Mr. and Mrs. Hession of Lowell 
were in town yesterday to spend the 
day. Mrs. Hession will be best re- 
membered by her Manchester friends 
as Miss Keefe, the New York dress- 
maker, who came nere for so many 
summers. | 
“Stuffy” McInnes, of Gloucester, 
the star first-baseman of the Philadel- 
phia Athletes, who is home on ac- 
count of the illness of his mother, 
has been putting in some time at the 
Manchester playground: diamond this 
week, keeping in trim and incidentally 
giving the Manchester boys sore 
timely instructions on how to play the 
game. “Stuffy’’ was on Manchester’s 
bench at last Saturday’s ga ve, and ‘x 
probably will be again tomorrow. 
One of the largest daneing parties 
of the summer was the in\itation par- 
ty given in the Town Hall Wednesday 
evening by Mrs. Filbee, wiose hus- 
band is butler at the McMillan su »- 
mer home in Manchester. Mrs. Fil- 
bee proved a charming hostess and 
everyone had a most delightful even- 
ing. The music was excellent and the 
dancing was greatly enjoyed. Miss 
McDonald of the Oceanside Hotel, 
Magnolia, one of the most accom- 
plished dancers seen in the Town Ha'l 
this season, gave a splendid and * ost 
_artistic interpretation of some of the 
latest steps, with Mr. Kerr of the 
Oceanside as partner. Miss McDon- 
ald is considered one of the finest 
dancers of these modern steps. cutsite

and again for her perforrance Wed- 
nesday evening. 
“Stuffy’” McInnis, who is hone on 
account of the serious illness of ‘1s 
mother, watched the game fron fhe 
Manchester bench and did some coacn- 
ing that was of material assistance to 
the Manchester team, There was con- 
siderable conjecture in some quarters 
as to who this well posted stranger 
was, and it was not until the game 
was nearly over tnat they learned that 
it was the best first baseman in base- 
ball, a man who has been on ‘the 
championship team for four years, 
and under Connie Mack, one of the 
greatest managers the game has ever

Umpire Lonc’s Notes oN THE MAN- the Manchesters and the players ap- 
CHESTER-BEVERLY GAME. preciate the spirit, 
Sporting Editor Long of the Salem The Manchester team of Saturday 
News, who umpired behind the bat, was a different team fron the one of a 
comrents on the Beverly-Manchester 
game last Saturday, as follows 
Fans who are missing the Manches- 
ter and Beverly series do not know 
what they are passing up. The writer 
has seen college and High — school 
cheering sections but if any of them 
have anything on the incessant rooting 
of the Manchester contingent, he has 
tc be shown. 
Whether their team is behind or in 
front the Manchester fans are there 
strong with the vocal chords and it 
is worth the price of admission to 
listen to them root. One sitting 19 
the stands cannot help being caught in 
the wave of enthusiasm and root for 
Manchester. 
It might be thought by an outsider 
that the rooting comes from the male 
element, but of the crowd of 1500 
there must uave been 500 of the gent- 
ler sex in. attendance at the game and 
they were not quiet either. Horns 
and other noise producing  imple- 
ents were ‘© season and they were 
used. 
Each player on the Manchester 
team was epolaaded when he came ft» 
the bat. Such a following and such 
-ooting makes ef a pleasure to play for 
week previous. They went after the 
game at the start and their playing 
for bunts was a caution. Nota bunt 
got through the infield yesterday. 
Even Grover, who is a star twirler 
but woefully weak on fielding his posi- 
tion, showed a decided improvement. 
He still had the fault of picking up a 
grounder and then running to first but 
tossing the ball before ue reached the 
bag. 
‘he Manchester fans had heart fail- 
ure twice when the big twirler pulled 
off that stunt. If he would pick the 
ball up and throw it with sone speed 
to first it would look better for him 
and also be safer. Many ball games 
have been lost on those little tosses to 
first. Safety first is a good motto. 
The fielding stunts performed Sat- 
urday may have been equalled in the 
big leagues but they will remain in 
the minds of the fans who witnessed 
the game. 
Considerable sugar changed hancs 
again and when the next game 1s 
played at Beverly Saturday there 
should be some action. Manchester is 
an exceptional town for a ball team 
and after last week’s game the players 
can have the best that is procurable.
