that there II no hoodOo bird about TINS
ball playing, although VIC hayo lost ~
straight games. We find that the of hind
wheel Of tho outfit representing the Ken
nebcc valley has dropped into very deep
rut and it looks now as though all tho
King's oxen and all the Kings men will
be necessary to get us out
Umpire Connolly was greeted with APP
plausc whom he stepped out at the call OF
time, and when, In the last OF the sixth,
he received an injury in the head that
suspended tho game for five minutes. he
went pluckily to the plato again, he was
given little ovation.
Doherty threw ball to first and
caught McDcrmott that was at white
heat when it reached Baker. The
unassisted double play by McDermott
in the seventh brought out the applause
Of all who ike to SEQ good ball, and that
OF Connor and Baker In the third was
timely and OF the first water.
Tho only satisfaction that we have left
to us In these trying times Is the fact that
although we arc getting walloped every
day, the Kennebecs are playing good ball.
Yes, we know it is tiresome to 60 down
to the pnrk day by day and endure defeat,
hut say, don't you think that ms far rs
good ball playing Is concerned, you get
your moneys WORTH We sat out nearly
three hours of game, yesterday, and, al
though the bitterness Of defeat gnawed
hercely at our heart-strings when the
eighth was opened and the colts, trotters
and PAGERS, from the Massachusetts town
were jogging uncer the wire In one, two,
three order, but as we turned old Time
backward for a few minutes, we re-
membercd tho paroxysms OF Joy we ex-
perionced for tho 1--WE short, snappy in
nings that Fall River did not see third
base safely.
Now was not that good balls Old Man
Dllworth held the visitors down to three
contemplate little hits for five innings,
and II In the sixth and eighth innings
they fell upon him and beat him for 10
hits, 1t was nothing more than has been
done before now. In the eighth when
the visitors got first they ran bases like
mad. Eight bases were stolen in that
inning and no one seemed to DO around
that tho scorers could fix an error to, and
go you SEQ tho rut did not grow shallow
at all but rather deopeDcd.
We do not like to hear men who arc
we'll up In tho game sit upon the grand
stand and in heart-sickoned manner
condemn tho whole team every time a
player makes an error or fails to field tho
ball to nlcety. There Is no sense In 1t
and 1t has bad effect upon the players,
for often tho harsh remarks of some dis
gruntlcd crank fall not lightly upon their
ears. We would suggest that unfavor-
able comments, when applied to tho field
Ing OF the homo team. DO made in an I'M
,rtone or not made at ALL
Now just few minutes with the game.
Bean was the first man up and he flied
TO Ladd, tho next three men were given
bases by Callahan and that gentleman
gave way to Klobedanz. Baker went up
and smashed at tho second ball, flied to
McDermott, and Pickett pushed u little
one to Kloby and was thrown out at first
: We have nothing to say about tho Fail
Rivers for flvo innings. We scored twice
In the third like this: Dohcrty got base
on balls and Conner got n single. Baker
flied to Fltzmaurice, Pickett struck out,
MoManus got single on which Doherty
and Conner scored. We scored again in
the sixth by Pickett opening up with nit
for three bags, scoring on the two Dagger
by McManus. The next three men went
out In this inning Fall River jumped
on the homo team to the following dirge
Mike Harrington was caught at first by
Doherty and 1t was splendid throw that
got him. Ladd was given n base, Ken
nedy Fitzmaurice and Rollins got singles
Reilly flied to Pickett, Rupert and Kobe
danS got singles, netting six runs Not
satis\le with this, In the eighth they came
for vi as follows: Kennedy got a hit and
stole second, Fitzmauricc hit for one bog,
stole second, and after Kennedy scored
stole third. Rollins flied to McManus.
Reilly hit and stole second, Rupert hit
scoring Reilly, and stole second, SO did
Klobednnz MoDermott went to first on
Blker's error, Mike Harrington flied to
McMnnus, Laid got hit on which Nc
Dermott scored, and Kennedy struck out.
Well thore we were, 10 -. Shut ont
In tho ninth and the visitors crossed the
plate twice again. The grand aggreg ate
OF run getting was 10.
"Kloby'' smiled benigniy, the baby on
the grand stand smashed his head against
the press table and howlcd, tho reporters
tipped their seat to the departing guests,
and Rollins said, I'VE had to do It, New
Bedford ID chasing us -
The score: 81
