TWAS A BEAUTY.
VIM n DEHUIT.
Remedies Win Second Game
from Pawtucket, 9 to 5.
One of the Most Exciting Contests
Ever Seen on Our Diamond.
Ten Innings Necessary to Decide the Winner
Now in Fifth Place.

1t was an ideal game. From start to
finish the large audience in attendance
was carried along by the excitement of the
contest, and time after time gave vent to
it's feelings in hearty cheering. The Paw
tuckets went into the game determined to
redeem themselves. They certainly made
good bid for it, and succeeded at least in
making the game one of the most-per-
haps the most-exciting and holly con
tested ever played in the Kennebec valley
Baker started in to pitch for the Ken
nebecs. He was in the box for three in
nlngs, and althOughIth visitors made few
hits off his delivery. it was evident that
he was not in the best of form. His arm
was somewhat sore and Manager Burn
ham, not daring to take chances, substi-
tuted Butler at the beginning of the
fourth inning.
1t was soon evident that the latter was
in his Fall River trim. He had great
speed, and excellent command of the ball
The heavy hitters of the Pawtuckets could
not connect effectively with his delivery,
their hits being scattered through the in
nings-and not forthcoming when most
needed.
The fielding upon both sidets was clean
and sharp, and there was noticeable
improvement in the base running of the
Remedies.
Mellor pitched the first nine innings for
the Pawtuckcts He had good speed and
sharp curves. For six innings tho Ken
nebec batsmen could do little with his de-
iverv-the score at this point standing
to in favor of the Pawtuckets. In the
next inning, however, some timely hit
ting was done by the Remedies, and the
score stood 4 to 3 in their favor. They
added another run to their credit in the
Eighth inning. In the ninth inning the
Pawtuckets made a desperate rally and,
amid the widest excitement, succeeded In
tying the score
In this inning Manager Bacon sent
Mcekin to bat in place of Mellor. In the
first half of the 10th he attempted to keep
Mellor in the box. but Manager Burnham
md Captain McGeachy objected, claiming
that having been withdrawn from the
game he had not right to return to it,
Mellor was ordered to the bench by I'm
pire Hassett and Meekin took his place
n the box. He was no enigma to tn,
Kcnnebecs however. They fell upon his
delivery with great promptness, and wher
the smoke cleared away, four runs had
;rossed the plate The Pawtuckets found
This lead too much for them. Butler put
IN some extra steam, and their half of the
10th inning was closed without run by
beautiful double play by King AND
Flynn.
The contest was just such one as tn,
people like to see, and furnished all tn,
proof necessary that the Kennebecs are
team of live ball players. Flynn had
rather an off day at FIRST mufling two
foul flies but aside from this the infleld
work of the Remedies was of the gilt
edged variety. The outfleld played with
out an error. some beautiful running
catches of long flies being made in each
territory.
A feature of the game was magnifi
cent throw by Mccarthy from right field
which cut off a runner at third base
