the life and courage all out of the visi-
tors and they didn't amount To much
after this inning. They had lots TO
fight for as they still had two scores to
good but somehow they lost their grip.
Colby. on the other hani was lust

Weber by Leighton on flys.
Rice popped fly TO Chase Saunders

Newenham put ont n long. hard fly to
Towse that enabled Saunders to score be-

1t was a pretty double.

and victory was no, yet hers by any
means. There was AS much cXcitemen;
as the rain would allow and considerable
suspense. But Colby wanted to relieve
the blcachcrs as quickly as possible. Rus
sell started well by causing Pike to make
an error. This was rather ragged and II
looked like defeat for the blue and the
gray But Pike redeemed himself noby.
Batchclder thought perhaps he would
tumble one should he give II him. but he
didn't 1t was a fly and landed where ii
belonged. Towsc thought that third
trial might be a success. but he was nev-
or more mistaken in his life. RaSSell had
got second and was digging mud towards
third. lie didn't get back quick enough
and the fly that killed Towse at the hands
of Pike also killed him at the hands of
Pike and Allen. Thus the second double
was played and the game closed with a
victory for old Colby. The score:
COLBY.
