GOOD BYE CUP
No Pen Can Describe How Bad the Local High School Played in Game With New Haven.

Displaying a, miserable brand or 1 baseball, the New Britain High school relinquished whatever chance it had for gaining the Yale cup in the Triangular league Saturday afternoon at Walnut Hill Park, when the clever nine representing the New Haven High school walked off with the game ,, and incidentally the cup, after 8, one- sided contest, score ID to 4. The score does not however. indicate how had the locals played, the proper i'm
 pression could only be secured by at tending the game" Ten miles away q monster parade was being staged in the cause of preparedness, but the procession had nothing on the march
 that the visitors presented when they reached first base. Eleven stolen
 bases will probably convey the idea of what an easy time the Elm City lads had on the paths.
 Many years ago, when baseball was ir it's infancy, it was the custom to play the game of catch-it-on- on-the- bound. and just to introduce some thing original or antiquated as you will the three guardians of the out field positions decided that this would be their method of stopping every thing that came their way. They succeeded beautifully, much to the satisfa ction of the visiting players, l and the disgust of the rooters of the | home team. Unless New Haven l batter was unfortunate enough to hit
 a ball directly into the fielder's glove, he was in no danger of being called 1 out, and in some cases he was ! rewarded by reaching second base,
 while these players looked at the ball
 as if it might be a German bomb, and I dangerous to handle.
 The victors won the game because 1 they played a splendid brand of base | ball. Some of the players in size and ] build looked as if the bricklaying or 1 hoilermaking trades might be aug
 IT ented soon by some capable young
 men. Big Anderson who was on the
 mound for the victors displayed a
 sterling brand of hurling, holding the l home team safe at all times except in 1 the eighth inning when he filled tlrc 1 bases with a hit and two bases on balls, but after three runs had been l secured he frightened up and the 1 danger was passed.
 ] The infield of the Elm City aggre-
 gation was as classy an outfit as ever represented High school nine in this city. Duggan at short, who s, me of the big league scouts are re- ported as looking over carefully, played his position in fine shape and was a demon with the willow. Allen, the Ethiopian backstop, was another thorn in the locals path, smashing the sphere to all corners of the lot, besides catching the delivery of An derson in clever fashion.

 Herman Hagedorn. There's a game that we call Life, Which all must play for just so long; And this game knows but one great For young and old-for weak and
 strong; A law eternal as all time, A law that holds the realm in thrall- That sends it's message down the Flight on-or fall" Turn to the dreams that peace shall
