The baseball game between the 
Essex boys and the Universalists re- 
sulted in a score of 8 to 6 in favor 
of the Universalists. Essex’ favor- 
ite pitcher, Lufkin had an off day. 
E. W. Lander, our veteran ton- 
sorial artist, attended the annual re- 
union of the 4th Mass. Battery and 
the 50th Mass. Association at Ha- 
verhill on Thursday. Mr. Lander 
reports a grand good time with the 
boys. 
In the first inning the Universalists 
made four runs and no one out when 
Fletcher Low was called to the box. 
They went out in one, two, three or- 
der and made but four more runs 
the rest of the game. Essex went to 
bat and Fletcher Low knocked out 
a home run. The game which fol- 
lowed was played in a high class 
manner, but the Univerlasists’ lead 
was too great to be overcome and 
they went home highly elated. This 
practically puts Essex out of the 
running for the pennant. 
Miss Maidie Polleys and Miss 
Addie Hobbs have recently returned
