An Interesting Ball Game on the Common
A humorous baseball match yesterday afternoon featured Fall River men versus Bristol hotel waiters. Fall River won 14 to 10 after a chaotic, coach laden game with Narragansett flowing freely. A collision required Dr. Rice of Philadelphia to revive the Bristol catcher. The locals fought to close the gap in the last inning but fell short while many bases on balls favored the visitors.
