Especial Dispatch to the TRIBUNI.I
FALL RIVER, July 6.-It was an easy task
for the Pawtuckets to win yesterdays
game from the home team. The visitors
played snappy ball in the field and hit the
ball to some purpose. Todd was on the
rubber for the Pawtuckets and the locals
found him harder than Chinese puzzle
to solve. He served up mixture that the
Fall Rivers broke their backs to hit, but
they could not seem to make effective
connections.
The Pawtuckets opened up savagely on
Flanagan, and in three innings he was
drove to the stable. Gerry was sent 1t and
was batted hard. Fall River appeared COM
pletely outclassed, aud that fact was real
lied by the 300 spectators in attendance.
There was never any question regarding
the outcome of the game, for the Paw
tuckets nailed victory in the very first
inning and then amused themselves to
their hearts content, batting Flanagan
and Gerry to all angles of the diamond.
The home team played listless game
in the field. For Pawtucket Coughlin's
work was the feature. He accepted six
difficult chances and batted hard and
timely. Smith also put up capital game
in the right pasture. Ladd and Roger
Connor carried off the honors for Fall
River, making four of the five hits that
went to the credit of the home team. The
score:
