 Putnam handed Wauregan a shut out and Incidentally the worst beating the Greys have received this season when the two teams got together for the first time this year on the Provi- dence street grounds Saturday after noon. The score was Putnam T. Wau- rogan 0. For six innings, barring a slip by the visitors in the third in- ming, 1t was real lively and exciting struggle, and the big crowd of rooters were kept on edge. Rivard was on the rubber for Putnam, while Livesly was shooting them over for Waure- gan.

Goven dropped the ball. and in at- tempting to throw Lizotte out at first threw the ball over Gadbois' head, and Pepin scored. Wauregan had men on second and third in the fourth with cnly one out, but Gadbois famed and Hill was out on a short fly to Pepin.
 There was nothing more doing in the scoring line until the sixth, when Put nam collected two more runs as the result of a lot of punly fielding.
 The loyal Wauregan rooters never lost hope of victory until the eighth, when the grand ascension occurred. All kinds of thirgs happened to the visitors in that inning. Shaw opened with a single to short left and stole

 Sheriff Sibley was called to the jail from Danielson, and at once endeav- bred to ascertain whether Roberts was Insane or suffering from delirium tremens. Suspicion hovers about Rob- erts connection with the death of his wife. who was found by the roadside near their home in Columbia last Mon- day evening. In view of this fact, Sheriff Sibley immediately telephoned Co Coroner R. H. Fiske' of Stafford, who investigated the death of Mrs. Roberts and informed him of the hap pening at the jail.
