Remedies Turn About and Easily
Trounce the Champions,
Fall River Uses Three Pitchers But All Thai
Availeth Them Nothing.

Waterville July 10 -(SpeoiaD. We'll.
we've added another scalp to our belt. to-
day, by taking game from the cham
pions, and had lots of fun doing 1t, too.
The big score. wrong end to, at Augusta,
Thursday, must have frightened lots of
people from going to the Colby grounds,
this afternoon, for there was a small cowd
present to see the game. Those who were
there, though, saw some fine ball playing
by both teams, but, best of all, they saw
the home team win.
The Remedies were winners from the
start. They started in with an air of con-
fidence and kept it up. The only CLEAN
of hope which the visitors exhibited was
In the seventh the only inning in which
they shut the home team out, and that
too after they had pounded out four earned
runs in their half, making the score II to
16 In favor of the Kennebecs.
Both teams batted like fiends, the WISH
tors gaining small lap and finishing
with two more in total base column than
our boys could boast of. But there was a
difference in the batting for all that. The
Remedies did theirs in the first part of
the game. They hit at critical times,
when hits meant runs. Dextraze made
home run and brought in "a run ahead of
him. Pickett stepped up to the plate
when the bases were full and cracked out
a two-bagger, sending in all three men
and then stole home himself. On the
other hand, Fall River waited till the fifth
inning before they commenced to bat. The
score was then IA to against them. They
knew they had lost the game and only be-
gan to bat to save getting u thrashing
such as they gave US, yesterday.
Fall River made some costly errors, too.
Iadd let ball roll past him out toward
Shannon observatory. and when he got 1t
back again, two men had scored for the
Remedies. Stevens threw wild to first
to catch Doherty, and that throw cost a
run. The Kennebecs played without an
error till the seventh, when Joe Bean
dropped Rupert's pop fly. Dextraze
tumbled over Ladd's fly to center field i'll
the eighth and let the ball roll out to the
bicycle track, Ladd going to third. Coyle
made wonderful catch of Rupert's fly to
right in the ninth, then followed it with
q wretched throw to first to catch REILLY,
who had started for second on fly ball.
TIE ball went off into the crowd and
REILLY skipped off down to second.
Bean played his usual good game, and
Butler covered himself all over with glory.
He caught an elegant game and batted
with the best of them. johnson and
Doherty each, thought they had few
chances, TOOK everything offered them, be-
sides fattening their batting averages well.
Biker accepted his ~ chances at first
without murmur, and Dextraze
won his share of applause when he drove
the ball out under the canvas at right for
a home run. And Pickett-what can one
say of him that'isn't good? Watervillc
people know him we'll, although they
haven't seen him much, and delighted to
applaud him every time he came to bat
especially 80 after he made two beautiful
running catches in the sixth. Coyle
pitched a great game and fielded his posi-
ton finely. He made two very difficult
one-hand catches and "took'' with tho
crowd. Dilwnrth went into the box in
the eighth and finished up the game in
grand shape, only giving the visitors one
hit in each of the two remaining innings.
For Fall River, Ladd led in the batting,
getting four hits out of five times at bat,
OF three Dagger Fitzmaurice drove
the ball out toward the gym for home
run. A pleasant thing occurred when
this gentleman came to bat the first time.
1t was in the second inning. and when he
stepped to the box Umpire Miller called
time, an l taking from his pocket a case
containing handsome and costly dia-
mond ring, he presented it to Mr. Fitz-
maurice in behalf of the members of the
Fall River team, In appreciation of his
valuable services. What did he do? Why,
a most grateful acknowledgement of the
gif5. He raised his cap and bowed his
thanks to his companions, then cracked
the ball out into right field for two bases.
stole third and came home on Riellys
single, scoring the first run of the game
for his team, while the crowd cheered him
on.
Rollins caught a splendid game till the
middle of the sixth, then injured a finger
quite badly and retired from the game.
Kennedy played faultless game at first,
and McDermott and REILLY each made
some pretty plays.
Umpire Miller umpired perfectly
square game and not one of his decisions
was questioned or kick heard from tho
players or crowd All in all, it was a very
satisfactory game, and the lover of the
game who stayed away is kicking him
self, tonight.
