Baseball Notes.
bdSSbdlI dplhly lIit Il
vile team was recognized in Portland
Saturday afternoon when the locals
took hard fought victory by the
score of to 4. 1t was the best game
the team played this season.
Plainville is playing a series with
Portland for the championship of
the Connecticut Interstate league.
The locals won in their division as
did the Portland aggregation in their
section and the two are now fighting
it out.
1t is probable. however. that Plain
vile baseball fans will have to pay
for their lack of support to the team
during the past season by virtue of
the fact that all the games may be
staged in Portland. On Saturday there
were perhaps 500 or 700 person at
were perhaps 500 or 700 persons at
field it is fortunate to have so. Natur-
ally the receipts from 700 are better
than from the so and therefore the
local team would be foolish to lose
money just to play in Plainville. If
Plainville will play the next game in
Portland, the team there has guaran-
teed a crowd of 1000 people and a
sum of money which would clear the
debt of the local team and add a nice
stipend fo-' the reserve portion of the
treasury. The local management is
expecting to hear from local fans,
saying whether they want the game
here or in Portland.
ANY communication forwarded to
the local mana gers signed by enthu-
siastic fans will guarantee them a fast
game at the local grounds this Sat
urday providing they assure the man
agement a good attendance. This will

to show their sporting blood and their
support to the team.
Caucus Tonight.
All roads will lead to the town hall
tonight at o'clock when the repub-
licans will hold n caucus. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be some sur
prising results and many are of the
opinion that a general shake-up in the
towns officers will he seen tomorrow
However, as it stands now, from the
viewpoint of many prominent men, the
town is pretty well balanced politically
and opinions differ as to what the
change will be. During the past years,
the present selectmen have discharged
the duties of their offices with good
will and have served in their respec-
tive positions faithfully. 1t is not be-
1ieved therefore, that any great change
will he seen in this department AS
for the constables, a better system
could not be had. All these men have
acted to the best of their judgment in
the capacity of their cuties and their
unanimous reelection will be the best
thing that could be done. The other
offices will be in the same position
should the present holders be appoint |
ed again, and it is possible that the |
maj1rity of the voters will follow this |
rule.
The women will show their author |
ity at the caucus tonight according to |
tho reports. and will hand in their |
ballots as their right provides for them |
to do. This will mean something else |
