The Kensington Brotherhood or- ganization was surely surprised on Saturday afternoon when, at the out- ing tendered them by the Men's Bible class of Berlin, the latter baseball nine defeated the former by a score of 20-17. The game was one of the best ever witnessed by local base- ball fans, so it is claimed, and Ken- sington was in the lead until the last of the seventh inning when Berlin staged one of its notorious ‘‘come- backs." The game was umpired by Dr. T. C. Hodgson, who witnesses say, was very impartial in announcing his de- cisions. One Berlin man ventuged to say this morning that it was not the bas:ball team which won the game but the work of the rooters on the sideline headed by G. F. Dodd and Walton Meagley. The tennis matek plaved by the women was won by th: Kensington players as was the quoit throwinz contest. Follow- ing all of the athletic events a picnic lunch was served under the large trees. It is quite possible that the Kensington baseball team will ask for a return g . probably on their own diamond, so that they will be able to show the Berlin boys up. Rear W Smashed.
