went out Nice and easy, don't you
think? Regular picnic.
IT was about the same in the first of
the fourth. Luvrey put fly into Hud-
sons hands and Davis one into those
of Cushman, while Carr dropped one
into Newenham in an attempt to knock
the pilot off one of the shutters in the
yard All serene, so far.
Things were getting rather monot-
Gus for Colby about this time, and she
decided to close in and mix things up
a little Newenham made a hit, went
to second on a passed ball, and scored
on other hits. This was the first score
of the game and Colby felt better.
Hudson could not follow the lead of
his captain in scoring a hit, but sent
a fly to right field. Rice went out next
on a fly to shortstop. Two men out
did not discourage league any and ne
got a hit. stole second, went to thru
on an attempted out and scored on
hit a little later. Upper got a base
on balls, went to second on another at
tempted out and finally scored. Things
were very propitious when Aiieii
came to the bat and were more so when
he got base on balls. Pike helped the
good cause along, but Saunders spoil
ed 1t all by putting fly into center
field that stuck to the init ike an
angry hornet to bare-footed boy.
This was splendid for the spectators
and splendid for Colby. With lead OF
three scores she felt pretty well. thank
you. You see that there had not been
anything very bad, so far.
In the first of the fifth, Clarke was
first man up for the visitors. He didn't
do a thing but place a fly right in
Hudson's hands. Chase. he was bad
one. He just walked right into the
ball as IL he wanted to see II there
was any sand in the center of the rub
Der core and when things had quieted
down q bit he was brushing his panta-
looms on second base. First two-baG-
ger of the game, but there were others
coming, and if Colby had only seen
them in time to stop them ii would
have been different. But she didn't.
Well, Saunders could not allow any
more of that kind of foolishness and
so retired the next man on three
strikes. They were good ones, too, and
no one threw mud at the umpire. He
played the same old game on Dorticos
and there was that two-bagger looking
like 30 cents out in the field. Just as
easy as being President, according to
Dewey, wasn't it?
Cushman struck out Too bad, but he
really could not help it. Newenham Just
banged the old thing out for single.
Hudson went out by the aid of a little
exercise by Carr and Dorticos. Rice
troubled Luvrey and Dorticos for the
same purpose and was third man out.
In the first of the sixth Holmes was the
first man up for the visitors and got
single. Cushman went out on a foul fly
to Rice. Luvrey struck out. Davis
cured a base on balls but went out at
second. through the work of Allen and
Pike This was likewise easy.
1t grew easier in the last of the sixth.
league. the first man up. knocked the
ball to Davis. who passed it along to Dor
ticos. Topper struck out. Allen flied out
to pitcher.
The first visitor up in the seventh was
Clarke, who was out on 4 fly to Saunders.
Chase got a hit Webb sent a fly to Iiud-
son. and Dorticos did the same thing to
Saunders. Pike of Colby. got base on
balls but later was caught mapping on
second Saunders got a hit and was aIso
on putout and Newenham went out on
a fly to right field.
All had been easy far, but the
trouble for Colby began in the eighth
Holmes was the first man up and put
foul fly in the willing hands of Rice at
third. CuShman started the fatal string
of hits and Luvrey followed suit. \ whole
chapter of exciting incidents followed. 1t
was not so easy as ii had been. The Wis
itOrS saw things coming their way and
made fast to them in short order When
the dust had settled and the third man
had been cornered it was found that the
inning totalled four hits, an error by
Pikc, hit by pitched ball Chase, and
three runs. This was awful and not very
easy. The blue and the gray was in
rough water.
Colby went to the bat in the eighth
with grim determination but the die had
been cast and there was sorrow in the
grand stand and the bleachcrs. To be
sure the score was tie. but there
seemed to be little promise Of winning
out. Hudson started things well by get
ting hit. Rice was unfortunate and eX-
PRED an fly to center field. league got
hit but it was useless as Upper struck
out and Allen gave fly to center as
Hudson had done.
The whirlwind, tornado or whatever
you want to call it which the visitors
with increased force in the ninth. They
pounded and banged with vigor. The
hits were long and clean and two of them
were two-baggers. Dorticos was the first
man up and got a hit. Holmes pounded
the bail and reached first safely while
Allen and Pike were devoting their atten-
ton to DOrtcOS at second. DortlcoS was
out. Cushman raped out a pretty two
Dagger. Luvrey followed with another
two dagger In the same place. Davis went
out, Allen to Hudson. Carr made another
wo7bagger and went to third on an err
ror by Rice Clarke made a hit but was
caught at second Pike to Allen. Mean
while Luvrey. Carr, Holmes and Cush-
man had scored and the game was won
for the visitors. This inning was not
quite SO easy. The score:
