PUTNAM RLANkED DANIELsoN.
Home Teams Errors Cost Them the
 Game Saturday-Score 20.

Fully recovered from their attack of stage fright, Putnam came to Daniel son Saturday afternoon and applied a coat of their shutout mixture to the Benoit team. Putnam ?, Danielson 0 was the score.
 Barnicle held the home team to two hits, while the visitors touched Bouch- CTS shoots for five safeties. About 400 paid admission to see the fun and about half the number were from Putnam There was keen rivalry for the game from the start and but for the infeld errors of the Danielson bunch the game might have been going yet
 Putnam got their first run in the second. Marion started the trouble with a single. Shaw, next up. hit roller that got away from Austin, and he was safe at first. Gagne was an easy out. but Lizotte sent one through Benvenutti, and Marion scored. The second run, made in the sixth inning. was also the result of bungling work in the infield. With two out Labelle sent a little grass cutter at McClafferty, who did a juggling act and got it to Tatro too late to retire the runner. Labelle went to second on a passed ball and scored on Marion's hit back of first.
 DanielsOns only chance to pull the game into winter quarters came in the sixth. McClafferty opened with a clean single to short left and Austin follow cd with 4 fast ground ball between first and second. This put Mac on third. and with no one out the chance looked good. Tatro could not hit the ball clear of the infeld and McClaffer- ty was thrown out at the plate in try ing to stretch the chance into a run. Clabby and Leopold both were out on long high ones to the outfield, and aft CT that Danielson never had a chance The game was a good one to watch and the fans were satisfied that the show was worth the nancy. The score:
 R. E. Danielson 70 o % o o 0 0 co ? 6 Batteries Putnam Barnicle and Shaw Danielson Boucher and Clabby; umpire, Moriarty; time, 1.95.

JEWETr CITY WINS.
Good Fielding and Fair Batting Mark
 cd Saturdays Game with DayviIle.

One of the largest crowds of the season saw the home team defeat the Dayville nine on Brewsters Park Sat urday afternoon. On the whole it was a peculiar game, especially from the pitching standpoint. Shea's record is the best of all Trinity's twirlers but Saturday though he was not in form and was trifie cratic. the hits off his delivery were few. Kelly of Day. vile was what might be classed as a loving pitcher Like Klobedanz of former league fame he loved the ball so much that he disliked to let go of it. His over-deliberation was very trying to the nerves of the 500 fans who waited but not in silence. The work of the home fielders and the left fielder of the visitors (barring his bad throw to the plate letting in LHeureux) was beyond criticism George Robertson behind the bat filled the place fully as he always does. He plays ball every minute.
