was defeated on the Milton grounds
sunday March 26, by Milton's league
team. The game was interesting from
start to finish although the score was
9 TO 4. Weston made one score in the
first inning and three in the third.
Newt O'Harra pitched the first half
of the game then Robert Wheeler
pitched the last half.
In the first inning ]. E. Keefe, ir.,
the some" catcher, had his fore fin
ger. badly injured. He was catching
when bali hit him on the finger nail
ana split the back of the finger to
the bone. He wouldn't give up but a
doctor was called and it was band
aged as good as possible and he con-
tinued playing through the entire
game.
Some bad errors were made on both
sides, showing that both teams need
more practice The good plays out
numbered the errors by far in both
teams.
Weston turned out well to the game,
every carriage. buggy and all means
IF conveyance were IN use.
The team and town people are not
in the least discouraged as it was
only an aid to them in showing their
weak points and they take it as such.
They expected TO lose one game and
they thought it was as well the first
as last one.
They will prepare to meet Athena
next Sunday on their own grounds
and they hope for a charming success
which of course it will be.
