 Representatives from 5outhbridge, Globe Village, Webster, North GFos- venordale, Mechanicsyille, and Put nam met in the Joslyn House, Web steT, Sunday and discussed the lorna ton of base ball league. Charles K. Shaw and Armand Lizotte were pres ent from Putnam. No definite action was taken as Webster, Putnam, and some of the other places could not as- sure the meeting that they would put team in field. Another meeting will be held this Thursday night at the same place. There was considerable enthusiasm manifested for the new league and il seemed 10 be the sense of the meeting that home players be used. One of the arguments used against the league was that it will mean games at home only every other Saturday. 1t will be suggested at the meeting Thurs day night that junior league be or ganized at the same time, to be com- league, and to play al home the 5atur- days when the other teams are away.
 There is some prospect that the Put nam team may be taken up by the tiremen. At a meeting of the Muster Day committee last Sunday base ball was brought up and considerable dis eussion of the situation ensued al though no definite action was taken. The plan suggested was that every Thursday afternoon game be played between two of the several companies. Then the best players from the whole department, and possibly outside of it, be taken to make up q team to be known as the Putnam team, for Satur- day afternoon games At first one might be inclined to say that the de- paTtment does not contain fast enough material but when one looks over the le f Inc, of Shaw, Farley, Tatro, Gagne, Lizotte, Wheaton and other regulars they see the mistake and the proposition begins to look pretty good. This is the situa. ton at present but there will probably be further development before the week Is over. Meanwhile the fans are beginning to sit up and take notice. F. H. $. was defeated by St. Louis school ot Webster Friday afternoon. The score was F to 3. Poor support of Pulnam's pitcher, who had an out shoot that was tooling the Bay staters, was responsible for the large number of runs.
 George Johnson of last seasons An dem and Putnam teams, is now em- l ployed in the Alec automobile factory in Providence, and playing on the Al co team of the Interstate league. He is holding down the third station, and says he Is in fast company.
 1 The fact that the sewer is to cross | the base ball grounds is worrying those interested in base ball this sea- son, as they are wondering how much and how long it will put the diamond out Of commission.
 C. A. C. won hands down from Me- chaniesville on School street groun Is Saturday afternoon. As the score, l2 to 2, indicates, the game was bit one sided, and lacked mid.season form. Putnam is developing and as the sea. son progresses these youngsters will deliver good article. The financial end of the game needs the boost that every fan can give it by being present next Saturday, when the Hub A. C. of Webster, a fast aggregation, will come to town.
 At Il meeting of members of the fire department relative to taking hold of the Putnam base ball team and putting 1t in the proposed new league, held Wednesday night, it was decided not to have anything 10 do with the pro position. This decision was arrived at when it was found that an expense of two or three hundred dollars would be necessary in procuring back stop, blea cherS, canvas, uniforms, etc. II also developed that some of the players had minated that they would expect to be paid weekly for their services. The companies will play Thursday after noon games among themselves. Putnam High was bIanked by Nor wieh Free Academy, at Norwich, We'd neSday afternoon, the score being 5--0 | Blaekmore continues his good box work and struck out 10 men and all- owed but hits, but his support k not backing him up as it should. One of the features was a one-hand catch of d fly by Tatro at third,
