Cripples Play Exciting Ball Game.
A large crowd of sympathetic friends and school comrades watched the ball game on the old league grounds on Huntington Avenue, Boston, recently, between the nines of the Massachusetts Hospital School, of Canton, and the Industrial School for Crippled and Deformed Children, which resulted in a victory for the Industrials by 19 to 14.
Nearly all the young players on both sides were handicapped by some form or another of bodily injury, and the running had to be done in many cases by substitutes, but neither their good spirits nor skill seemed to be affected greatly. The Canton school was outplayed in the early part of the game, but picked up toward the end, and the ninth ended in a blaze of glory with two home runs in succession, one of which was knocked by Noel Metras, who is pitcher for his team, and has had both legs amputated below the knee.
