New Bedford, that Is the baseball club
that represents that town In the New Eng
land league, paid their second visit to
Pawt cket yesterday afternoon, and dur
ing the game, to quote Pawtucket news
paper man, "a social season was enjoyed"
That is Pawtucket enjoyed 1t largely.
New 9edford not quite so largely. In fact
the r.tio was six to one.
The visitors were taken into camp in the
most approved fashion, and the game was
emar able in many respects. At times
the visitors would field as though dash
Of toAasco sauce had been applied, and
again the home team would pound the
ball in way that must have been discour-
aging 30 one Mcpherson, who essayed to
do the twirling for New Bedford.
The coolest man on the field was named
Topi. His deliberation at times was
amusing, but not to New Bedford. When
. hot one was knocked in his direction he
would capture it, let his hands cool, and
get It over to first just in time to catch the
man from the town of whales and other
things.
Pawtucket made five times as many
errors as New Bedford, but they were not
costly. The men with the little red caps
feldec very cleverly, when the ball came
within reach, but most of the time 1t
dropped over their heads or over the
fence The fence cut quite figure in the
game yesterday, and the home team or
some OF them managed to put the ball over
it no less than five times. In fact, the bat
ting ot Weisbecker, Beaumont and News
were bright and shining features of the
game.
'Weis" was at the bat five times, made
five runs, hit two home runs, and landed
out a -,ngle and two bagger. Thus let X
represe t the home runs, y the single and
double, and what he might have done II
be had not been given base on balls the
first Il ne up, and you will find by little
calculation in algebra that Weisbecker
made Ia bases.
Beaumont made the same number OF
point, On two home runs and three singles
The seventh and last innings were the
only ones In which the home team did not
make one or more, principally more, base
hits.
New Bedford took the turn first at the
rat, and went out In regular order during
their first two innings. Pawtucket was
not so modest. Welsbecker took his base
ON balls, stole second and came home on
Beaumonts homer. News and Stouch
both few out. Whiting got his base on
balls, but died there when Wise struck out
IA tv.ta ft.ex .lx
After Buelow had popped fly In Tighe's
hands, Coughlin went to first on Tighe's
error, aud was knocked home by Beau
mont's hit over the left field fence. In
their half OF the third inning, Pawtucket
made but one run. News and Stouch each
made base hit, and Writings clever sac
rifce brought News home. The number
of runs made in the fourth inning cores
ponded with the number OF the inning. a
bunch of hits, and two home runs adding
further to the New Bedford agony.
Coughlin led off with a single, was ad.
yanced a base by Todd's sacrifice and
came home on two. bagger from the ba
Of Weisbecker. Beaumont and News eacl
put the ball over the fence for home rui
in rapid succession, and Mcpherson looked
as though little Of Perry Davis pail
killer would he beneficial. The mex
i'm ming was remarkable from the fact tina
no runs and but one base hit was made
weisbecker made his second home run Il
the next inning, and that wa. all The worl
done.
