Summer bellies:
What a plentitude of heartaches their
giddiness compels;
How they giggle, giggle, giggle,
In the sea-breeze-laden night.
How their victims squirm and wriggle
In an ecstacy of fright.
How they hurt
When they firt,
When with ghoulish glee they gloat
On the suuirming of a fellow when
they have him by the throat.

How they conjure, scheme and plan
To entrap the Summer-man,

Soda water, everything,
From the pockets of those "Cash!'

To compel the pleasing ring,

In the fifth he caught, on the run, a fly from the bat of Smith that would have been good for q three-bagger. Ravenelle drew a big hand from the fans, but not so great as he did in the ninth when Fournier was caught try ing to make the home plate. Riley had poled the ball to deep left. In a flash Ravenelle had winged the pill to home, sending it direct to Nelson, who easily tagged the runner out. It was a perfect throw. Friel, with a two-bagger and two singles, took the hitting honors for the winners.
 McElroy pitched good ball for the home club, flaming nine batters and allowing but seven hits. Riley pitched we'll for the visitors, keeping the ' 'e players within bounds until the eighth, and then things happened so

GET POOR SUPPORT,
 CANCEL HOME GAMES
Nightingale Juniors to Play Out of Town Saturdays
 Hereafter

The Nightingale Juniors are through with Saturday afternoon ball, as far as staging games on the Main street diamond is concerned. The team is not meeting expenses, so it. has been decided to play out of town games, rather than continue to lose money with home games. Poor sup port on the part of the fans is the reason for the discontinuance of games on the local diamond.
 Last Saturday afternoon the Juniors engaged the At.awaugan team on the Main street grounds and lost 9 to 8. The contest went along smoothly until about the sixth, when Manager Lorion, believing the game to be snugly tucked away for the locals, made several changes in his lineup to give some anxious players a chance to show their wares. Said players went to pieces, utterly, turn ing in so many errors that Attawau- gan romped away with the victory.
 John Caffrey, catching for Putnam, was run into by an Attawaugan play CT, accidentally, and was stunned for a few minutes. He rallied and finish ed the game.
