Woodstock Beats Ludlow

After a defeat or two az bracing
tonic the Woodstock team is getting
together again and last Saturday
took Cy Young and the Ludlowites
into camp, 1t was the first local
victory and for seven innings was an
even hard-fought game; then Mr..
Howes' men landed on Cy Young in
the good old-fashioned way and in
two or three biffs Ludlow was out of
it.
Possibly center fielder Bill Shaw's
star catch had good deal to do with
keeping the visitors score down. G.
Rock started the ball we'll on the
way towards South Woodstock,
probably figuring on home run as
a souvenir of the occasion, but Bill
used his speed and headed it off.
Another factor in Woodstock's
victory was good battery work.
Pugsley, the now pitcher, with a
"crossfre" delivery and other de-
structive Illusions, came fully up to
expectations, and he also baCted his
way into the favor of the rooters.
There was some shifting of play
ers, Kelly going to second base,
Fitzmorris to left field and Russell
to short. The change worked well,
Davis, Kelley, Russell and Dumas
making a pretty strong infeld.
Hayden caught finely and for
the first time was able to show his
sprinting abilities.

are affected by dances in Los Angeles.
Yesterday only two of the three
members of the legislative committee

was decided to leave action concern

without recommendation. Differences
exist over the minor details. At that
