LIZ W day what 1t used
1AA Add to this hi
terrific and almost incessant hitting q
the visitors and the story Is told. We
might stop right hero but will not for We
believe there are ( ONE exp lanat.ons to make
and something radical to be said. A
good hay crop greeted both teams at Gar.
diner, yesterday, tho daisies and butter,
Guns tossed and Dodded In tho stiff south
east breeze. A PRACTICAL: farmer and a
sharp scythc would have been good
combination to have introduced carly In
the day.
However, both teams and small crowd
got there ON schedule time. When the
play began local cranks failed to recognize
the home team because McManus was at
first, Baker at third, Goodwin at short,
and now man, Patterson, was at center.
There was more or less comment on this
arrangement but fate had so ordained it,
and wo were obliged to sit still and take
the prescription.
The visitors won tho game in the first
inning, whom they jumped onto old man
Dilworth for four hits with a total of six
bases, these with a base on balls, errors
by Baker and Flynn and three stolen
bases tell how tho visitors Melted six
runs before they were retired They con-
tinued to get to tho plate for the next four
innings also and piled up 13 runs in the
aggregate. While we missed seeing home
in tho first for the next five We scored to
tho tuno of / and then got shut out to
the end of the chapter. Pawtucket scored
one in the eighth and twice In the ninth.
Tho crowd In attendance was inclined to
he at variance with Mr.. Miller, the master
OF cermonies and often some of the vigor
Gus kicking was merited. In the fourth
Kelley's hit to first landed him there
safely, bnt In q moment of unwariness he
was caught off tho bag, as it was supposed,
by Todd to Davis. Capt Flynn, who was
on the coacher's line called Kelly off the
bag thinking the umpire had declared him
out which was not the case. 1t was then
that Todd threw again to Davis and
caught Kelley dead to rights, but this
was not understood by the crowd. A
perfect pandemonium ensued for several
minutes. 1t is but fair to say that the
friU Ia to- far INIT i.
no doubt in the minds of most if not all
of those present that Miller's Judgment is
very poor at times.
In tho fifth an error by Flynn and by
Goodwin, five hits with total Of six
bases, nettod the visitors three runs. The
game in detail is as follows
The game opened with Whiting at the
bat. He landed on tho third ball pitched
for q long high one to centre, which settled
quite comfortably, thank you, into the
massive digits of Patterson Lang was
presented with the first bag. and Daley
got pretty hit by which Lang took
third. Daley stole second, of course, and
Hanivan famed at it twice, hit it for two
bases, and Lang scored. Davis hit sharply
to Baker, who threw poorly to McManus,
letting in Daley and Hanivan. Then Davis
stole second, and scored on Waldron' S
safe hit. Waldron purloined second Pat
terson took Yeager's high fly and made a
magnificent throw to third in an endcavor
to catch Waldron. The latter scored on
Blerbaur's double AT this time Mr..
Miller's Judgment on balls and strikes
was somewhat questionable in character
Todd hit little ono to Flynn, who failed
to field it. and Bierbaur scored. In the
last half Patterson was caught at first,
Hanivan to Davis. Mccarthy was caught
by Daley to Davis and that was a star stop
OF Dalcy's, too. McManus got two bascr
nearly out to tho centre field fence, and
Flynn flied out to Bierbaur. Score, to
D. Looked dubious didn't ii?
In the second, Lang got safe single,
Daley flied out to Mccarthy, Lang stole
second on the next ball pitched, Hanivan
got rap for two bases and Lang scored.
Davis got hit and easily stole second
Waldron struck out, and Yeager went out
at first Goodwin to McManus.
Baker failed tho third strike and was
caught at first by Yeager to Davis Pick
cit sent one over to right which Waldron
missed and Pickett got second safely.
Goodwin got a corking single to center
and Pickett sprinted across the plate.
Our only "Kel'' got a long one to left and
reached first but was caught by Todd to
Davis. Dilworth flied out to Waldron.
Eight to one and the local cranks felt
blue.
In the third Bierbaur got single and
stole second. Todd struck out, Whiting
hit a little one to Dilworth and died at
FIRST Bierbaur going to third and scoring
on Lang's hit to left. Daley gave one to
Goodwin and went out. Yeager init
mated with his hands that some of the
cranks had wheels attached to them and
