victory. I ine score was iieo 1 to 1 up 1 eighth inning when with two out and three on base a throw of Levy's went through Bristol, letting in three runs. In the ninth for Freeport the first two men went out in order, when Tooker was hit on the foot and was given first. Corby walked on four balls and Levy followed with a nice hit over second, scoring Tooker. With two on base it looked as though there was still a chance for the home team but Bristol's grounder was taken care of by Martinez to Orgass, which settled the game.
Diamond Dust
In Saturday's game Freeport had 46 chances without an error.
After the sixth inningjHempstead played like a new team; nothing seem¬ ed impossible for them to get.
Osterhout played great ball in all three games, getting six hits; and his work around second was high class.
There is no getting out of the, fact that Cx)llege Point have an exceptional¬ ly strong team and know the fine points of the game as shown by their playing; their only mi.splaya were by the second baseman who more than made up for it in the latter part of the game.
The Freeport Club will play the Orange A. C. at Ahtletic Park Satur¬ day afternoon at 4 o'clock. This team defeated our club early in the season but we now have a stronger nine and will give them their money's worth. Come and see the game. '

Mr. Almy*s Discovery
Have you found-out you can paint a job with fewer gallons Devoe than of anything else, lead and oil, or anything else?
Mr. Floyd Almy, House and Sign Painter, Greenwich, N, Y., found it out three years ago; he writes: "I have used Devoe lead-and-zinc for the past three years, and cannot say too much in its favor. I am using it now on a big job that I took by contract, and it has saved me at least $25 in the cost of material."
Dpvoe is the strongest paint we know of; goes furthest; takes lees of it.to do your job.
Lead-and-oil is pure; lead-and-zinc U stronger covers more; goes further..
Have you found-out you can paint a gallon Devoe in less time than a gal*. Ion of anything else? That means lesa time for the job. Less time; lesa money.
Less paint: less money for that; leaa time, l«M money for that. Devoe Utata longer; do you mind the leas money im that?   You are surer of ft.
