tive throwing and York scored. Nc
Balm and Haylor both went out on foul
fiys to Kelley.
In spite of hit and an error by Pen
nell Waterville couldn't score in the
second. The Geralds were retired in
regular order.
Kane was first man up for Water
vile in the third and started with n
hit. Then Charlton put one down that
caught Kane at second and landed him
safely on first. Then Haggerty took hit
ana Charlton went TO third on il. Hag-
gerty stole second while Mcconnell was
striking out. Then Kelley took a
beautiful single that scored Charlton
and Hagse,ty. The Geralds tried hard
hard to catch some one while Kelley
went To third. Then King put one out
SO hot that Smith lost him at first
Clement threw wild in an attempt to
catch Kelley and he scored This look

started. But Daily was cared for very
neatly by Smith and Clement and the
| balloon didn': go up just then. But this
was three scores for Waterville and she
was in the lead. The Geralds were shut
out in their half.
| The Geralds returned the compli-
| ment in the fourth. although Water
vile came near scoring. McBain was
! first at the bat in the Geralds' half and
! he put out an easy fly TO Haggerty who
| allowed il TO slip right through his
fingers. Taylor was evidently aiming at
the same mark but he hit King who
performed Il nice little double all by
himself. Then Flood took hit. Smith
followed and got Il triple. Think of
that for man next the bottom OF the

night. This of course scored Flood.
Hamilton put a hot drive to Locke and

! Clement put one to Charlton ana Ham

! Tie Geralds one in the lead and the
bleacherS didn't feel so well as they
| lad been.
Then Russell walked out from the
bench and stepped into the box. Allen
| went from left To his own position in
| right and York took Russell's place on
| the bench. while Hamilton went To left.
| Hamilton had been pitching an excel
| lent game and his team and manage
n,ent was finding no fault with him. In
| fact he was doing too well to exactly
suit Waterville. According TO the agree
| ment before The. series York was to be
a substitute catcher only. SO Water
| will" couldn't allow him 10 play in the
| field.
| Ordinarily the Fairfield people would

in the box. but not yesterday. He had
| pitched four games of the series, three
in succession. and was in no condition
| to pitch fifth. But his arm is appar-
entity combination Of rubber ana
nickel steel and capable Of any amount
of hard work.
Mcconnell was first to face him and
took a pretty double. A murmur rose
from Fairfield. Kelley flied out to
Smith. Then King took another double.
| I he Fairfield murmur was a groan.
Russell can't hold EN-. today" every
body said and looked for slaughter.
| Then Daily took a walk. He's wild.
| too" said Fairfield and groaned once
more. There was lots Of money on the
game and ii was being reckoned about
this time. Kings double scored Me
Cornel. King attempted to score on
that block ball which the umpire didn't
see and was caught at the plate That
WIGS where Waterville began To see the
| small end OF the decisions and where
she lost one score. Phelan put out fly
| to Smith. Two doubles and but one
| score was pretty tough luck.
But Waterville gritted her teeth and
! shut out the visitors once more. The
Geralds gritted their teeth and shut out
| Waterville. Then Charlton made an er
ror. Daily picked fly off Taylor's bat.
Locke made a beautiful stop of hard
grounder from Flood and Smith put
one out to Phelan. 1t was now the sixth
inning and the score was a tie. The
crowd was getting its moneys worth
ana forgetting the fact that II was
La Dor day and day of rest.
| Watcrvile was shut out once more in
the seventh. The fatal inning had arrived
and Waterviles chance was gone. II
was evidently to lie n lucky one for the
Geralds in this game. II was. Hamilton
started it with a handsome double. Glenn
ents took a single and put "Hamy' on
third. Then Waterville INDUCED in some
foolish throwing. The ball was caught
and held all right Dut it was never where
ii was needed. A Gerald runner was al
| ways JUST Il OH dile.iu -AiItH WAS tOSt a
first Russell was lost at first Clement
| and Hamilton We're lost at the plate The
| Waterville crowd was wild with excite
| ment and 100 men OF more wanted to rush
onto the field and straighten things out.
| 1t was awful the way the ball dashed
around the field trying to catch someone
| and just missing every time. There
| wasn't an error in this inning but the
| mistakes were costly. Finally Pennell put
a fly out To Phelan. who can usually he
depended on to keep his head in a balloon
ascension. He made u beautiful throw IN
from the field and nailed Allen at the
| plate. Then McBain was cared for BY
Daily and King and the fatal seventh
| was over.
| When Waterville came to the bat in the
eighth she faced lead of two scores. but
her courage was still with her. Phean
| started things all right with single but
| was caught trying to steal second. par
italy because the umpire failed to see a
balk Locke f1yed out to Allen and Kane
| was out. Russell TO Clement.
Then the Geralds proceeded to clinch
| the game and put it out of the way of
| any hurricane finish that Watervlle
might be concot ting. Taylor started
rather poorly by striking out. Flood took
a hit. Smith reached first on an error by
| Locke. Then Hamilton came up and
