Three 
Things are 
Very much needed 
In Manchester for the 
More complete enjoyment of 
Out-of-door life — some _ bleachers 
at the play-ground, an enlarged band 
stand on the Common, and a clock at 
Singing Beach, sufficiently large to be 
seen by bathers and by the hundreds 
who daily seek recreation by sitting 
upon the sand.

Says the Salem News: “Members 
of the Manchester team and the root- 
ers were in evidence at the Marble- 
head game on Labor Day and if their 
rooting is a criterion there will be 
plenty of action when the two teams 
line up in the first game of the series 
next Saturday.” 
You betcha! And then some. But 
manchester will do more than root, 
we all hope.

If all the amateur score keepers 
in Manchester go to Marblehead to- 
morrow it will take a special car to ac- 
commodate them. Coming home it 
will take a squad of militia to squelch 
the arguments arising over the diversi- 
fied scoring, if they display the same 
‘uniformity that they have in the past. 
At every game Gordon Slade, the off- 
cial scorer, is pestered. by the dozen- 
odd amateur scorers, who get tangled 
up in their tallies, and then call upon 
him to settle the disputes arising over 
the proper distribution of hits and 
errors. Who said the umpire’s lot is 
the only hard one?

Manager Fritz of the Manchester 
baseball team received a letter of en- 
couragement from the manager of the 
Stoneham tea’n, which played in Man- 
chester on Labor Day, in regard to the 
Marblehead series. Phe Stoneham 
manager characterized the Manches- 
ter nine as the “best sports” he had 
met this season—and his team has 
played at Marblehead. “I hope you 
win the series,” he concluded, “and | 
will be glad to do anything I can to 
help you.”

Andrew Lee has in his possession a 
choice set of china which he values 
very highly. It is several hundred 
years old, in all probability, and was 
brought from China almost one hun- 
dred years ago by Capt. Babcock, a 
Manchester sea captain, who was a 
brother of Mr. Lee’s grandmother.
