 Canaan Wins
 The game of ball between the Canaan and Winsted Y. M. O. A. teams here Saturday was an interesting and excit- ing contest resulting in a score of to 2 in favor of Canaan. The features of the game were Thompson's three base hit and home run and Merriman's three base hit with two men on bases. Casey of Winsted also made a three bagger. Considering that the Canaan team had absolutely no practice together before the game, their playing was deserving of the complimentary mention 1t elicated on all sides.
