Norwich, May 25.-New Haven could not have possibly taken the game from Norwich yesterday out side of enbezzlement or grand lar eeny. The score was to in favor of the home team and from the man ner in which the Norwich players pelted Romer. the score should have been even larger. Some of the Brownies used bats with holes in them and others on the team used bats too short. The way the New Haven players swung in the air and srunted in their fruitless attempts to hit the curves tossed over the plate by Plank was a caution. They could not have hit Plank with a plank and that was all there was to ft. The score

of the Industrial department of Morris
Brown college at Atlanta, Ga. Mr.. Gar

and is again demonstrating its strength
in the north il is all the more urgent that
no countenance be given to this hateful
