WATERWLLE. 7; GERALDs. g.,
Home Team Wins Continuation OF the Famous
18.lnning Game.

Well. say. The Watervillc ball toss3ers
are improving some. The Geralds had no
business with them, yesterday afternoon,
after the fourth inning. The game start
cd very smoothly up to the fourth, no
runs no errors and few hits being made
Then the visitors Suddenly collapsed and
allowed the home team two runs that
ought never to have been made. Then
they themselves made one in their half
of the inning and two more in the ninth
Some very costly errors were made by
the Geralds ana they seemed to be out
of form and not able to play their usual
game. Watervile had lots Of ginger and
the home team was changed a little from
the first game. Donovan covered first and

good working order and he has 4 nice
clean pick up. He accepted some very
difficult chances and completed the game
without error. Barnes also did n good
job NJ second. These men strengthen the
team considerably. York played good
| game behind the bat but there is not the
confidence in him that there is in Duno-
van However, Donovan is too good n
man to work to death and York can
share with him very handily.
The Geralds also had one new man in
the game. Moore, the man who formerly
played on Kicker and on local teams in
!Houlton. started the game at second. This
| is not his regular position and the pace
was Il trife hot for HIM. hence he was
replaced in the sixth by Wright. Moore
distinguished himself by putting out one
| of the hardest drives to right field seen
on the college field. this year. Haggerty
| evidently knew him and was expecting
something of this sort. for he gathered
| IL in very prettlly, although he cam near
going out the gate after it., Bushey also
knew him after that first time ard both
cred him considerably during the remain
der Of the game.
| The principal feature Of the game was
the three double plays made. one by Wa
terviile and two by the visitors. The frs
was made by Waterville in the fifth
Flood the first up. took a hit Russell

out accident and Carr was out at first.
Flood had gone to second and was max

the diamond 10 Locke again and then
they had Flood See-sawing back aud forth
between second and third. where he WAS
caught.
The second double was by the visitors
in the seventh. Allen had started the inn

to second on an attempted out. Abbott
put nice little fly in Smiths hands and
| Bushcy attempted to score but was
caught by Smith snd Russell. The third
double was in the eighth. IlaSgertY
started with hit. York put one to Rus
sell that caught Hasgcrty at second and
/ then York at first.
The battery work was altogether differ

Only two of the visitors struck out and
only four hit the ball safely. The homo
team took eight hits into camp and four
struck out. -,...

a wild pitch Then again in the 1ifth but
one hit was made but this with four er-

the game an error had something to do
with the scoring of every run.
Waterville finished with four errors to

The work of Beane as umpire left some
thing to be desired. His decisions set IN >

he did not favor either side the howl was
not prolonged. There was no serious
kick but some of the decisions maze the
players on both sides grind their teeth.
