Text | "THOSE GAMES OF WICKET -- which Wolcottville challenged Litchfield to play, came off on our green, last Saturday afternoon; 25 players on a side; . . . [Scoring report shows Litchfield winning over three innings, 232 to 150.] "This is the first effort to revive "BANTAM," since the Bat and Ball, were buried (literally buried,) 10 years ago, after two severe floggings, by this same Wolcottville."
