 Tierney Struck Out IA Canaan
 Eaters.
 The old rivals, Canaan and East Ca naan, met on the diamond Saturday and the latter team was victorious, the score being 3 to 0 A wild throw to third base gave the boys from the east one run and the other resulted from a hit which the Canaan players thought was a foul. But we're not kicking. It was a good game, much better than, the average of the league games played here this season Enst Canaan was reinf reed by two out of town players, Casey of Wlnsted and Torrington catcher nan ed Snedck.
 CrrlesTierney pitched for East Ca. na;tn and held the Canaan batsmenr down i'll good shape. He was wild but fortunately for East Canaan his wiid- ness did not come when men were on bases.
 {. noticeable feature of the game was the team work of the East Canaan boys. The result of faithful practice was very ey iient. The story goes that during the pust season the players have hustled from thelr work to the ball grounds every evening aud practlced as long as they could see the ball. Then they went home to supper. This may or may not be true but they have practiced faithfully and we doubt if there is another hamlet in the nutmeg state, no larger than East Canaan, that can boast Q t better ball team
 The East Canaan players made few objections during the game except in the matter of choosing an umpire to take the place of Q. Mover of Lime Rock who retired in the sixth. Shook of Sheffield was finally selected and tho game proceeded, But the East Canaan boys didn't have chance to object. The Tofrington catcher said all there was to say and then some. His constant chatter became monotonous. He took absolute charge of the East Canaan team and his remarks would lead the spectator who didn't know to the con- trary, to believe that the East Canaan boys were a band of novices playing their first game of base bail And he was sort of humorist too, especially when he complimented pitcher Tierney on his ''good pitching" every time the ball scared over both the batter and catcher
