Kezar Falls, Z; Limington, 6.
Probably few more exciting contests
ever occurred ON the Kezar Falls grounds,
/ than that of Saturday afternoon be-
tween the above clubs, this being the tie
game of series of three played by these
clubs this season.
As the preceding game had afforded
proof of remarkably even distribution
of strength between the two teams-in
the first instance thirteen innings being
necessary before the victory was landed
with the Kezars by a score of 6 to 5. while
the Limingtons scored the winning run
of the second game in the ninth inning,
10 to Ga large crowd turned out in the
Expectation of seeing some Gloss playing,
and it is safe to say that every one got all
they wers looking for, If not a trifie more.
The Limipgtons opened up by getting
one run, and white washing the home
team in the first inning; the Kezars
reversing this in the second, leaving the
score to 1. In the course Of three more
hard-fought innings the figures were
SUCCESSFULLY 2 and 3, and for the
Kezars, and then and for the Lining.
tons When Mou1ton, by two-base hit
and a wild throw made it 6 and in the
sixth it actually began to look like
Limington.
But the Kezars were full of fight, and
in their next bat they succeeded in bunch
ing few good hits, which. with desper-
ate hustling, netted them three runs. II
4 was and now. The crowd was getting
excited and when the home team scored
again in the eighth there was something
of noise. As it proved, this decided the
game
Among the good plays for the visitors
were three two-base hits by Moulton, one
of the same sort by Fitzpatrick, bringing
in two runs, and the capture of four flies
by Elliott in centre field. For the home
team, several good hits by Kezar. inolud
ing three baser, q corking two baser by
Weeks, netting run, but which he lost
for himself by trying to stretch to three
bases, also three good catches in centre
by Weeks,
Both pitchers were effective. Days left
hand curves seldom being where his op
ponents expected to find them, while
Moulton's speed was terrific. g
In addition to the close and exciting
character of the game, it was notable for
the absence of Irritating delays. and fol-
the orderly conduct of the players, each
man, while evincing q strong determine
ton to win. yet showing no disposition
to resort to triokery or to Maggie over the
Pe-ru.na for Malaria.
