hunted So, springing over the
nearest hedge, we ran across pasture
field and standing upon the farther
bank, looked back toward our assail-
ants, To our dismay we saw the whole
pack, with noses to ground. steadily
trucking our course The word was
given, Run, rum and off we scam
pered across another field to take up
our position on another hedge. Still
the pursuit was going on. and the crea-
lures were evidently gaining upon us
so with a wild shout we fled to the
4 village, which. happily for us, was moi
far off. ! have frequently heard Of
/ persons being attacked by weasels, but
was never hunted by them on any 9th
er OCCASION
The above must have occurred about
1912, the locality being the north Of
England Forest and Stream.
