The day was perfect and one of the
largest crowds ever assembled on other
than holiday was present TO show their
appreciation of and interest in the game.
The White River railway had a special
for the occasion and visitors from most
of the surrounding towns were present.
The gate receipts we're $3.50, taking
the team out of debt.
The Hardwick team, accompanied by
choice band of loyal rooters, arrived
before noon in some dozen automobiles
and registered at the Bethel Inn. Arthur
Miller of Hancock held the indicator aud
presided over the game in a way to please
all. His work was a treat.
Bethel presented a pitcher new to these
parts-Griffin Of Manchester, N. H.
and barring the I'd and 9Th innings,
when he was touched for two and three
hits, his work was very satisfactory.
Lawless had some trouble catching him,
possibly due to mixed signals, but bar

did also Skinner, who heIded at top
speed. Putnam accepted six chances in
center field.

game, keeping the ball we'll over the
corners, and except for the second inning,
when Bethel scored, was never in trouble.

/ following the missed third strike on
Kimbsll. As the battery did most Of the
work, there were no hard chances. The
feature OF Hardwick's game was the
hating of Appolt, Murray and Marion,
with three hits each to their credit
