and some paHky fielding allowed their guests 10 close the gap within one run
 We like easy piiehefs, but, oh yot Aloefs, hummed the balls A they sI,ed lo lhs outiielt In all but one inning Put. Haiu bad the Jews looking like a lot oi Marathon runners before the game had hardly begun. and the smiling Nof. gan was palled out of the box in the 5ih. He realty should have been sent Io the stable long before but there was no other pitcher to relieve him.
 Rtyard failed 10 put in an appear auee, nor did he sent any word, SO that the manager vas up against IL. II as found out, through reading m account of ai game between Woonsocket and Berkley, Tn the Mill league, that George was OH the rubber for the latter ieaH. itwas scuryy trick but noth= ing that could have been forseen and avoided by Inc management.
 The manager had decided 10 start II of with Bonin, buI the crowd yelled for Talro so he gave them what they vaDted. And Tate was the real uei- Ions. For six innings he held the op- panents to two little singles ef the scratch variety, and not Il man neaebed third base. In the seventh hiz sup. port went back on him. There were but couple of errors bat fbefe Was some awful slow fielding, and balls that should have been easy routs went as hits. Before the third man was finally retired six men had made the rounds.
 That old Jewett City habit cropped out iu the first inning. Rail- was safe on LabelIeis tumble, then Shaw let him down on n wild throw to lifst. He got tambitious however and showed poor Judgement by trying to purlein third aud was thrown ont Shaw to Labelle.
 Putnam began scoring al once. Tate was out on groDnder to liirst. DIotle started IL with double to left center. l.at<lic swatted oui n ripple To deep
 
 fis' bad throw to third. Marion hit safe, stole and went to third OH passed ball but no one could bring him over.
 Only three men went to bat on either side in the second.
 Putnam got A couple more In the lhifds With one down Diotte hit safe over second and stole. l4abeiie's long single, that went through short to center, brought him over while Joe went down on the return. He ad- saaeed on Marion's out and Shaw brought him the rest of the way by n safety through Willis.
 Three more in the fifth. Tatro and Diotte swa,ted safe and the Captain brought them home with double to cenief. shaw brought the Gap over with line hit toicenter.
 Meanwhile the visitors had once or Twice scen second but never beyond. Now came the hoodo 7th. Robinse II was up. He dropped little dinky 10 short left. The Captain, short stop, and left fielder mixed up together and Il dropped safe. Mckinney rolled one through between second and first. It ought to have been an out but Du- batuiel was so anxious To cover Inc sack he was not where he could handle II. Willis famed, and with proper work he would have been the third out, Jarvis comes up and rolls ons down lo Tate. With plenty of time the Cap lam drops the throw te catch Robin son and the bases are full.
 Moore comes up and plnnks it over lAsaties head for double scoring Robinson and Mckinney. Rall senls ene bnmping down te tsaaue As il reached hin il leok bad bound stdk- sug hifa in the chest Ii WAS mol the short stops fault, bat Jarvis scored en N.
