 Baseball is over in Stafford for an
 other year. The season was ended
 with the game which was played in
 Hydeville Sunday, and very success
 ful season it was, one of the best in . the baseball history of the town. The
 boys had the pep, the management got
 the games and the public backed them
 and supplied the money, combina- tion which always assures success. The
 teams greatest triumph this season
 was over their old and this year for
 midable rivals from Monson. After
 defeating them they could have afford
 ed to lose number of games without
 endangering their laurels, but they
 did no such thing. Wherever they played they were out to win, and in- . varatly they did, losing but of the
 22 games played this year. They were all instrumental at one time or an-
 other in making this record, but
 among those who were more promi-
 nent throughout the season are Cere-
 go, Wise and Gilman, battery that
 was hard to beat, Dickey with his big
 stick and Calchera, the bright light of
 the field. The boys and management
 join in thanking the people for their
 support during the season. They are
 resolved that vote of thanks be given
 to all who aided in making the season
 successful, to Joseph Brunelle, who
 safeguarded gear and apparatus, and
 to Richard Murray for booking statis- tics. So endeth the tale of a great
 baseball year, and may we look for
 ward to another success in 1920.
