MaleoIm, Too, Was in Rare Form But
 the Westerly School Twirler Was In. 5 vincible.

The B. H. S. baseball team, cham pions of the Western Division of the 1nterscholastic Baseball league. worn out by the terrific strain imposed upon them by playing four days in success sion in the hottest kind of weather re- ceived the small end of the argument Saturday on Yale Field when they stacked up against Westerly High, champions of the Eastern Division for the Interscholastic championship of the state-
 The final score was To. Bridgeport being unable to connect with the elusive delivery of Burrows. The game itself will probably go down as one of the greatest contests ever engaged in between high school teams. as Bur rows made a great record in striking out eighteen batters and not allowing q hit. When the locals did hit it was only to the inf1eld. the outfielders not being credited with a put out an assist. Malcolm the other hand was almost, as effective striking out eleven and allowing only four scatter ed hits. none of which counted for the lone run.
 It was in the first inning that the westerlys gleaned their sole tally. Foley had gone out on fly to Hawley. Martin sent a grasser at Harry Mid
 
 giving Martin life. He accordingly stole second, the throw from SeeIey to IAlley being high.
 Lalley let Chapman's easy bounder go> through his init, and Marin scored . from second. Lalley made a bluff to throw home to get Martin. knowing that it was impossible to get that man, so as to draw Chapman off first base. In throwing to Graether the sphere sailed in to the fence. Chapman taking third. On Dutton's hit to Malcolm. Chapman was thrown out at home. PeEber ended this inning by going out short to first If a team ever had a chance to score 1t was given to the locals : tzl their half of the first inning Harry Mfddlebrooks walked. Burrows threw Louie =Middlebrooks' sacrifice to second :; on the bound to get Brother Harry. both men being safe. LalIey hit to the forced at third. Burrows walked Seeley filling the bases. Graether and Mo FarlaDd were called upon to save the day But alas. both famed and the : chance was gone. There were 8 B. H. s. boys on the corners and only one gone Any kind of a bingle would have broken up the game. We did not have man on base again till the fifth. and stole second. Porter and Malcolm struck out. It was up to Harry Mid dlebrook to tie the score.
 Harry got under oue of Burrows QIOpS lul1nS the Dall into left field. The sphere was high, Hawley crossed the pan. and Middlebrook rested on second before the globule fell. In fall ing it touched the left foul flag just going outside the line when it landed Harry went back to bat and struck out
 Ealley in the ninth with one out reached first on Champlain's slip up of his grounder. SeeIey tried hard, send ing up a. foul tap which Foley gather ed in- Graether hit to Martin, Lalley being thrown. out at second. It looked . like more scoring for the WesterIys in the seventh but the superb pitch ing of Malcolm prevented. Dutton led on with a hit to right followed by Pember's slow grounder to first which he beat out Seeley gathered in Bur rows foul fly. Malcolms error of L.. Foley's easy tap filled the bases Mall colm then steadied down and struck out the next two men. Again in the eighth the Wesleyans looked dangerous. Foley led off with a neat single to left He was out trying to steal sec ono- Mcfarland then booted Martins grounder. Martin was caught off first on a quick throw from Malcolm to Graether- Chapman then struck out The score:
