The Vermont Tribune, Ludlow, June 28, 1889 Mechanicsville 6/28/1889 Our base-ball club played its first game this season with the Healdville club, last Saturday. The game was interesting throughout. The "Mechanics" made two double plays (one in the fourth and one in the sixth inning), and COLE made a home run in the fifth. The Healdville boys could do nothing with SMITH, after the third inning. (Looks like Mechanicsville won 8-6. RHB) There will be preaching at the Baptist church, next Sabbath, as usual. The W. C. T. U. will meet with Mrs. J. CHEVENELLE, next Tuesday afternoon. Charles COLE and family are visiting friends in Putney and Brattleboro. Rev. J. B. CURRIER has been attending a preachers' meeting at Claremont Junction, this week.
