BENEFIT GAME.
Manager McDermott Planning a Testi- moniaI Baseball Attraction for Ss- lected Men.


 Manager Thomas McDermott of the Putnam baseball team has made the generous offer of putting on a big baseball attraction here Sunday, July 21, for the benefit of the boys of the district who are leaving next week for Camp Devens. There are 65 to go and Manager McDermott wants to do something that will give the people an opportunity to show the boys how they feel toward those who are fighting and are to fight the country's battles
 Manager McDermott's proposition is to put on a big game and to turn over every nickel of profit above the actual expenses to the selected men of this district, that they may have fund to buy smokes or other things that may appeal to them on the day they leave for camp. A committee of the selected men will be at the gate to help handle the fund as it comes in. If the game proves a financial loss, Manager Me Dermott says he is wiIiing to stand the cost cut of his own pocket. He himself is a veteran of the Spanish war, and he knows what it means tc get out and make ready to do your bit In a word, the big game will be ir the nature of a sendoff for the men and if the arrangements are made, as now seems certain, there is a prospect of getting together the biggest base ball crowd of the season.
