 The game was the usual story that has been written after almost all the Academy games this year. The local school was up against much strong CT team composed of Al semi pro players The opponents soon pile up a lead, then the Academy team, espe- cially the infield, gets discouraged and begins booting the ball all over the lot Then the opponents get an over whelming lead and the Academy in- field tries some comedy stuff with further disastrous results. All this time the pitcher has been working his head off and having about six men per inning get. on base through errors and wild throws when they should be easy outs. Up to the seventh inning the game was a fair exhibition of baseball, then suddenly the local team went way up in the air and New London sent If men to bat that inning. In the eighth II men batted.
