The Fairfields defeated the Har-
groves on Sunday at McGarry's field
by a score of to 3. 1t was a good
game up to the 9Th inning when the
shower came making the diamond soft
and muddy and the ball slippery. The
Hargrove team is a lively bunch Of
in the field by their snappy and tricky
work but showed weakness at the bat
there being only a few good batters
on the team. They can boast of some
pitcher though, in young Mr.. Flynn
who played first base until 18th inn
ing. When he began to pitch it was
very evident if he had started to pitch
the game the result would have been
different. But he had no catcher who
was able to hold his swift delivery.
Mr.. Flynn could be with the Cleveland
professional club, but his parents pre-
fer to keep him at school instead of
baseball. McGarry pitched fairly well
for the FairfieldS.
The Fairfield Juniors played the Pr
rates of Bridgeport on their field on
Sunday and were defeated by a score
of II to 10. Scull who pitched for the
Juniors was hit by ball, and replace
ed by Mills, but too late to save the
game. Mills pitchings was invincible
He is good healthy pitcher with
plenty Of speed.
The Fairfield Reserves were out on
Sunday with their neat red uniforms
and played a practice game The
youngsters showed good, speedy ma.
terial and will play several clubs from
ont of town during the season
