! field try and defeat our local team and what a strong opposition they would rave given the local team. The l Irish-Americans scored one run in the first inning, and P.-R. club got a | goose egg, but the boys were confident of beating out this outfit from Mass. The game was called in the second inning on account of darkness and rain This would have been a fine game if only played out, but on August 14 this team will again cross bats and try and defeat the P.-R team. Next Sunday at Hyde Park the Wizards of Springfield will be the | opponents and a fast team with a good record will be good attraction. The Baptist Church to raise $500 i'm two weeks. weeks campaign in which to raise $500 for the purpose of rebuilding the church shed and make some necessary repairs to the barn. The shed was built soon after the church was com pleted and is now over hundred years old, and to this day is rendering valuable service, but the weight of ice and snow of two winters ago damaged it badly. Not only do the members of the church shelter their teams on sun day morning, but people out of town who on weekdays come on business or pleasure often rest their teams or will leave their automobiles under the shed. It is therefore not deemed ad- visable to decrease the present ac- commodations by building fewer stalls. The foundation will be of con- crete, and when completed the shed will practically be as good as new, and will improve the appearance or the church property. It is hoped that the many friends of the baptist people as we'll as every member of the church will contribute to raise this amount The pastor in his notices last Sunday morning said that contributions from five to fifty dollars would soon term1- nate the campaign, and one member has promised to give fifty dollars. The solicitors are Rev. F. w. ThOlen, George Rhodes, Mrs. Henry Thresher and Mrs. Marc Hatch.
