spectators, winning the game on three
hits by the large score of 16 to 8.
Although outbatted, the visitors played
a sharp and steady fielding game. while
opportune time.
Payne, a left handed pitcher, was In the
box for Syracuse and had excellent con-
troll OF the ball. He was touched mp for
fourteen hits, but managed to keep them
well scattered. Had Pawtucket kept one
man In the box theresult might have been
different.
Haben opened In the points for the
Pawtuckets and had very little control
over the leather. Five Syracuse players
walked down to first In this inning and
two men were forced In. This with few
singles gave the visitors six runs. Rob
inson and Fournier also took turns In the
box, the latter doing excellent work.
Roach played third during the first
three innings and then went behind the
bat, doing creditable work. Wise COW
cred first base In his usual finished style
and one of his drives would have been
home run had not the ball struck the tree
in right field and rolled back Into tho
diamond.
Payne is onelof the best twirlers In the
Eastern League and pitched just as hard
as II IL was championship game. In fact
the entire team put up gilt edge article
OF ball and it was the general impression
that Syracuse has the crack team OF the
league this year.

men who have been famous in the in
fields OF the league, namely, Stricke, Bas-
sett and Cooney. These men, with Rogers
on first baee, ought to be pretty fast.

named Lush, who, strangely enough, Is
| total sbstainer.

Dexter street grounds next week. With
Bangor on Monday and Portland Thurs
| day.
