GAME A TIE 
BEVERLY FARMS AND PROGRESSIVES 
Catt, GAME WITH SCORE 5 TO 5 
One of the gamiest exhibitions of 
baseball seen at Beverly this season 
was that of last Saturday afternoon 
when the Farms nine crossed bats 
with the Progressives on Beverly 
Common. It was the third game be- 
tween the two teams and the second 
to end in a tie. 
“Jimmie” Travers of the Indian- 
apolis Federals, who pitched against 
the Farms team when these two teams 
met before, was on the firing line for 
the Progressives, but was inclined to 
be wild. On the other hand “Hop” 
McNair, was in brilliant form, fan- 
ning eleven batters and allowing only 
three hits in six innings, at which time 
he was forced to retire owing to the 
fact that he received a sprained ankle 
in the first half of the sixth by sliding 
into third base. “Bill” Harty, of last 
year’s Gloucester High team, was sent 
to the mound and did exceptionally 
well, having the honor of fanning 
seven men in less than four innings. 
The Farms boys took the lead 
early in the game and were leading 
4 to 1 until the eighth inning, when 
hits by Low, ‘Walizer, Phoenix, 
Travers, Griffiths, Herron and Gold- 
smith was responsible for not only 
tying up the game, but put the “pols” 
ahead by one run. With the sun fad- 
ing away and darkness coming on the 
Farms team came to bat. McPher- 
son slammed one for a single, “Pat” 
Parsons placed the ball in the outfield 
for a safe blow; Muller fanned, John 
Sudbay went out, Travers to Griffiths. 
With two out, the score in favor of 
the Progs, 5 to 4, the fans diminished 
but Travers, who passed only ten men 
during the afternoon, sent his spitter 
towards the plate, it went by Fletcher 
Low, who was catching in place of 
Douglas Baker in the eighth, and Mc- 
Pherson came home with the life sav- 
er for the Farms team. 
When the Progressives came to bat 
it was dark and Low, Walizer, 
Phoenix went out in order and then 
the game was called, with the score 
5 to 5. 
Catcher Everett Perkins of the 
Farms team, showed his usual heady 
playing which has been a feature of 
the work of the Farms team this sea; 
son, and many runs were stopped 
from coming across the pan through 
his excellent work. 
The two teams will meet again this 
Saturday afternoon at Beverly Farms.

NEWSPAPER IMAGINATION 
In these days of wild rumors and 
sensational headlines, it is little won- 
der the public appreciates the Boston 
Evening Transcript’s policy of always 
adhering to its high standard of news 
service to the public. There are no 
big theadlines based on unconfirmed 
rumors. Carefully edited and ana- 
lyzed news, invaluable to those who 
want the real facts of the war, is 
given each day. Many new readers 
have been added to the Transcript’s 
circulation because they appreciate 
the character of its news and the way 
it is presented. If you appreciate all 
the news that is real news, not scare 
heads, supplemented by many feat- 
ures as interesting as those of any 
magazine, you-should give the Even- 
ing Transcript a trial. All requests 
for sample copies are filled on receipt

NAME PLEASE? 
It is a rule of this as well as all 
other papers to accept nothing for 
publication without knowing from 
what source the communication 
comes. The name is asked for, not 
for publication, but merely as a matter 
of good faith. Only when requested by 
the sender, are names published. 
We make mention of this matter at 
the present time because of a com- 
munication received Monday signed 
“One-a-Subscriber,” coming apparent- 
ly from a dis-gruntled baseball fan. 
Because of the incoherent reasonings 
the evident lack of knowledge of 
baseball, and the veiled threats, we 
do not see how we can consistently 
put the communication in print, 
though we shall be glad to next week, 
if we are privileged to know who is 
the author. 
The party was mislead in the first — 
place in accusing the editor of writing 
the account! of the Manchester-Beverly 
Farms game twoweeks ago. Thearticle 
plainly stated at the top that it was 
“written for the Breeze.’ We would 
like to inform the correspondent, too, 
that he shows little knowledge of 
baseball when he thinks “tb” in the 
box score means “times at bat.” It 
means “total bases,” and “times at 
bat” is designated by “ab,” 
As to “that dirty account of the 
ball game” we defy anyone to show 
us wherein the article did not give the 
Farms team and individual players 
just as good a “write up” and men- 
tion them just as frequently and im- 
partially as the Manchester players. 
The editor read the article over very 
carefully when it was submitted to 
him and he felt the two teams were 
properly written up. What our 
friend probably takes offence at is the 
last part of the article in which the 
writer in the Breeze takes someone 
to task for articles appearing in a con- 
temporary publication weeks previous 
to the series relative to the Manches- 
ter players. We would like to ask 
our “Once-a-Subscriber” friend how 
he would feel about the articles re- 
ferred to if the shoe were on the 
other foot and the articles related to 
“Hop” McNair, Perkins, Johnny 
Sudbay, Hillery, or any other of the 
boys. The Manchester boys felt 
pretty sore about these articles when 
they appeared and they can’t be 
blamed for wanting to print some 
sort of a reply to them in some paper. 
Now if any Beverly Farms fan 
wants to put in his version of it the 
editor will be more than glad to print 
the letter but we must know (priv- 
ately, at least) who the communica- 
tion comes from.
