ESTATE LEAGUE.

Stafford went to Ware Saturday and made it sad opening day for the Bi- State league for that town. The band was out to escort the two teams to the ball grounds, and gave a concert be- fore the game to nearly seven hundred Wareites, who were there happy in their expectation of an easy victory for their town team, remembering the two games of the week previous.
 They did not anticipate that the few changes that had been made in the Stafford team would strengthen it suf- fioiently to cause their defeat by score of IA to 6. The band gave another selection after the game, but few heard it, as most of the townspeople were already on their way to their homes, sad in thought, wishing that it was only dream and that they would soon wake up. Stafford's new battery, especially the backstop,
 Brooks, put up good game and re- ceived good support except from Bog
 gio, who was being tried out at third and was found wanting in ability to play with this team. Cy Ferry, @ x-footer, looks like an excellent find for first base and as batter. The first time up he made two bagger, and the next time 8 single. The next four times at bat he was not given a

 In the sixth errors at short and third,
 two-bagger by Kelliher and single

 Waldron both made singles. Conner scored. Connors was struck out with the bases full and two out. Ware added one more in the ninth. Sulli- van sent out safe one and went home on hit by Waldron. The game ended by fine fly catch by Bailey.
