In these days of long-distance 
swimmers about which we read much 
in the papers, we note Manchester 
has one who would vie with many 
noted swimmers for honors if the op- 
portunity were presented. She is Miss 
Ruth Spry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
William Spry, Morse Court. On 
Sunday, a fortnight ago, she 
swam from Town Wharf, in the cen- 
ter of the town, to Singing Beach, an 
estimated distance of four and one 
half miles in two hours and ten min- 
utes. The water was colder than us- 
ual and the sea was rough, after the 
outer harbor was reached. She was 
accompanied by her father and by 
Gordan Cool and Thomas Marsh in 
a boat. Very few people knew of 
the feat which may be counted upon 
as one of the best ever performed by 
a swimmer hereabouts, especially one 
so young as fifteen years.

MANCHESTER WINS SERIES 
DEFEATED BEVERLY FARMS IN FINAL — 
GAME LAsT SATURDAY BY 
SCORE OF 5 TO 4. 
(Written for the Breeze) 
At the Beverly Farms playground 
last Saturday Manchester took the 
deciding game of the inter-town 
series, winning five to four, after a 
very thrilling game exciting through 
the various misplays of the Manches- 
ter team. The Manchester team won 
because of their sharp and timely 
hitting and splendid pitching of Groy- 
er. ‘The Manchester pitcher not only 
had the Farms batters to contend 
with, but eight cheap errors made on 
easy ‘chances by his own players. This 
fact alone is all that kept the game 
from being one-sided. 
Grover’s work, without a doubt, 
was one of the gamest exhibitions of 
pitching seen in this section for a 
long time. He kept the hits well 
scattered, the first inning being the 
only one the Farms batters could get 
two in an inning. Beverly Farms’ only 
earned run came in this inning on a 
triple by Hopkins, followed by Hill- 
ery’s two base hit. 
In the field, for the Farms, Gold- 
smith, secured from the Beverly Pro- 
gressives, played a fine fast game. At 
the bat he made two hits,—a timely 
single and a scratch hit to the infield 
barely beating the throw to first. He 
covered third base in good style. 
Mueller in center field played an ex- 
cellent game, pulling down several 
hard chances. 
Perkins, the Farms catcher, had 
his little finger broken (right hand 
“Tip,” not left) early in the game, 
but continued in spite of this handi- 
cap and caught his usual fine game. 
Besides Grover’s fine pitching for 
Manchester the playing of O’Leary at 
third, and Gott at first was a treat. 
Frankie’s throwing to first base was 
surely cause for much deserved 
praise. At the bat, Bond for Man- 
chester did considerable heavy hiting, 
getting three hits, one of them a 
triple. 
Of course, according to all laws of 
statistics, mathematics and precedent 
Manchester had no license to win this
