 Robertson Goes to Stonington.
 It was with great regret that lovers of good work in baseball learned that George Robertson, catcher for the first nine. has resigned and will play with Stonington. He is one of the best catchers in eastern Connecticut and the Stonington team has secured a good man. Today Fred L'Heureux of Trinity team, who played Colgate in Hartford Friday, will catch for the first nine at the game at North Grosvenor- dale. Captain Arthur L'Heureux will take his place as shortstop, Gero will pitch and St. Claire will play third fTn +rrrr. J1-gf f.0f11 1n,a this year.
