The Taftville team of the Eastern
Connecticut baseball league closed its
season last Saturday, winning eight
games and losing eleven, one postponed
game at Putnam being cancelled by the
Putnam management on account of the
lateness of the season and because it
would not change the standing of the
leaders.
The team started off well. but the
last half of the season the players fell
below their real form, both in batting
and fielding, and did not play the game
they We're capable of putting up. En-
erson is far ahead in batting hitting

Emerson also led in two-base hits, hay
ing seven to his credit. Dugas is sec

base hits to his credit. The only home
run was mada by Simino, thus captur-
