FAIRFIELD,

The baseball game between the Odd
Fellows team and the Clerks combin-
alton team was intensely interesting
from the first inning to the end. The
mastery pitching of both pitchers was
Instrumental in keeping the score
down. The fielding and hitting of AL
len of the Odd Fellows, the tackstop
work of Smith of the same team are
among the features. Ames' and Greg
ory's fielding was fine. The lineups:
Clerks-Richards & Gregory battery;
Nye lib; Horne 2b; Priest, IS; Reed,
3b; Bradbury, RI; Lawry, CT; Cor
don, If.
Odd Fellows-Smith & Ames battery;
Cotton, ID; Allen, 2b; B. Foss, S.; v.
Smith, 81; F. Foss, If; Gibbs, rf;
Files, CT.
McBerh umpired an impartial game.
The Improvement of the Odd Fellows
team is most noticeable and if they do
not bring back the flag at the cham
pionShp game at Pittslield, the cause
will lie that Fittslield has a better
team.
