TAFTVILLE A. A. AND BALTIC A. A.
 CLASH ON THE FOURTH

Mike NTorin will be turning the grindstonea all day today (Monday4 sharpening up the battle axe to be used by Taftyille A. A. against Baltic when they meet on the Providence Street grounds Tuesday morning. It will be remembered that the last time these two teams crossed bats on the Baltic grounds, the game went some eleven innings and excitement ran high until Taftville was pronounced the vic- tor. Since that time local fans have been calling for a game with Baltic on the home grounds, and to import some good stuff, the manaement of the Taftville A. A., has acceded to their demands and has booked a game for Tuesday morning. Undoubtedly, Taftville will use Mike against Bal tic, and as usual he will be capably assisted by Catcher Belair. With. one or two minor changes the balance of the organization will be kept intact. According to the most reliable in- formation reaching town, Lefty Dowd will probably preside in hte center of the diamond for Baltic and Stockton will be the other 50 per cent. of the battery. Experts who have been fol- lowing up the performances of the ri- val teams are predicting that the fur will fly when the meet is staged, and there will be a large crowd on the grounds. which will no doubt be aug mented by a delegation of loyal root CTS from Baltic. At present Mike is in the pink of condition and has all his men up to 110 proof, so that any or ganizatlon that has aspirations of taking away the laurels will have to show some fighting blood and speedy action.

 There seems to be some misunder- standing as regards the big water carni-
 val which the local baseball team is
 staging, and the management gives the
 following information:
 The events known as open events are
 open to all corners. The Jewett City
 events are, open only to Jewett City con.
 testants. There are only two event: closed to Ashland employees, the prizes
 for the latter being provided by the treas j urer, the agent and the superintendent
 All other prizes were made possible bS
 the local business men and the baseball
