Bitter Bristol Warren baseball tie ends in forfeit
A close Bristol versus Warren game ended with Warren declared winner by forfeit in the ninth after umpires ruled Ward out for interference. Bristol protested the call, arguing Harrington was penalized improperly and Ward should score the tying run. Spectators estimated about 1200 watched as Bristols pressed for fair play amid controversial umpiring and heavy bets. The series resumes with a Bristol–Attleboro context referenced, and plans for a Bristol common return game noted.
