| ors Defeated 16-1o-contest ScreaE, from Start to. Finish.
 l Friday was a great day for the mar ried men, for they won the ball game on Brewsters' park by a score of 13 l to 10 The players paraded from the 1 corner of Soule and Main streets at 1.30, led by the married mems band, | consisting of Joseph Mccarthy and his drum. A large and enthusiastic crowd
 was in the grandstand and on the 1 bleaehers, and laughed themselves l hoarse while they applauded wildly. 1 There were two umpires, L. F. Kin ney behind the pitcher and Dr. s. H. l Holmes for the bases. The latter an- nounced the batteries and that Rus l seI M Brown would pitch the first | ball.
 l Mr. Brown walked to the pitchers 1 box. removed his coat. and made l speech. Then in the most approved l style he threw an out curve ball, and l the terrible battle was on. The score l went like this:
 Married Men 0 3 0 1 0 3 4 1 2-13 l Single Men 2 0 0 6 1 0 0-10 l The single men made six runs ill l the sixth inning

 E. M. Gray was scorer, assisted by | Michael Griffin, and he certainly need ed help. The game was played under the rules of 1880, and it was necessary at one stage in the game for MT. Me Carthy to carry the book of rules on to the field for Umpire Kinney's inspec- tiOn The doctors would have been kept busy if it had not been for the book.
 Three doctors were present, Drs. Jennings, Holmes and Lieberthal. Per haps the record play was made by John Blake, boss spinner at Slater mills who made four strikes, a two bagger and finally went to home plate. Joseph Mccarthy distinguished himself by his pitching and his three -bagger. Desrosiers and Mosse made the only double plays. F. c. Whiting was a star first baseman, only one ball get ting by him. Possibly it was due 70 | his costume. Joseph LaBonne's pitch | ing was above reproach, as was Ernest Browns The same cannot be said of some of the others Paquette, who is an experienced catcher, did some high 1 jumping and sidestepping. Pariseau l brought in three runs and nearly every player made one or two runs. The | umpires could give points to some of 1 the men who umpire the regular games 1 here. No one questioned their de- 1 cisions.
 Johnstone Won Peanuts. Before the game there was a foot
 race between William Johnstone and George Barber. The starter was Ja-
 cob Wechsler and the timekeeper F.
 M. Gray. The contestants were even | ly matched and the bag of peanuts was knocked out of the judges, Dr. s. | H. Holmes. hand, and William John ! stone got them. The boys profited by l the drop in peanuts. Daniel Gagnon 1 filled the office of water boy to perfec- | ton, for he furnished pink lemonade 1 free of charge. O. F. Miller and Jo-
 seph Labonne had their flying machine on the ground, but it came to grief. l Church Interests. l The Congregational church is closed | for August.
