Scores on the big circuit and he seem ed to revel in getting into the box and doing some pitching to somebody that might possibly produce a little ex- citement. He had speed. good con trol, excepting fin one inning, and faculty of using his head. The com bination was sufficient He stood o=t there burning. them over and grinning from ear to ear as his service escaped the bombardment that 1t might pos sibly have been subjected to-just possibly. for Putnam was not hitting. the team collecting only three safeties throughout the centre afternoon. these coming at times when they did not net any dividends.
 In the meantime the heavy hitting Southbridge outfit was getting to Van Dyke, who was not getting the usual strong support of the Putnam team, and the smashes and the crashes that they turned in at opportune times were sufficient to put them on Easy street as early as the third inning.
 Up to the eighth inning Putnam reg istered only one hit off Boehler and the local rooters sat shrouded in gloom on the bleachers and around the field. Out of the crowd of 2,500 that saw the game there were hundreds of Southbridge rooters, however, arriving here by special train and auto, who made things hum as their favorites proceeded to put the game on ice and al lof them had one real pleasant aft ernoon-yes indeedy.
 In the eighth Van Dyke succeeded in hitting the right field fence for a sim gle, while in the ninth Mike Donlin, the old New York Giant duplicated the performance. Southbridge scored one run in the first and three move in the third

Gilson, giving Mcintyre the hit and run signal. took a healthy swing at the pill and lined it down to the third baseman, who begged 1t over Donlin's head in attempting to catch Gilson, while Mcintyre chased gaifS around to third and registered the first when Iavoie hit to Page, who tossed the ball to Kearny. catching Gilson coming down from first.
 In the second frame but three men faced the Southbridge pitcher, two of them being. retired by the strikeout route and the third dying at first. Har- ry Cooney led off the third inNnG with a base on balls. Mcintyre dou- bled over the right field fence, advanc- | ing Cooney to third. Cooney scored when Gilson hit fast liner down the third base line that Spires was unable | to handle. Spires upon recovering threw wildly to Lewis and Mcintyre reached third with Gilson at first La. voie hit to short, who succeeded 1T tagging Gilson.
