NEW BRITAIN GRABS
 BOY PITCHING STAR

The pitching staff of the New Bri- tain tailenders has been greatly aug nnented by the acquisition of Frank Woodward, the New Haven boy. Wood ward, though only twenty years of age. gives promise of developing into one of the best twirlers ever sent from New Haven, and New Britain fans are much enthused over the youngster. He was signed for duty by Manager Harry Moves some days ago. following the recommendation of admirers, who are firm in their convictions that Wood ward has the goods.
 Woodward was given his first chance to twirl in New Britain on Wednes- day. He stepped on the mound in the second inning with the tide set strongly against him, the score being 6 to 0 in Waterbury's favor. He worked such execution with the Wat erbury sluggers that they were unable to send a man across the plate until the twelfth inning.
 Tn the eleven innings he worked Woodward allowed only seven hits and in five innings he retired Waterbury in one, two, three order. He gave up seven bases on balls, but dlis work on the whole so satisfactory that he had the fans with him throughout his long battle.

According to the official records of the Batt1exs g pugilisttc career he began fighting in 1900, but he started in the game long before that.

For a minute or two the Kid got away with his us- uaI tactics. Then suddenly, before the first round was over, the circus kid felt something that had all the force and power Of a mules kick. Every thing turned black but the curtain of night which so suddenly descended on the circus pugilistic pet was iilumined by shooting stars and weird pyrotech- mics. The fatal count of ten had {been tolIed off before the kid returned to the world, and Nelson, with a large, round dollar In his pocket, and the cheers of the spectators ringing in his ears was fairly started on the path to glory.
