Ten men wearing gray suits and maroon
ball, on which was written the word ''Paw-
tucket," attempted to wreck the Newport
Limited Express in its fight pennantward
yesterday afternoon, but the essay was
dismal failure.
With Mr.. Foley at the throttle the Linn
tied came down the stretch and brushed
aside the boulders, sleepers and other OBJ
structions placed on the rails by Manager
Smiths men.
The train sped on, and as 1t rounded the
curve Micky Finn could be seen waving
his red bandana on the back platform to
Manager Smith and his men who stood
about and wondered how 1t all happened.
Ever since May % we have been anx-
iously awaiting the opportunity for an
other try at Mr.. Finn's sprightly seaside
colts, and the day came at last. On account
of the preparations made for derailment it
was expected that the vestibule cars from
the summer capital would be ditched with
out much effort. There was big hitch,
however.
Considering the weather conditions there
-
Manager Smith and his associates carry
out their part OF the contract. The fact
that Manager Finn's team had made ar
rangements to carry the day had been en-
tirely overlooked by the Maroons, and
this was the secret of the whole business.
When Umpire Breckinridge called for
hostilities to begin, Mr.. Wilder walked to
the centre of the stage to do the honors for
the locals. Everything passed off in a
pleasing manner, and the curtain went
down for the first act with zero in the
visitors camp.
The rooters began to sniff victory as Mr..
Wilder was throwing some kaleidoscope
latter chewed their gum all the harder,
and here and there about their bench there
was in progress quiet confabs as to what
would happen in the second period Of the
encounter.
The second inning came and the sum-
Msr girls started Irritation with Mr.
Wilier's best efforts. The Vermont lad
pitchsd bewitchingly, 30 the girls said, and
when the tatto was over the scorer put the
figure on the score boards. In the mex,
inning the visitors deepened the gloom by
adding three more to their score.
Manager Smith sat down on the bench
and listened to his own turbulent thoughts
with the result that Mr.. Wilder was invi.
ted to take seat of honor on the one incl
plank which Is located to the right of tn,
grandstand. Franklin G. Todd OF Aber
deem, Md, was delegated to the box, bu
could not interrupt the obsequies with an,
deg zee of success.
The Newports thought that Frank
twirlny was too lovely for anything. III
was found freely. They plucked 10 SAT
hits OF his benders, which, with errors b,
Moss, News and Whiting, gave the visi
tors lead that could not be overcome.
While Wilder was in the box the visitor
hit hiu safely on nine distinct occasions
and he gave few bases on balls just 10
variety sake.
Nose Thornton said In the third innin
that II was only question OF time befor
the Pawtuckets would get onto Foley
curves and send that young gentleman I
the stable. II Is needless to say that Nose
shattered his reputation as q baseba
prophet.
Mr.. Foley kept the 10 hits made of hir
well scattered throughout the nine In
nings. His support was sharp at all ar
Dles of the diamond, and inspired him
DO HIS best.
