 Organization of East Canaan Baseball Club, Burton Barnard manager Lyman Micheals, captain; Nelson Stratton, treasurer Burton Stratton, scorer.
 Players - Pitches, Feathers, Casey, Cribbley, White and Holton catchers, Micheals and E. Casey 1st base, Joe Delaney; 2d base, M. Foley; 3d base, George Perdizet ; ss, I. Mancca fielders, E. Casey, Jim Casey and Louie Gangell. The East Canaan village, while few in numbers, can boast of a team of base ball players that give splendid exhibi- tion of the national pastime. The team this year played match game each week from May IT to Oct. II, and double headers on July and Labor Day. Con- sidering the fact that the team met some of the strongest teams in this section they did well to win about one- half of the games played. The team will do much better next season because several of the men were new this year and it was Feathers, the local pitchers, first full season, yet he made very creditable showing, defeating Salisbury, Ancram and Great Barrlngton. The team captured the series from Great Harrington, winning three out of the five games plaped. They tied the Nor folk team and won two out of three from Ancram and lost the series with Copake, N. Y, New Hartford, and with Torrington. Considering the fact that all of the members of the team play for the love of the game and have little op- portunity of practlcing together, their record is good one. The schedule and the results for the season just closed May IT, woI from Salisbury, 4-3 May 24, lost to Lakeville, 7-8; May 30, won from Winsted Independents, 101; June IA, lost to Great Harrington, 2-7; June 2l. lost to Great Barrington, 7-S; June 29, won from Ancram, 12 s July 4, lost double header to Torrington, 79. g. 10 ; July 12, lost to Copake, N.
