An Easy Proposition for the
Home Team.

Clinched in the Eight.
some Good and Some Very Loose Playing.
Especially by Tufts.

"dlefNille, Me-, June 2.-(SpeciaD. -
Colby won the game from Tufts, this
afternoon, in the second inning. But
even with the game well in hand the
boys were not satisfied with that score
and in the eighth inning piled up the
runs in manner that was truly sur
prising.
When Tufts went to the bat in the
first inning and the first two men were
retired before reaching first it looked
as though the game might be interest
ing Corridor singled, but when he
reached third, Allen struck Kelley out
and not a run had been scored Colby
followed Tufts lead and was unable to
score. only one man reached first and
that was on Leahy's error.
In the second, after Leahy and Will
Jams had hit safely to first, Chase
dropped fly into Aliens hands and
Fiscke tried little one into right field
where FoSS was waiting for it, In the
last half of the second. Farwcll placed
little easy one at third where Flick
tumbled all over himself in his en-
deavor to field it, and on his endeavor
went down to third
HaGgerty had do or die look on his
face as he came to the bat and instead
OF dying planted it into the vacant lot
back of the short stop, scoring Rice Al
len took his base on balls. Dearborn
with the strength he has been reserv-
ing for just such an occasion, planted
it out in right for three Dagger and
scored Allen and HagGerty. Upper
by his base hit scored Dearborn. but
was out at second. when Fogg planted
it out to short stop Webb took his
base on balls and went down to second
on Newenham's hit. Rice's hit sent
Newcnham to second and Webb to
third and home.
When Farwell came TO the bat for
the second time in the same inning,
| Tufts began to act rather tired, so
much 50 that Fisk tumbled all over
himself in his endeavor to field the
ball. while Newenham and Rice We're
stealing home and scored When Far
we'll came to the bat he was good for
another hit. placing Rice on third.
Corridors wild throw in fielding
| Haggerty's hit. placed Haggerty on
| first and allowed Rice to score. The
changes which had been made now be
| gan to be apparent in the playing of
Tufts and Aliens drive into the infield
was folded 50 promptly that Allen was
| out at first.
| In the fourth Tufts began to bat AL
! len badly ana struck around. scoring
! six runs. The hitting started in with
! Williams. after Leahy flied out to Tup
| per. Williams singled and when Chris
| tian came to the bat he landed the ball
| over toward the observatory with such
| force that it struck half way up 10
! the caves 1t was without question the
! best hit made so far this season, and
! one Of the best hits in the memory of
\ those who have seen ball game on the
! College field. He scored Williams. In
| this inning Allen was batted so that
| Newenham went into the box and the
| slaughter commenced. Only three hits
were made off him. one a double by
Kelley.
In the eighth inning Colby tumbled
| onto Heselton and forced a change of
pitchers.
Taken all in all the game was unin
! tercsting TO watch on account OF the
number of errors made. Tufts at times
went all to pieces. At times the game
was laughabe from the lack of harmony
among tho visiting team. There was one
| thing TO be admired. and tnat was the
manner in which the players worked to
| pun out the game even when ii was hope
! lcssly lost.
/ The feature Of the game was Tupper's
| fielding of Lcahy's fly in the fourth in
| ninS. The bah was several feet in front
| of him ana not Il foot from the ground
when he gObbled it in.
