 The onward rush of fadiy.s aggrega tion, which must be admitted has been somewhat seheeked aud has re eeived revefses for the past two. weeks, was resumed with al oi the old dash and spirit Saturday on the Putnam battlefield, when, after -a nine inning encounter the General received the fe- port that there mad been an advance ef his men all along the Iine of battle md it was given out that The enemy u1. der the leadefshlp5f monsie Ben it Of TaIiville, were securely l9 pped n their Trenches, had mat deft al 4he hands of the men carr. ltg Tcady's colars, and were beipies to do any more heavy zbombariing The score was To

 But las to the actual hostilities As viewed from the front, Pulnam's llae- up was considerably strengthened. The initial sack wus,eovered by Mike Donlin, as promised, tand the ex New York Giant was the center Of the eyes of the fans and he certainly looked good. Mike jumped into favor i'm rnediately and 1t is hoped he will be q fixtAre for the balance of the season. Not only did his manner of covering the sack receive the stamp Of appro- Sal but in four trips to the bat,he con necled safely three lines. sheridan was serving and Lewis receiving and they were feal live wires and in the gatas every minute Only six saieties were recorded and Lewis light whip killed many t spy that tried to get line on conditions around the second sack.
 raflvills did not score in the first skirmish but Putnam drew blood in their half, fallon making the rounds on ticket to first an error at thrd and wild throw.
 There was nothing more unul The ihitd N ileu t iuoAed as if the enemy had euaged ~heftdents K shoots as they proceeded to break through the chIcg gunners line of fire and two hallers hit safe. But the locals climbed out of the hole with double play, Sheriden to L,HereuN, and sent Taftville scur rying back To the shelter of the bench with only one run. This punctufe was the result of Gefmaine's stealing home while Donlin aud Gagnon were running down Normanda at second.
 In the 4th Gallagher was given n life hy wild throw, took second and came in on a hit by Paige.
 All ammunition from this point until the 7th was wasted. The lucky 5th started with Che announcement hY putnam's commander that more run was necessary to ehneh the victory and the order was To get 1t and break the enemy's defence at any cost. With litlle elever,strategy the order was carried out. Sheriden sing led and Fallen sacrificed him to see ond. Gagnon flied 10 Cummings. Two down when Lewis and Douhn hit the bulls eye bringing Sheridan over with Pumam's last run Lewis spoiled Putnam $ chances for another run by trying to steal home.
 In the meantime Taftvtlle was re sisting every inch of the way and Duke Benoit had't n thought of rais' ing the white flag. Even up to the last ditch his men were fighting and the counter attack might have sue. eeeded had not Gallagher jumped into the center of the stage and pulled down Cummings deep drive that looked good for couple of sacks when it left his bat. McDermotts was on second at the time and Gallag CT rounded oul the play by good throw that resulted in double play and brought the battle to an ed with a well from united Putnam fandom,
