the usual style. both teams playing gilt
edged ball and waiting for an opening.

hitting, and In this on" Il ease of wild
nc;s on the part of Hamilton and Of
rattle in his support.

, made the slip. in the second WatrrVillc
and now again the Gera Ids in the third

The Gcralds didn't score again for

Then Carleton popped up little fy 10

in the sixth The seventh was a wild
| inning Cor tho Gcralds. No one ever
knew the team to 60 to pieces the way
it did then. The whole team seemed t,
ho denoralized and the ball was
thrown here. there and everywhere
and dropped half of the time. No one
seemed to know Just what was going
on anyhow or what to do with the bal
| whom h got il. There was just one lit
tie single in this inning and vet Water
| lille took three scores. But this iy
Gomethirg like the way il happened
Ph.lan was first man UP and Pennel
got all tangled up with the ball This
| was enough to rattle the team for tn.
snort stop is usually on very gooC
terms with the sphere. Locke got tn,
hit ~ the inning. Kane put one to Pen
nell and 1t was passed along to Glenn
ert killing Locke at second
| Then carleton nut on" to Smith anc
he mixed up with it in all sorts oi
wayr. Phel3n had gone to second Or
! Locke's hit third on his put out anC
Gccred on Smiths error Then HaEger
to came to the bat and was hit by the
bali Smiths error had placed Kane ~
second and this showed him along {,
third. An error by Hamilton scored
him. The Geralda had been gradual,
soaring into the air and were so hiEl
by this time that q parachute was
needed to land them safely. Water
Vile had been running bases as i
nothing could stop her. They did man
age to catch HaGEerty at the plate anc
that made two men out. Kelley flee
: out to Flood and ended the inning
Waterville now had seven scores.
The Gcralds were doubled up in thei
half of the eighth. so their stay on tn
bench was not long enough to settle thei
nerves. The made three bad errors II

Russell started the ninth for the Ger
aids with single. Hamilton hved OF;

out a pretty two-baggcr to atone for tn
errors he had made. Russell attempte.
to score on IL and was caught very neatl,

was over.
