D^pite the fact tiiat Bellmore lost the game on the home grounds Ijabor Day, it was a well-played •game and some rattling good plays were made. They had an imported pitcher who started off ixwrly, but struck out nina men during the game. Smith played a fine game. His fielding and stick work was to the good without doubt. Sea" man played good ball too, but would have given a better account of himseif were he in the box. I like this man's
him and don't get tired easily. Funder- stand that Meritt|(ss) is coming up as a pitcher and will shine in'that position next season.
