"Y" Drops Wild One
The Plainville Y. NJ. c. A. lost a
wild comedy game to kersington on
the latter teams hill-and-dale field
Saturday afternoon. The official
scorer announced the final tally as
22-21 but long before the last in
ming he was on the verge OF insanity
and the correctness of his figures is
open to suspicion. He is reported as
still alive today but not doing any
too we'll.
Mccormick started in the box for
Kensington and was followed by
Goodrich and Maguda, but none of
them were effective. Holmquist and
Sims caught. Bachman, Comerford,
and about everybody else in the
~" took a turn at pitching for
Plainville. and Catcher Ray Schwab
became so used to seeing new pitch
ers that he expected any minute to
see the umpire toss over a couple.
The fielding was joke, bad bounds
and worse fumbles making anything
good for extra bases.
In the first three innings Ken
sington got away to an So lead, but
Plainville fought back and was be-
hind at only 1911 after five in
nings. During the sixth and seventh
the exhausted players were getting
their second wind and did not score.
In the first half of the eighth Il
Plainville men batted and six runs
scored, but Kensington Immediately
sent IS men to the plate and drove
in eight runs. Plainville tied things
in the ninth, but with nobody out
and the bases full Greco sent a
long hit to the outfield and the win
ming run came in for kensington.
The score by innings:
Plainville o21 $50 064-21 is 6
kensington 1872 40 0S1-22 % IL

Poor Wcathcr-Little Traffic
Despite slippery roads over the
weekend, the smaller volume of
traffic resulted in no accidents in
volving automobiles passing through
Plainville. First Selectman John j.
| Kimmel anticipated this and did
not send out the two constables
for duty at the center and Bios
SONS corner. In the future the!
will be on duty only when fail
weather brings with it the accom-
panying heavy volume of traffic.
Blues Again Rained Out

in Poquonock. The Blues expect to
get into action this weekend
