The banks and most of the stores were closed Monday, the drug stores, however, and some few others, re- maining open. 8ilk Town Team Vanquished, 7 to 2. Windham high school took the measure of the nine from the South Manchester institution on the fleld at Recreation park Monday afternoon, to the tune of 7 to 2. There was a good sized crowd present, and the coffers of the local team took a corresponding increase. The game was close up to the eighth inning, Windham being one run to the gond, but in that time at bat three a hit batsman, a stolen base and acrifice hit netted four runs and put the game on ice. Not many hits were made by either team, and but few errors, and it was a very good game from the spectators’ standpoint, fast and well played. The score: Windham High School. ab. r. h. po. a. e.
