Moosup Tigers Defeat Holy Name.

The fast Holy Name Society base ball squad of Jewett City journeyed to Moosup Sunday afternoon and was deefated by the Moosup Tigers by the close score of ? to 1. The first four innings were faultless as both teams batted and fielded with ability. Not until the fifth did the scoring begin. Bodo, of Moosup, placed the horse hide neatly over second for a safe birgle. Loperle. the well known slug ger then wielded the willow for two bases, bringing Bodo to third. For the first time during the game did the visitors find themselves in a dangerous position With things in this condi- tion Laporte came to bat. He hit the first ball to short center, SCOT ing Bodo. The visitors continued their fine style of ball playing and got out of the difficulty without one run against them. Tn the sixth Jewett City took a hand in the scoring erd of the game. For the first time a visitor met Lepack's delivery squarely for a well placed single and soon he stole second. Liberty was the next man, and he, too. surprised the loyal fans by connecting with the Moosur' s fine twirler for a single. During this
 inning Jewett City tied the score on wild throw. In the eighth Laporte again walloped over first and scored on Whites single to left.

SHORE LINE ENTERS TWILIGHT LEAGUE
Manager Jack Flynn Enters Team to Play Evenings During Summer-Scheme Has Worked Out Nicely In Other Cities and Will No Doubt Go Entries From Other Teams Excepted During Weekday Will Probably Start June Washington Defeats Chicago to In Eighteen Inning Game.

thrashed out at the meeting are dues, grounds, admission, Sunday ball, ellgl- bility of players, etc. The expenses of such a league must of necessity be light. The only expenses will be for equipment, and this can be reduced to a minimum. If the league should de-
 eide to adopt an official ball, the com pany would in all probability furnish trophy. The travelling expenses
 would be almost negligible. There are
 grounds that are at least fair at the
 fair grounds, park and Taftville, while there is a possibility of securing the Academy campus, the Falls diamond or the state hospital grounds. Admission Sunday ball and eligibility of players are questions that cannot be settled without the views of all the members of the league.

s,. :. -.s a i.
 Some time. ago assuggestion was made that atWilight a baseball league be started here. In a letter to the Sporting Editor Wednesday, Manager Jack Flynn of the Shore Line entered his team. Mrs Flynn suggests as other possibilities Boston Store, Shoe Clerks. Porteous &c Mitchell, Marlin Rockwell Taftville, Velvet. Mill and Thermos. If two teams could be raised at the Mar lin-Rockweu plant and the suggested plants enter teams, there would be an eight-club circuit. There is no good reason why the above mentioned firms should not have teams, as there is an abundance of material, and in fact one or two of them already have teams, although not very well organ ized.
 The twilight league scheme is not e result of the daylight saving law as some of the. big city papers assert. The clerks in the stores in Westerly have successfully operated such a league for several years. Leagues are being started in Chicago and Bridge port this year, as well as in many other places. There seems to be no question but that such a league would make good. Hartford runs a very suc- cessful league. made up of teams from the clerks of the various insurance offices there. sz 4@
 All teams desiring to enter such a league are asked to hand in their names to the Sporting Editor or to MT Flynn. As soon as a sufficient mum per of teams are entered a meeting Of the managers will be called and rules and playing schedule adopted It is important that the teams be en-
 tered as soon as possible for the league should open within a few days after June 1.
 While no rules for the play of the league can be formulated until the teams have sent their representatives
 to a meeting, Mr. Flynn makes som4 very good suggestions, Some of then are: Games to be called at 6.3O | Length of game must be set at some | definite point as five or seven innings
 All umpires to be appointed by league
 officials. All league affairs to be ir the hands of board of managers, witt a representative from each team ant
