 The Merchants trampled upon the Clerks, 10 to 3, in Hyde Park Thursday afternoon. At no time did the clerks make any bid for victory, finding it exceedingly hard to dent the delivery of the Merchants moundsman, l.. w. Zelz, formerly of Norwich, proprietor of the Campo store in Main street. Prouty was the only Clerk who exhib- ited any kind of ability with the stick. His fielding also was quite fast. Zaike, who pitched for the Clerks, was very weak, perhaps from too severe practice. His serving was broken by many healthy hits. These two teams will combine next Thursday afternoon to battle with the Wiilbees of Willing ton.
 At the Harvard interscholastis games, held in Cambridge, Mass, Sat urday, William Comins entered three events and took one first and two second prizes. Most of the prep schools in New England sent their best men to these games. Waterman of Phillips Exeter proved to be Con- ins' strongest rival. In the 100 yards dash Waterman took first with Comins scarcely three feet behind him. Will liam evened up the score by beating Waterman to the tape in the 22O yards dash. In the running broad jump Comins took second place. The vic tors jump was little over 20 feet. Comins jumped 21 feet in the final leap but it was discredited because he had overstepped the mark.

 pitching for the locals, blanked the
 Colonials of Hartford Monday after
 noon on the Hyde Park diamond, and | while the white-washing was going on
 his team tallied thirteen times. The
 game blew up in the third inning when
 six runs were. made. From then on
 Stafford seemed to make runs at will
 even though the visitors used three | different pitchers. In the seventh in
 ming second six runs were made
 The odd run came in in the fourth
 Pallanck was put in the lineup for
 the first time this season. He was | placed on third and covered his sec | tion in first class style. Judging by his work in this, his first game with
