KACEYS SHUTOUT TkFTvILLE
TOO MUCH

Tattvilles fond hopes to be consid- cred a world beating baseball team were considerably shattered Sunday afternoon when they crashed against ast-going Norwich K. of c. team, and were sent back to the village white washed by a score of 1 to Q. There was little delay at the opening of the game caused by Taftville's insistence upon tossing up for the right to take the field for the first inning. Such a thing is entirely unheard of since the home club is always entitled to this privilege In order to pacify affairs a coin was tossed and Norwich took the held.
 The rooters on both sides were at a nigh pitch during the entire game, and were very enthusiastic ln applaudlnS inc various plays Of the game. Taft ville's band of royal rOoters were very noisy al the beginning of the contest, o1t their voices got a little weak to- wards the later innings.
 Both teams were anxious to come put on the long end of the score and this was evidenced by the scientific way in which they went about plays. McGiu was knocked out of the box in the third inning and gave way to Fly man Red" went out to right field and contributed some fine fielding gems.
 Norwich outplayed Taftville in every department of the game, and easily excelled in the pitching honors.
 Murphy opened up the game by hit ting a slow roller to Hayes, and was safe on a questionable decision at first. Caron sacrificed. Murphy went to third on Dugas' grOunder to Daust. Prospects were bright for Taftville when Lyman hit a liner over second that was labeled for a single, but Gallagher made a spectacular catch retiring the side.
 In the Norwich half of the inning Murray was passed. Gallagher laid iown a pretty bunt and beat it out Austin sacrificed. Kelliher hit the first ball pitched on a line passed first base scoring Murray and Gallagher -Kelli- her out stealing second. Berger sin EIed over second. Hayes struck out Two runs.
 There was no more scoring until the third inning. when Norwich scored the last two runs of the game. Gallagher struck out. Austin drew a pass and scored Kelliher. Hayes was passed. McGin then handed the pitching duties over to Lyman who retired the side by 2 strikeout and an infield fly.
 Taftv:lle had two fine chances to score. In the second inning Decelles tried to score from first on Mills hit 10 left but was caught at home by five feet. l. was one of the best plays of the afternoon for the throw was per feet and Berger handled it in fine form. Tine other chance for Taftville to score came in the eighth. With only one out and men on second and third things looked rosy but Daust frightened up and

AMERICAN THREAD co.
 LOSSES AT ROCKNII I E


 The American Thread Company base ball team lost to "Chet" Waite's az gregation of all-stars at Rockville Sat urday afternoon, to 1 in well play ed and interesting game. Lindstrom, who started in the box for the thread makers was as wild as a hawk and in the two innings and a fraction that he worked gave out five passes and winged a batter. One hit was made off his de- livery by Lehrmitt. Fast fielding by the local infelders kept the score down to one run in the first and a speedy dou- ble play saved his bacon in the second. After he had walked the first man to face him in the third, LindGtrom vas re- placed by Herb" Gill who tw;rled a fancy article of ball the remainder of the game. Lindstrom's pass in the first of the third was converted into run, it being followed by wild pitch. a sac rifce hit and Roach's single to right. In the seventh Jerry" Conway caught a toe hold on one of Gnl's fioaters and hoisted it over the fight field fence for home run.
 The locals only score came in the opening inning, Edgar drawiSg a pass, taking second on a wild pitch, stealing through short. The locals outhit Rock vile to and had chances enough to score but couldn't come through with the bingle when most needed.
