 other welters in grabbing the title
 we ask?
 It seems to be generally accepted that the local kaceys as | bascbai team, look pretty sweet, just now With victory over the speedy Win. sted team to its credit. the locals vii no doubt be heard from if the brand of baseball showed last Sunday is con. tinued.

 in so doing showed plenty of fight and pep.
 George Lawson emulated the great Bambino yesterday by rapping out Il home run, and in the ninth inning with one on base. The clout gave the the contest.
 Voight, of the Printers team, pulled q Joe Murphy" when he slid past the midway sack, and was tagged out.

 The Trojan baseball nine was scheduled to play in Southington last Sunday against the All-Ind ustrial nine. The crew that went ovel to the town from this city under the name of the Trojans, certainly put damp CT on the chances of any other teams from this city playing there. It is said by the management of the Southington team, that a second rate team was sent over there, and the spectators were disgusted with the showing.
 Needless to say, the local team or imitation of team, whichever it was, was beaten by big score, but the harm was done by the manner in which the local team laid down. The outfielders stretched themselves full length on the ground and refused to chase the balls hit towards them, and the infeld failed to play ball. The people in Southington who paid their good money to see an exhibition like that, are off New Britain teams.
 The Corbin team was scheduled to | play in Southington next Sunday, but it is doubtful now whether the South ington team will chance having an | other New Britain team in that town | for some weeks to come. So much | for the sportsmanship displayed by the Trojans.
