Woonsocket on September 15

The Grays will play two games in Woonsocket against our local rivals, the Game Hens, at noon on September 15.

The games will be played at Renaud Field, Newland Avenue, Woonsocket. Take Route 146 to Route 99 North, the Woonsocket Industrial Highway. Follow that to the end and make a left on Route 122, Cumberland Hill Road. About a mile down the road, make a right on Newland Avenue, and follow it to the end. Renaud Field is part of Cass Park at the end of the road.

The day will begin with a youth clinic at 10:30 a.m., in which members of the Grays and local professional ballist Karl Allaire will instruct children in base ball techniques. The two games, played by 1884 and 1886 rules, will begin at noon. Admission is free.

This event is hosted by Woonsocket's Museum of Work and Culture, and sponsored by the Ciy of Woonsocket, the Woonsocket Teacher's Guild, and local star ballist Rocco Baldelli.

The Grays' performance at the late Roxbury N.Y. festival on September 1 and 2 was never mentioned on these pages. The Grays played brilliantly on the first day, beating two strong teams (Hancock and Elizabeth) by comfortable margins, Olson holding them to a combined five runs in pitching both games. However, the wheels fell off the Providence train in the finals on Sunday, Roxbury winning the championship by a score of 25 to 9. Thanks to Peg Ellsworth and the town of Roxbury for another great tournament. The Grays' record now stands at 15 and 9.
