1t seemed strangely natural to

There were times when she

Two days filled with the

the situation. Most Of the ti1le
he slept. When he did rouse
his words were dreamy and

POST TEAM GETS
 REVENGE IN GAME
Legion Nine Beats GilderSleeVe
 Crew in Return Contest

Revenge is sweet, the saying goes and so the Eddy-Glover post base ball team smacked out a 10 to 4 win over the Gildersleeve town team last night at Walnut Hill park and avenged d 10 3 defeat inflicted on it by the same aggregation in Port land Wednesday night.
 It was an entirely different com bination that took the field for the locals last ight-different in spirit. The entire team pounded the offer ings of Flynn, the right handed visiting twirler. at will and ran up safe lead early in the game. Not content with this. the Manganmen kept smaCking the ball merrily throughout the latter stages Of the game and went so far ahead that 1t was a lost cause for the Gildersleeve outfit.
 Sammy Capodice, twirling for the Legionnaires, kept the bingles Of the visiting stickmen well scattered throughout the nine frames that he toiled on the mound and at the same time turned back ten Of the Glider sleeve batsmen via the strike -out route. He showed excellent control at all times and failed to issue a free pass during the engagement, He hit two Of the visiting players with pitched balls, however.
 Although he equalled Capodice's strikeout record Flynn was unable 10 check the Legion batsmen at critical stages of the game and sev- eral timely delivered blows spelled defeat for him He issued two free tickets 10 first base during the game and hit an opposing batsman.
 The fielding Of the local combine spoiled the fine exhibition that ii was putting up. Rattled because of the presence Of a substitute first base man. the New Britain infeld failed to function with clockhke precision and booted five during the nine frames. Zembroski. the Legion's shortfielder. was the worst offend CT. having three marks chaIked against him m the misplay column.
 After retiring the visitors in the opening sessions with two men on bases, the locals went out and chased two runs across the plate when Ma rino trlpled with a pair of Legion naires occupying the sacks. Both teams were retired without run in the second, Capodice sending the Glldersleeves out on strikes. The losers got man 10 first in their half of the third canto but a New Britain double killing, Zembroski to Peters. retired the side.
 New Britain broke into the run column again in the fourth pushing over q lone counter on a pair Of hits. scored it's first run in the fifth when Pitcher Flynn tripled to left with a teammate on third. The Mapganmen came back in their half of the session and counted three times on four hits. Three more runs were added 10 the locals score in the following inning on a pair of hits and two sacrifices.
 Glldersleeve staged q rally in the seventh and scored twice on some concentrated hitting. Both hines made their final runs in the eighth.
 Roy Haylick, the locals second sacker. turned in the fielding feature Of the game handling five chances without a blob. Eight Of the Le- zion players joined in the hitting at tack, Miller leading with four out Of five trips. McMeken and Flynn led the losers slugging.
 The summary:
