 Several Gifts

The popular Wa terville boy who has made good in major league baseball played his usual position in right field with the Philadelphia Nationals in their 6-1 victory over the City League while at bat and hit mighty fly to right field the first time up. The latter would normally have been a home run but was taken by Razor Doran who was playing in the ex- treme limit of the outneld.
 Johnny received a number of gifts publicly presented by Mayor Frank Hayes. Among them were an electric urn set from former fellow employees of the Connecticut Light and Power Company, a fishing tackle set from old New Departure shop mates in Bristol, life mem- bership in Court Welch, Foresters of America, and purse of $500 from local admirers and friends.
 During the afternoon, except when playing his position he was surrounded by crowds of boys who sought his autograph. Johnny obliged them in the same manner he has always responded to any re- quests. Following the game the crush became so great that he re- quired an escort of several police men to reach his car.
 Proud spectators at the game in cluded his parents. MT. and Mrs. William J. Moore, his sisters, Miss J Josephine, Margaret and Evelyn Moore, and his brother, Billy Moore, all of Driggs street Water vile and his wife and three chil- dren, Rita, John Jr., and Irving.
