Norwich bulletin., 1921-08-01

Because of the thunder storm that hit Westerly just before noon Sunday. the baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the Westerly K. C. team had to be postp ned. 1ae big leaguers arrived in Westerly on the noon train, and the rain started to fall shortly after they stepped on the station platform. There were sixteen men in the squad. including every regular on the team with the ex- coption Of Scott and Funny. Comerford and 6agnon who were to play with the kaceys, came in on the same train. The postponement was q disappointment to the thousands of local fans who were planning to see the game but the grounds were too wet for baseball at 1 o'el-ck, and the visitors returned to Boston on the 2.05. Secretary Larry Grav- CT of the Red Sox offered the k. of C. management a date in September. and it 1 is thought that the two teams will meet l on the fourth of that month. McInnes | and Pratt were anxious to appear In the | lineup of tte Kaceys Sunday next and perhaps t4ey wiil be secured fer that date l so that the fans will ge an opportunity
 to see them in the Bradford game.
 The th.nder storm not only caused the postponement of the baseball game, but raised havoc at the nearby resorts. Watch Hill seemed to be hardest hit. and there a regular hurfican prevailed. Trees were upreoted, tops Of automobiles
 demolished. and three or four columns in front of the line of stores on Bay street, were moved on their foundation. The lightning was vivid and the thunder snappy, accompanied by rain, and a
 shower of hahstones as big as marbles The atmosphere became almost as dark
 as night and all the electricity was shut
 off to prevent damages. Trolley service was at a standstill for nearly two hours
