Norwich bulletin., 1920-08-03

were two brief addresses, one by Dep uty john Lehr and the other by ex- Deputy Ferdinand DEsope of Hartford. Both congratulated Putnam tribe on it's splendid showing.
 Had it not been for quick work on the part of Captain John Bulger, of the po- lice department, gypsy fortune teller would have gotten away Monday after noon with $63 that she had stolen from Samuel Renick as she told him of the past, present and future, at his store on Pomfret street. The woman was one of tribe of twenty-five or more gyp- sies that reached Putnam Monday morn ing in three automobiles. According to the story told the police the woman went into Renick's in search of some one who desired to know what lay be- fore him. She talked glibly of her pow CTS and of the things that she could re- veal, and Renick finally agreed to let her tell his fortune. She said money was necessary-he must cross her palm in order that the future might be clearly revealed Renick wanted the future very clear, and so took from his pocket a large roll of bills He grasped the money, but the gypsy said that she must hold it. The money was then plac- ed upon her palm and the fortune tell
 
 was handed back to Renick, and the gyp- sy departed. However, as soon as the fortune teller had left the store, Renick noticed that his wad was somewhat thin, and on counting it found that $63 was missing. He called Captain Bulger who commandeered an automobile and set out in hot chase after the gypsy band which had cranked up, and moved along toward Pomfret. Just before reaching that town the Captain overlook the party and when he confronted the gypsy that had been in Renick's store she admitted the theft, and returned the bills.
 Ragged work in the field spelled de- feat for the Slater WooIen baseball team Sunday afternoon when they came to Putnam for a game on Manhasset field with the team representing the Man hasset company. The final score was 10 to 2. Two bad innings were all that was necessary for the Putnam lads to pile up sufficient scores to give them the game easily. Putnam scored only two earned runs, one of these in the sec ond inning and one in the sixth. All of the remaining tallies were made as consequence of sloppy fielding by the Bay State infielders. Putnam did not deserve such an easy victory, for when the Skaters were handling the ball as it should be handled Putnam runners found themselves unable to make the circuit. Gauthier for the most part pitched Splen- did ball for the visitors and sent twelve Manhasset batsnen back to the bench by the one-two-three route. In the third he put himself in bad hole, however, by allowing Latour, who led off for Putnam, two bagger. Nelson and Dob son followed Latour, and Gauthier hit fba haQ aniak let an easy one sail by him to the back-stop, and Latour scored. Nelson and Dobson crossed when Gauthier fubl- ed the ball on an easy drive by Carey.
 Putnam batted completely around in the sixth, which was the undoing of the Slaters Carey got to first on an error by Gauthier, and went to second when Miller dropped the ball as Gauthier tried to catch him asleep. Caron singled and advanced when Petrovery juggled Cour- noyer's grounder. A passed ball let Caron tally, and Cournoyer scored on< sacrifice fly by Bouley. Gauthier hit Benoit, who went to the second corner when Stepaniak let another of Gauthier's s shoots get away from him. Latour got life at first because Petervey fumbled an easy one, Benoit scoring the fourth run of the inning on the play. hit by Dob son brough Latour home. Plaintier ended the inning by flaming. After thls, the Webster nine never had a look-in They scored one run in the seventh on a fuke play Gauthier was walked and stole Douglas hit a fly to deep left which Dobson got the line on, but as 1t came down it hit a telegraph wire and bounced far to one side. 0authler scored on this.
 Carey played his usual fast game at second, and made a spectacular catch in the first inning. Douglas led the visitors in batting and got two singles. He re- lieved Stepaniak behind the bat in the latter part of the game, and was an inn provement A big crowd was out to see the game and while they were glad to see their favorites romp away with the big end of the score,s they would have enjoyed closer contest more. Manhas- set has a fast team, and are able to meet faster hines than that represent ing the Slater Wooien mill Before the game Manhasset band gave concert at the grounds. The score:
