lures of Annual Event
 Two unfortunate injuries in the ball game of the afternoon detracted only slightly from the pleasure of the outing. field day and dance of the H K H. silk Company employees last Saturday at Wildwood Park.
 Tn the third inning of the game i William Becker. second baseman of the New York home office team, with whom the local plant workers were staging their annual match was Tn col lision with Francis Murphy, Putnam left fielder. at the midway sack and suffered a fracture of the collarbone. The metropolitan team was in the field Murphy reached first and | started on a steal of second. Becker was apparently in the baseline, and in the resulting collision both men ! fell, Becker underneath. When 1t was seen that he was injured. other play CTS helped him of the field and he was taken to the Day kimball Hospital. In the sixth inning Steve Nelch, another New Yorker, in making a throw from short field to first base threw his shoulder out of position and had to leave the game. At this junc- ture the contest was called with Put nam leading by a seven to one score
 Superb pitching by John Caffrey was the feature of the ball game. The Putnam twirler allowed only one hit in the six innings and struck out eight batsmen The single blow. however. was a double off the bat of kirchner. visiting first baseman, and came with man on third by virtue of a walk, steal and wild pitch Thus the visit OTIS scored the only run of the game. while Putnam tallied four times in five innings. and thrice more in the sixth before the game was called with only one man out There is little doubt but that tho home team would have won by decisive score had the game been completed
 Carl Nelson's two base hit in the opening frame scored Dupre with the initial run In the fifth inning the locals next scored 4 double by MOr- ln. single by Courtemarche. Milton s error on q ball from Caffrey bat. and Murphy's three base blow resulted in three scores. Putnam batters contin- ued their heavy hitting against J. Welsh delivery in the sixth and final frame, three safe blows. a walk and an error chasing three men across the plate and ieaving two on bases as the game closed.
