The base ball game last Saturday on
the Pinney grounds, when the Hawks of
Stafford swooped down on the Tigers of
this village, was not close enough to be
interesting, although the first two innings
looked as though 1t might he a good
game. The Tigers came to bat first
Spicer got his first base on an error by
the center fielder, and by close attention
to business scored a run. The Hawks
came to bat and made 1t an even score.
An error and two hits In the second gave
the Tigers another run, but the Hawks
pulled themselves together and by means
of three hits and an error by Potter scored
two runs. In the next six innings the
Tigers scored each time up. In the ninth
Spicer came up and made a foul fly that
was gobbled, Worden walked, Bracket
had three balls called and the fourth one
went over his head. He started for first,
but the umpire called 1t strike. He
came back and put foul fly to the third
baseman, who took care of it. Hall, who
had already made three Dagger and two
base hits, took his turn and made the
longest hit that has been made on the
grounds this season. 1t was fair ball
beyond question, and he raced around
the bags, only to hear the umpire say
"foul ball" when he got home. The run
was not needed, but it was conceded by
all that he was entitled to home run.
In the eighth Korper made his customary
catch in right field. The score:
