Middlotown High School baseball nine
went down to its first defeat OF the 1917
season yesterday afternoon, and Incl
dentally lost its chance of eQualing the
famous record of the 1911 team of going
through an entire season without a de-
feat. The first team to vanquish the
local high school nine ia the Smyrna
High School, and that team with the
aid of the battery OF the regular town
team, did things up proper The score
was l6-9, the locals playing an uphill
game throughout But for the Smyrna
battery. Thompson and Cobb. both OF
whom graduated from Smyrna several
years ago. Niiddletown would have won.
This pair did more than the other seven
men put together.
The playing of Bob George featured
for Middetown, he securing four hits in
az many bats, scoring two runs and
handling live chances faultlessly.
Athletic relations may be severed be-
tween the two high schools on account
Of Smyrna playing Cobb a former pro-
lessor, and Thompson. neither of whom
