III roads from base ball fandom for miles around led to North Grosvenor- dale last Sunday where Manager Ar thur Johnson featured Connie Mack and bis Philadelphia Athletics. It was estimated that ' 300 fans saw the game on the Reardon field and they were all satisfied with the exhibition.
 To have big league team in this section was decided novelty. The weather man did his part and the day was an ideal one for bringing out every lover of base ball. TroIeys and auto mobiles were in use to get the large gathering to the grounds. The grand stand and bleachers were quickly filled and the overflow stood about the field at times interfering a bit with the free- dom of the players.
 1t was day that will long be re membered in local base ball and many fans saw for the first time players whom they had only known by name from reading newspaper lbase ball news. Philadelphia scored in the first and fifth while 1t was not until their final inning that the home team made the rounds.

Boxing Season Opened

The boxing season was formally opened in St. Johns hall, Thursday evening. There were about l50 al lhe ring side and preceding the first bout and between each affair the Harmony orchestra furnished music.
 Henry N. Benoit announced that fl the support warrants it there will be some good contests staged this season. Pete Demefs was in charge of the evenings entertainment and acted as the third man in the ring.
 The first bout was between Young Chenail and Jack Latour. They mixed il up lively 'as they stepped to the center but slowed down toward the end of the round.
 The second round was about half over when Latour shot out right to the ribs that stopped his opponent.
 In the second bout Kid McKenna of Mechanicsville had the best Of Fred Burke Of Grosvenofdale all the way over 4 five round route.
 Burke started rushing only to be met by some saucy jabs from the Me chanicsvtlle Kid's right. And ocea. sionally left was handed across for good measure.
 McKenna was too clever for his op- p0nent and landed freely. He soon had Burke on the defensive. In the sec ond he .had him wabbly but lacked the steam to stop him. Burke recover. ed quickly during the rest period and WIS willing tinker at the first Of each round but wary in the latter part after he had rushed at his lighter an- tsgonist wieh disasterous result.s
 Mckenna was in good form and shows proper teare and training dur ing the summer. This was the best and ,only good bout of the evening
 In the semi final, Young Racieot substituted against Young Auger. In the first, arms were flying like trip hammers but no damage was done. Before the round was half over both men had shot all they had and the rest of the four rounds were just a gentle love affair with an occasional rally when they would give each other a good hard slap on the wrist.
 The final was another tame affair Reno had boils and Young Lueier went up against Leon 1of Central Vil- lage. The Putnam boy was an un. willing mixer. He had to get ibusy in the first when Leon came at him like a tiger. Near the rounds end Lueier gave grunt and laid down.
 He started in ithe second and they continually rushed into cinehes.
 The third had not gone far when Lueier signified he had enough, al. though apparently he was holding his own when he was willing to mix IL,
 Young Weaver of Danielson chal. enged the winner of this bout.
