Residents of tbe village feel that this is perhaps the most important tbing tbat bas happened in the devel¬ opment pf the village up to the present time.

^ ponents bave been, by far, stronger than ever before, yet the team won eleven straight gamea before they met defeat at the hands nf the strong Hckory F. C. in a very close and ex¬ citing game by a score of seven to five.
The success of the team, lo a certain degree, ia undoubtedly due to the fact that Samuel Seaman, the eaptain, has been able to play the players in tbeir same positions game after game, the team having been greatly handicapped in former seasons by tbe numerous changes. Practically the only change that was neceaaary was when Seaman, Valentine and Baldwin alternated in the pitcher's box. When Baldwin pitched Seaman played aecond, and when Seaman pitched Apeler changed to second and Baldwin to first and when Valentine pitched Baldwin play¬ ed in the field. Everyone on the team played tbeir poaition in great style playing together all the time, a thing that spelled success. The seasons' record was won 19 and lust 9. The financial end bas been fairly good and tbe club wiahea to thank all tboae who have helped make it so. The club un¬ derstands that the ladies of the Will¬ ing Workers are planning to give a dance sometime during the winter, the proceeds of which will go to the   clob.
