Much interest was evidenced in the
Milford-Shelton baseball game played
at Savin Rock yesterday, and good
sized crowd was present to witness, the
grand stand plays of their respective
favorites. Perhaps more interest was
excited by the fact that the gold and
silver question entered somewhat into
the contest, as to the extent that
silver pitcher was to be given as a
trophy to the victorious team.
The game was called at 3:45 and
started in with the Skeletons at bat.
There were two out in quick success
sion, when McHugh let out with q
hit to Young, who fumbled and gave
the runner first. Dinsmore followed
| this up with a strike out and the side
retired with McHugh on second. Mil
=
out a slow skipper to left, which was
nailed and he was stopped at first and
then in quick succession there We're two
outs, one strike out, and one throw
out at first when the side went out
with no runs by either team. In the
| second inning Smith of Shelton was out
on a caught fly and Hendrick failed to
reach first. Leary raped out two
Dagger, but Lintzer struck out and he
was left on second when the side re-
tired Milford then stepped in and Do>
herty to bat sent clean two-bagger
over right. o. Plat struck out, but
Feehan made a good safe hit to right,
and got first, letting Doherty around
to third. Buckingham let out fly to
left, which was pulled in. Doherty in
the meantime got home, making the
first run scored. Mansfield struck out
and Lamb was left on second.
In the third neither side scored.
Shelton in the fourth was quickly
retired and Milford came to bat Do
herty was first man with the stick
with a determined look in his eye, and
with grim determination he swung his
bat, putting the horsehide over tho
| left fence for a home run. He was
wildly cheered. The side was let out
by three put outs in quick SUCCESSION
after this.
The fifth started in with a score of
20 in favor of Milford, but Shelton was
in for gore this time, and proceeded to
knock Mansfield silly. Leary was out
on a foul at first rap, but this made
no difference Lintzer made a good
grounder hit, which was fumbled by
| Young and he reached first Corcora n
banged the oval down to left field and
reached first, letting Lintzer to third.
Now came the coup d'etat. Osterhoudt
hit to right and was safe on a tumble
by G. Plat. Lintzer came home and
while the pitcher and catcher We're Won
dering where the ball was, Corcoran
also ambled in Mills then hit out for
a two-bagger and brought Osterhoudt
home McHugh was caught out on a
foul, but Dinsmore hit a safe grounder
to left and brought Mills in. Smith
did the same and let Dinsmore in, but
Hendricks flied out to right, and the
side went out with Smith on third
Both teams failed to score in the sixth
but in the seventh Shelton rolled In
two, while Milford got one and theil
last. In the eighth Osterhoudt scored
the last in the game. The ninth inning
was soon over, and the game CLOSED
with victory for Shelton by the score
S-3.
1t is a curious fact that every Mil
ford score was made by Doherty, wht
showed his skill at every point as E
superior player. IA fine play was made
by Hendricks in the seventh inning
when he hung on to a scorchiug no
liner let out by c. Plat.
