 urday.

Anyone interested in seeing A. good l exhibition of baseball has only to mako trip to the Yale field varsity dia- mond this morning at lo:so o'clock and see the high schools clash in A corking good games The teams playing will be the steadily Improving New Haven high school and fast Hartford hines. This game will be the first league game that the local high school nina has participated Into and they will work their hardest to make 1t a yIc- tory. Tho boys under their coach Mir. Hackett and new captain, ,Blakeslee have been practicIng faithfully at the { Westville grounds. This fact had much to do with their well earned victory wednesday over the Pequots one of the fastest amateur teams in the state. This victory Is only fair example of now the boys have been improving. and If they keep up this good pace, their place at the end of the scholastioll baseball season, ought to be at the head of the list.
 The representatives of the Capitol|l high are also strong aggregation.I Their recent victory over the Connect ticut Literary Institute baseball teamll is good proof of this fact. This In-| stitution last year trimmed both Hart-| ford and Springfield hines, but on ac1 count of the good team of Hartford.I| Y were unable to duplicate the trick this year. Sherman. the crack Hartford pitcher had much to do with this vic- tory, as he struck out thirteen menN in this game. Sherman. no doubt will be used against the local high school team. who will certainly have to have their eyes peeled to get onto his bend1 CTS.
