The Colebrook boys in their game with
the Island Pond boys last Friday after
noon got in ten runs on the first inning,
due chiefly to wild pitching, but for all
that they played a poor game as the
sequel will show. They came to Island
Pond determined to win, bringing with
them a number of "rooters" and during
this half of he first inning the latter had
plenty of opportunity to develop their
lung power, an opportunity they did
well to make the most of, for none was
presented after that inning, except for
the Island Pond "rooters," and how they
did root! Commencing the second
inning Finnegan was put in to pitch and
then the fun began, fast and furious.
This big lead had no terrors for our
boys; they commenced an uphill con-
test with determination to defeat the
Colebrooks even worse than that admin
istered bv them at Colebrook and they
were successful. In the third they batted
out three runs, seven in the fourth and
ten in the sixth, their opponents in the
meantime making but two. In the sew
enth the visitors added 3 runs more,
making in all IS. Carleton made fine
single handed catch deep in centre field
which called forth deep applause. The
catch was practically duplicate of one
made by him when playing against the
Grovetons. His fielding was great
feature of the game. The score appended
