sACHEMS AND ST. MARY's
 LONG STRING OF, WINS

The reorganized Sachems met the
 fast St. Mary's team of Jewett City on
 the Falls diamond Sunday afternoon
 and defeated them by score of ii toS.
 Both teams fielded and hit we'll. In
 fact, the game was we'll worth witness
 ing. The feature of the game was
 splendid one-hand catch by Right
 Fielder Johnson of the Sachems after
 a hard to the foul line in deep
 right. He speared the ball when it
 was close to the ground, thus ending a
 rally for the Jewett City boys. Simcox
 was on the mound for the Sachems and pitched very good ball and was well supported. Jarvis was on the | mound for Jewett City and he was also well supported, but the Sachenas hit him rather freely at opportune times.
 The sachems are now going good and the fans in the future will see some good baseball at the Falls grounds The Sachems started the scoring in their half of the first inning. getting l one run on two singles and a sacrifice. | The Jewett City boys scored one in their half of the second. The Sachems
 scored two in their half of the third 1 and Jewett City scored four. making
 the score 5-3. This ended the scoring
 until the sixth, when the Sachems by 1 good celan hitting and splendid inside baseball scored six. making the score , 95. The Jewett City boys scored two
 in both the seventh and eighth and in 1 the eighth the Sachems scored two 1 more, making the score 119. In Jew i cit Citys half of the ninth they tried hard to score with two men out and one man on second and third. The batter rapped hard one at Ellsworth, who felded the ball superbly and re- tired his man at first. The Sachems would now like to hear from all the fast teams in eastern Connecticut. La varge umpired in usual impartial style.

The title holder, in particular performed in a more impressive manner than has been the case during the past few days In addition to the usual pulley work and shadow boxing, he boxed five three minute and one two minute rounds with his sparring partners Monahan and Hempel.
 Against Hempel, Willard showed flashes of speedy footwork and ducking which recalled the days when he was training for Johnson. The real work out came when he faced Monahan. The latter evidently had instructions to speed up in his boxing and he re- sponded 50 promptly that he managed to open a cut over Willard's left eye in the first round and drew blood from the champions lips in the second.
 The roughing nettled Willard and while he did not throw his full power into his punches he did have enough force behind them to knock Monahan through the ropes in the second ses- sion and the latter would have fallen ! from the platform but for the assist ance of spectators about the ringside 1 An examination of Willard's cut show i ed it was superficial. He said it would
 be well healed by Friday.
