failed to score and the game was won,
to 3.
Up to the ninth, Bangor had played a
perfect fielding game and it had been
coed ball throughout, Hanscoms error
in first being a poorly judged ball,
mufling it. Had Schrec held a thrown
ball at the plate in the first, c. Common
would have been out and Bangor out

Common knocked the ball from his
hands.
Mackey's throwing to second in the
second inning was very pretty, both
times heading off his man.
Joe Conner made a daring steal of
third in the second that brought down
the house, and Schrecongost's steal
home in the third was a dandy.
Meagher, in the fourth, was disguised.
With two out, he wanted to hit the ball
out of the lot, but hardly succeeded in
hitting it to Gildea. So disguised was
he that he threw down his bat and re-

In the fifth, Delaney made try for

work at short and Mackey, behind the

good work, striking out 10 men, but was
hit hard when we needed hits and runs.
There was a close decision down on
second base, Cronin throwing down to
catch Veitch and Bangor claiming that
he was out. The umpire said safe"
