Connery and Schroeder were the bat 1 tery for the visitors. Yesterday aft l ernoon they were defeated by the Col linsville nine in that town by the close score of to 4. It was an II inning game Phelps, Griffin and Clinton were the battery for RlainvilIe and l Runnel of Hartford and Kilduff of New Britain was the battery for Col linsville. The management of the Plainville A. c. feels that should the | support of the local fans fall short as it has been noticed during the past | few games, it may be possible that all ] games will have to be discontinued. l When the season opened there was l decided interest displayed at all games but it apparently has fallen off. The Aces were defeated Saturday afternoon at a fast game at East Glas- l tonbury by the score of to 4. This is the third league game that the Aces have lost but does not place them lower in the standing.
