sized crowd that saw the game. and 1t
went wild at the terrific hitting OF Burn
hams colts in the fourth and following
innings.
Pawtucket had Todd in the box and
for three innings he did good work. not
hit being made. In the fourth Butter
started the ball with a single and the boys
kept it up, till four singles and double
had been pounded out. These, with the
aid of five errors by Pawtucket, let In
eight runs Butler making two.
That settled it. Pawtucket never re
covered from the shock, but died llnger-
ing death, adding error after error Till the
total said 10, and failing to bat when hits
were needed. Even Yeager gave up in
disgust and made three errors, an un-
heard of performance for the star catcher
of the league.
Joe Bean couldn't hit the ball safely,
but he sacrificed twice and helped Others
score, besides making three handsome
putouts ana five still more handsome as
sists.
Butler caught fine game, considering
that one eye Is nearly closed And he
batted, and he ran bases. and he made
three scores, and he played ball.
johnson pounded out a single and made
two pretty assists, and had two runs to
his credit.
Doherty crossed the plate twice, banged
out single, had one putout and was
literally applauded for his lightning
throws across the diamond.
Our George Baker didn't get homer
or a three bagger, although we offered to
wager a cigar that he would. He did
get single and double, and he had two
pretty flies in right.
The fair David, who takes care OF our
left garden as no visitor has ever dono,
was perfectly at home and gathered In four
flies, three Of which were on very difficult
long runs. His throw for double play
at the plate was beauty.
Old reliable Kelley stood up at first and
scooped in l3 outs, pounded out three
singles and scored twice to the stisfaction
of every man, woman and child on the
grounds
Coyle did himself proud. He bothered
the hard hitting Pawtuckets and they got
but eight hits, scattered in five innings.
He sent but one man to first on balls and
sent the ball wbizzing over the center and
corners In great shape. Besides that. he
batted out two singles. scored twice and
stopped two hot groupders and assisted to
first
Dextraze has struck his batting gait and
he made single and double, each of which
sent In two runs, and then scored himself.
He pulled down one fly and dropped an
other, for which we will forgive him, on
account of his batting.
For Pawtucket there is little to say. 1t
seemed to be a race for an error record.
They couldn't bnt and they couldn't run
bases, and they couldn't stop grounders
or catch flies, and they couldn't throw and
they couldn't play ball, yesterday. Hence,
they lost game that they would liked
to have won.
The features of the game were: Pickett S
tly catches, Buffers fly foul catch oil
Lang In the second, Daleys stop OF kel-
ley's hot grounder in the eighth, and our
heavy batting, with that Of Todd. Coyle
ret,red the visitors In the fifth with five
balls pitched, and in the sixth with six.
Umpire Lezotte umpirod good game
He favored neither side but did
very satisfactory work. The crowd kicked
on calling long hit to left field foul,
but those who could see down the foul line
say he was right With but one or two
exceptions on balls and strikes, his iudg
ment was good.
This finished the third series with west
ern teams, at home, and we are proud o1
the record, the Kennebecs having won 81,
of the eight, losing one each to Fall Rivel
and Pawtucket.
The Kennebecs will 60 to Lewiston, to
day, where two games will be played, ant
thence to Portland tor two games.
The score:
KRNNEBEcs.
