to Manning who fielded the ball while Rrogan landed on third and Mckay at second and Wik on first, With the bases full Putnam came to bat and after getting one strike and ball on him took a mighty swing at the ball there was a crack and the ball shot through the diamond between first and second to the center fielder and Brogan came romping in with the winning tal- ly.
 Taken as a hole the game was one of the prettiest and cleanest ever wit messed in Norwich and from the first showings of the local club there is othing in these parts that can be con- Sidered in the same class with the To- cal boys. Every position with perhaps the first base and right field are held down by first class men. The team IS a hard hitting aggregation and after a few more games together should be able to play good baseball as any semi-pro team in the country.
 Canavan proved himself to be all that he was represented. He has a world of speed and some wicked breaks on the ball. As a batter he is no mean sticker as was shown Sunday, he get ting a two bagger, a single and a pass in five trips to the plate. Kellerher as he was last year proved himself the idol of the fans. In the field he played star game and with the stick he collected a triple, a two-bagger and two singles in six trips to the plate
 Canavan struck out 15 men and gave three passes. Arthur struck out eight men and issued two passes.
 Bergen on the receiving end was in the best of condition and played his usual steady and brainy work. The score:

ACADEMY TAKES A FALL OUT OF
 THEIR OLD RIVAL, BULKELEI

New London, May S.-A large crowd Of New London fans turned out to view the opening of the new Morgan park baseball yard Saturday afternoon and were not a little disappointed when Eddie McKay's Academy boys obtained to 3 decision over BulkeIey High. Before the first inning was over it was clear to all that Norwich had the better team. Bulkeley, however, fought gamely every inch of the way but 1t was uphill work with Hicthon hurling a masterly game and with the impregnable N. F. A. infleld sccoping up the grassers like leaguers.
 Hitchon pitched fin egame for N+ F. A, allowing only six well-scattered safe ties and not issuing asingle pass. Itch is coming along in grat style and can be depended to turn in his share of wins this spring.
 On the other hand Zepp, the long Bulkeley heaver was given a rather rough reception by the Norwich batters, They found him for F hits which yielded five runs and would have counted for more, but the lads became 8 little too confident and were rather reckless on the bases at times.
 N F. A now stands at the head of the league with two wins and no defeats. They have yet to try their strength on Vocational, who is said to have an ex- ceptionaIly strong team this year. As usual Whitney the effervescent third sacker played strong game and had a very busy afternoon handling eleven | chances, with but one unimportant nis- cue. Lol Murray led the attack with three singles in five trips to the rubber. l Smith. the Bulkeley left gardelA,r. was | star of his battalion, both in the field and on the firing line.
 | N. F. A. got away to flying start Whit opened the game by beating out a slow roller. Young did the same but Whit was caught trying to make third on the play. Capt Joe Paradis next 1 rolled out a slow one and reached first safely Young reaching third base. Joe stole second. Tanning then squeezed Young in Paradis brought in No. : when Peck dropped the throw at first after Lyons made a pretty stop of Mur- rays grounder

Used Mask a Long Time

Umpire Bill Brennan was talking be- fore a game the other day. Well" he said, q hate to think about it. but guess I'll have to begin to get rid of Betsy. hate to part with her be- cause she's been with me for a long time-12 or 15 years l should say. She was with me in the minor leagues, in the National league, the Federal league down in the southern league, and here we are again-Betsy and I back in the major leagues. But she's almost done and I'll have to discard her pretty soon." Betsy is not a girl. Nor is she a dog or a horse. She" is a heavy wire mask. designed by Bill. and used by him through all his trips in baseball.

Fletcher is no longer young but gave promise of several more years infast company. In the meantime R.
