the dust and pummeled them without
mercy. Waterville didn't get n score in
the first inning and two passed before
the visitors We're allowed a taste. Wa
terville took her first one in the second
ard the visitors theirs in the third.
Then Waterviile didn't score again un-
til the sixth. But she made up for all
lost time in this inning.
1t was a repetition of that inning in

the shifters in the Maine Central yard.
over around the feet Of the ticket tax
er at the gate, did a fast eighth on the
back stretch Of the cinder track and
tried hard to break glass in the Shan
ron building. Some of these We're fouls
and some were two and three baggers.
They We're run winners and the Bos-
ton youths couldn't realize that Maine
was capable OF such a regular hurri
O. ne until it was all over.
They came in from the field looking
rather dazed and bewildered. After
trimming the Geralds it really didn't
lcok as if Watervilr was going to get
IN on her ear like this and dance all
over the representatives of the Bean
,ity But the Watervilles We're out to
win and We're not taking any chances.
The visitors showed that they knew
the game all right in the fifth. Water
Vile put out a feeler and filed the
bases. 1t looked bad in Boston circles
but they pulled ont Of the hole in fine
style. No matter where the ball went
ii always turned up at the plate in time
To catch Il man. Abbott. Hagerty and
York all died at home. 1t was beautiful
bail playing and was the spur that
started Waterville ON the rampage in
the sixth This was the way il happen
ed: Bushey was the first man up and
went out. McDearmont to Lafferty.
Locke was the next man and pound
ed out A handsome two Dagger. He did
the same trick in thu, second and start
ed things moving for that first score.
The visitors were considerably SurpriS-
"a to see him do il again and while
they We're wondering how he did it
he stole third. This was worse and
more of il. Sort of heaping insult onto
injury. you know. They started after
rim with 4 snap and he sought a re-.
fuge at home. The bail followed hard
and fast. too fast in fact for Kelley to
hold and Locke was safe.
This was enough To enthus any team.
When one man could go out and bag
a man unaided the others felt like do
ing something. 1t was a pretty exhib-
ition of base running when it is re-
membered that the Journals know
where to throw the ball and usually get
il where il is wanted in very quick
time.
Elvin Allen followed with a nice little
single. Brother Allen gave McDear-
mont little more than he could han
die and got his base safely. York fol-
lowed with hit and Doc" Abbott
capped the climax with a two Dagger.
This, you See, was amply sufficient to
make scores. and three besides Locke's
We're turned out very neatly This
made it 5 to ?. McDearmont gritted his
teeth and struck out Haggerty re
probably didn't know that this was re-
markabe. but it was. for the captain
usually gets his first in some way.
Daily went out. Shaw to Lafferty.
This closed the inning and left Water
Vile with very comfortable lead.
But there is one thing left behind
that deserves mention and that was a
double play made by Locke and Daley
in the fifth. I.afferty put one out that
was near enough and hot enough to
SCorch the grass. Locke had to Stoop
and reach for il but he got it all right
and passed it along to Little Johnny"
and the double was made. Allen, the
Gerald left fielder. who played this
game with the Journals, being the sec
Ond man out.
Waterville didn't make a score in the
seventh. The compliment was returned
and the visitors shut out in their half.
The visitors squeezed out on in the
eighth. making their total three. Wa
teiville cut loose again in her half of
the eighth and a hreebagger double
and single. a base on balls that drove
in one score and two errors netted five
runs. making the total 10. This was
good enough. and after retiring the Wis
itols in short order the game was
ended.
Waterville Outplayed the visitors in
nearly every department. She made
less errors. batted heavier. run bases
better and put more life and snap into
the play. The visitors held her well for
few innings but she soon took the
bits in her teeth and there was no stop
ping ner. 1t was a rafting good game
and well earned victory
