 tackle it's great Bridgeport rival, the American Chain Company team Sun

 best drawing cards that appear in
 Hartford every season. They returned
 home with the bacon last year after
 a great game, to 3. Kid Sherwood
 who plays short, saved the game for
 his team in the ninth inning, when
 the Hartfords loomed up big, having
 two on with none down, when Lan-
 ming smashed one through the box,
 which was labeled a, hit, but Sher-
 wood speared it with the gloved hand
 as the ball hoped over the midway

 peg to first nailed Lanning. This com

 Polls two years ago, to 2. The

 as last year, all of the players being
