Convicts Form League.

A baseball league has been formed among the 500 prisoners in the Rhode Island state prison, and games are played in the prison yard every Satuprday afternoon during the summer. In a recent game, a car barn robber played behind the bat, a post office robber covered first base, and a man convicted of manslaughter was in the box for one of the teams. Those who did not play were supplied with pipes and tobacco and rooted for their far vorites during the game.
