About ten days ago the Fall River base
ball writers were claiming that their
club was too swift for this league and
good enough for the National. Since
that time they struck the base ball to-
boggan and received their medicine just
the same as the rest. No club in this
league is safe from the toboggan.
Yesterday Capt. Fennelly decided to
put ONeill into pitch again and he was
an easy mark for the Browns who hit
him all over the lot, while Mains had the
speed of the wind and had his opponents
at his mercy. The game was replete
with brilliant plays in which both teams
shared. The batting of the Portlands
was terrific as will be seen by the score
Everybody took hand in the slaughter.
Clymer played a great fielding game as
did Fennelly, Burrill and Van Alstine
for the visitors. 1t was McDermott's
off day which all players must have. The
Fall Rivers took their defeat gracefully
and made many friends here by their
gentlemanly playing.
There were 725 people on the grounds
when MI. Bacon called ''play." He is
the ex-manager of the Manchesters and
the Salems and makes good umpire.
Deadly opened the afternoons festivi-
ties with hit for two bases to left, just
as he did on Saturday Smith sacrificed
him up to second and Rogers brought
him in with a single. Burke got mile
age book for first and Burns hit to right
for single. Rogers tried to score from
second but thinner nailed him at the
plate by beautiful throw. Clymer
closed the innings, thinner taking his
fly.
The Fall Rivers tied the score in the
first. McDermott went to first on balls.
stole second and scored on Burrill's
double.
The Portlands went right at it again in
the second. Klobedanz flied out to first.
Hayes hit to Fennelly who thew inside.
Mains singled, Deadly was hit, Rogers
put in his customary single and little
Smith smashed out terrific double and
before the spectators stopped cheering
the score board boy hung up the figure 4.
Neither side scored again until the
fifth. Rogers hit to McDermott who
fumbled. Burke followed his captains
example and Mac fumbled again. They
were disastrous errors as Burns singled
and the bases were full. Clymer hit to
VanAlstine and Rogers was headed off at
the plate. The bases were still full when
Klobedanz was retired on pop fly. 1t
was tantalizing to see the bases full with
two out and the men anxious to get
home.
Hayes showed his ability to help out in
a pinch as he did Saturday. He caught
a swift in-shoot and the ball sailed
towards the fence, as pretty single as
one would care to see. Burke and Burns
scored.
Score: Portland, Z: Fall River, /.
Laid, the elongated left handed slug
ger of last years Woonsockets, and this
years Fall Rivers, faced Mains. The
Windham boy tried to fool the Rhode
Island boy on slow out curve, but Hi
ram had seen them before. He met the
ball square and it went over the right
field fence like shot, and. when he got
to third Captain Fennclly held him there
and Ladd was mad. He scored later on
Zimmer's fine sacrifice.
Deady's single and Burke's two bag
ger gave us run in the sixth, and owing
to poor fielding, a couple of bases on
balls and Burns fourth single, we got
two in the eighth.
The Fall Rivers got two unearned runs
in the eighth and that ended the run get
ting. Clymer fumbled Zimmer's hit and
Burns did the same to O'Neilps. Nc
Dermott sacrificed both men up base
and Burrill's long two Dagger did the
rest. Two runs came in.
The score:
