 The base ball season closed Saturday
 with the Willimantie game. The sea- Son has been success in some ways, even though the team succeeded in
 winning only few of the schedule games Financially the season did hot close as well as could be wished,
 but with the aid of few friends the
 deiicit will be readily made up. This eeasons team showed up especially Strong in batting. Out of eleven regu-
 lar players five batted 300 or over
 which is exceptionally good. A trail of hard luck seemed to follow the local
 boys all season. AS many as four of the games lost were lost by ninth in-
 ming rallies. Baekmore, captain as < well as premier pitcher, had the honor
 of pitching a no hit, no run game,
 which is unusual in High school ball. Out of t3 games Putnam won 8. The Management wishes to thank all who contributed to the fund.
 The following contributed to the High School Athletic Fund during the
 past week: F. M. Cole, Geo.sE. Shaw.
 At recent meeting of the teachers,
 c Stanley shaw was awarded the cup for being the best all round athlete in
 the school. During the past year Shaw
 has been member of both the base
 ball and basketball teams. He plays
 steady game of tennis, and is the best
 yaulter on the track team. Shaw's spirit is unexcelled. He'is always ea-
 ger to enter a game but just as willing
 to be replaced by one that he thinks may do better. It is this hearty whole
 some spirit that predominates, and
 which makes him especially worthy of
 the cup.
