They were gathered in a tobacco
store the other day and as each of
the four fans were lighting up, the
baseball talk started. "I remember
the time my mother helped make a
home run," said one of the fans rem
iniscently. “The old Putnam team
was playing over on Morse’s lot and
my father and mother were sitting on
the grass down in center field watch
ing the game. Just at a time when
we needed a run the most, one of the
boys made a lonk hit into center
field and it happened that the ball
came rolling towards my mother. My
father thought quickly and pulled the
edge of my mother's dress over the
bull. Don’t move,’ said my father,
and my mother kept still. The center
fielder was hunting in the grass for
the ball and in the meantime the
Putnam boys were going around the
bases. When the last fellow had
crossed the plate, then my father
found the ball."
Three young deer were seen bath
ing one day last week in the Quine
baug river at the ford near the Whea
ton farm, and were a very interesting
spectac’e to passengers on a trolley
car. The motorman stopped the car
long enough ofr the passengers to get
a good view of the animals which
were not much larger than a shep
herd dog.
