Aside from that fatal inning it was a game worth paying an admission to see. The following children of the Nason

Foxboro citizens have indeed a serious problem hefore them, both to grapple with The future and to discover, if possible, the fiends who are respou- sible for this conflagration and conse- quent loss of life.
