1 Last Saturday on the grounds of the Ballouville Athletic Club was Ilayed an interesting game of base ball between the home team and the nine from Intervale Mills, QuinnebauS. The visiting team brought a truck load from their village twelve miles north, and all appeared to have a good time. The Ballouvilles got a couple of runs in the first inning, three in the third, two in the fifth and one in the sixth. The visitors secured two runs in the third inning, five in the sixth and one in the eighth. Thus Up to that point the game was tied. But the home nine then scored three runs in the last half of the eigth, and as the visitors failed to secure any in the first half of the ninth the home As the home team is to visit places which have been sending teams here there will be cessation of games here for some weeks.
