Whitaker couldn't seem to find n weak
spot in him. kinsman flied out to right
field. 1t looked as if the score would
remain n tie Indefinitely.
Cook came up first for Waterville in
her half Of the inning and put a nice
little fly out into center field that was
properly cared for by Kinsmlr. Bar
rett thought he would have better luck
with d lsroundrr but he didn't. Craig
gathered it in ana passed it along 70
, Hanson. Hoxie put fly out into right
field that was awfuily easy. It was
about this time that the railroad men
with Augusta sympathies were sur
rounded bv Watervill" people and VIII
lialns might have been Watching that.
Anyway. he didn't Een the fly and it
dropped right i'm his territory untOuch-
ed. Mason popped 4 little fly to Craig
md the score was still tie. Heart
disease situation very critical; deaths
expected at any moment.
Cony struck with q dull thud in the
first Of the seventh. Only three men
came up and went out in single file.
Hanson popped q foul to Abbott and
Gordon did the very same trick. COncy
broke the hoCdoo by putting out
grounder to second base but il got to
first before he ala. Then there was an
uproar in the grand stand and all over
the grounds The young ladies thought
they could afford to yell and it was n
rood one 1t looked like a 1O-inn:nG
game ell right at this stage.
But Watcrville made things hum in
her half. Sylvester who had replaced
Ware in right field. had his chance
with the stick and struck out. Bryant
got n hit and Abbott followed him with
the same. Whitaker went down on the
second error made by Small. McCork-
ell flied out to third base and Cook
cot a hit. Barrett struck out but the
last ball was dropped 50 he caused
more trouble All this had been
enough to score Bryant and Abbott
and the score at last was not tie.
r. was six to four and how they did
veil, Whew, bat it was good game
Conv began to think about playing
haU in the eighth. Things started well
~ Small going down on an error by
Jrvant. Williams went out, Whitaker
70 NcCorkell. and Johnson struck out.
This looked bad but Craig and Bither
both took singles and Small scored.
rJoxie stopped the fun by beautiful
catch of Kinsman's hard fly and Cony
lad five scores.
Johnson did n beautiful job, striking
o,tt three men in succession in Water
yil,e's half of the eighth. These were
Hox;e. Mason and Sylvester and they
went down like ninepinS.
When Cony came to the bat IN the
ninth il was doc die. Waterville was
Lut one score ahead and had one time
-. ct;ll m hc,. credit What would
corv dc? One score meant q tie again
and two scores meant practically VIC
tow. What would Cony do? You can
ipa ~ine with what feelings the water
