the matter in hand, filed the bags
with salt and thereby has impaired
the proper flavor to Onset water"

fresh" she is now telling her friends
of having g e the government salt

the Townshend Champions Monday
afternoon, when in well played games
the seminary nine was handed a goose
egg and the East Dover team met de-
feat by a score of IL to Z. In the first
game, with the seminary, Kingsbury

and striking out six, allowing but three
safe hits, while Sparks for the semi
nary allowed eight hits, striking out
eight men and issuing no passes. The
game was snappy, and much effective
work was done.
The second game, called at $50,
brought out the enthusiasm of an un-
usually large crowd Excellent stick
work was done by the Champs and the
team work was good. Barry did great
pitching most of the way, but the
East Dover boys forced him to the linn

frightened up, however, in the eighth
and ninth. He struck out Is through
