In the account last week of the 
near-drowning accident at Masco- 
nomo Park, in saying the older Big- 
wood boy urged his younger brother, 
who could not swim, to go in, we 
were a little remiss. The fact is the 
half-dozen or more boys present 
urged the lad to go overboard, and 
when the young chap went under not 
one of the group attempted a rescue 
but the older brother.

Baseball dance in Town Hall to- 
night. 
The date of the annual picnic of 
the Manchester club is Saturday,

day of the second game in the Bey- 
erly-Manchester baseball series, and 
the game will be played at Manches- 
tor

Jolly Seven club at her home Tues-

Bathing Suits at E. A. Leth- 
bridge’s. ady, 
The strong Riversides of Cam- 
bridge will be Manchester’s oppon- 
ents at baseball tomorrow afternoon. 
The Riversides are said to be among 
the strongest teams of their class in 
the suburbs of Boston, and Manches- 
ter fans ought to expect a good game. 
Baseball fans are looking forward 
to the series between the Manchester 
and Beverly teams to start two weeks 
from tomorrow at Beverly. The 
series as arranged will be the best 
two out of three. Beverly expects 
this to run to two games only, it is 
said, the game at Beverly Aug. 7, 
and the game in Manchester Aug. 14. 
Manchester expects the same thing, 
but the views as to who will take 
these two games are quite the re- 
verse. Personally we would like to 
see it carried along to three games. 
Manchester ought to let Beverly 
have the first game, and then take 
the next two. However that may be, 
every Manchester fan ought . to 
make his plans now to go to Mont- 
serrat Saturday, Aug. 7, and help 
start the series right.

street and people crowded every 
available bit of space on the Common 
and immediate vicinity. These con- 
certs are the means of wonderful civic

tion as the Salem Cadet Band.
