From WaterviIIe, 10 to 8, on
the Latter Grounds.
WatervilIe Batted Heavier and Made

A Big Crowd of Supporters from Au-
susta Cheered Cony.

ei maps II was all OH account Ol tHc
special train and the big crowd of sup
porters that Ccny brought up with her,
som hing else altogether different, but
at 4 " rate she managed to down Wa
tel e on her own diamond by score
Of iu 20 S. 1t was a good game and all
who saw it were well satisfied with the
work of the youngsters, although of
course Waterville would have consid
cred it much better if her team had
won. But then we can't always win,
and we'd about as lief have Cony do
the licking as anyone else.
But Waterville still has a sneakng
idea that that decision cost her pretty
ing. Such things come occasionally and
it all goes with the game. And it would
really have been too bad to have sent
that ulywd down river again with de-
feated team. SO Cony took the game
with her when she sailed away.
Waterville eXcelled in this game with
the stick and made less errors than the
Vi tors, but she was weak on base run
.ri.. The men couldn't seem to get
..dnd in their old-time form and lost
ONE good chances by slowness in this
department. OF course Cony is rather
"agin" thicving. but still Waterville is
usually pretty fair at the game.
Cony was first at bat and hit a win
ming pace at the very start. Craig mud
died Fuller all up with one he sent him
and landed on second. Then w. john
son drew a walk. Kinsman followed
with a single, scoring Craig and put
ting Johnson on second. Cony banged
litt., easy one to Whitaker and was
out at FIRST, but this advanced Johnson
to third and Kinsman to second. Then
Bither stepped up as bold as a lion and
pounded out 4 double. Whew. Things
began to get blue early. This double
scored johnson and Kinsman. Kings
ley got a single and stole second. But
Tue't fled out to McCorkell and Little
to Abbott. This closed the inning with
three scores for the visitors.
But Watcryille couldn't allow that
thing nohOw 50 she started i'll to try
her hand. Abbott died easy on little
one that passed from II. johnson to
Kingsley. Mcclellan took a single and
Whitaker followed with a double, put
ting Mcclellan on third. Then McCor-
keIl followed with another double, sCOr-
ing Mcclellan and Whitaker GetChcll
died the death that killed Abbott. Cook
got a single and Fuller went to first
corner on a bad error by Craig while
Cook scored McCorkell had already
crossed the plate, so Waterville had
four. Ware put one out to second and
was dead at first. The first inning
tnel cfOre closed with Waterville one in
the lead. Ii this pace was maintained
the score badc fair to exceed that of
the Tufts-Colby game.
II. Johnson. the first man up for Cony
in the second, only punched holes in
| the atmosphere. Craig got a walk. w.
| johnson was handled all right by Abb
bott. Then Waterville indulGed in
few errors. Craig had stolen second
! and passed on third on Johnson's
putout. An erro ~ Cook put Kins-
man on first an red Craig. Then
Kinsman stole ...I. An error by
Whitaker put h.esn III on third and
Cony on first Cony stole second and
was all ready when an error by
McCorken advanced Bither to third and
and scored kinsman and him. This
was pretty rocky for Watervile and for
once the team was in small pieces.
| Kingsley took 4 hit and scored Bither.
Tucll struck out. ending the agony for
WaterVillc This little combination hId
neted four scores for Cony and put her
three in the lead.
WatervilIc COULD get but one in her
half of this ming. Abbott got a big
start by taking three bagger and m
{ ror by Craig scored him. This made
I t.n total 1-5 and Waterville was not so
N,.F badly off after all.
" ltervillc took brace in the third
a.t disposed of Cony PROMPTLY, only
fou. men coming up and no one scor-
inG. But Watervile's half was even
shorter than this. two men striking out
and on" going out on a fly to kinsman.
Both teams were now settling down to
business and playing the game.
Cony got Il double for Cony in the
fourth but it was wasted as kinsman
struck out and Bither and Kingsley
both went out on flies to Abbott Wa
tervill was bound to keep even with
the visitors and went them one better
on batting in her half by taking two
douhi4s and getting 4 walk. Both were
vast and no score resulted.
Conys out field had scarcely time TO
get to the bench in the fifth before go |
ing out again. as TuelI struck out Little |
was killed by Whitaker and McCorl- |
e'l and II. johnson struck out. Water |
vale did 4 little better, lcngtheniniS !
hnys out with a single, but she !
couldn't score
1t was another straight three for |
Cony in the sixth and no score. But |
Watervilie broke the spell in her half. |
Mason started this inning and was out.
Fl. Johnson to Kingsley. An error by |
Craig put Abbott on second, and a hit
by Mcclellan scored him. Whitaker
was out, w. Johnson to Kingsley. This
put out advancing Mcclellan TO third.
McCorkell put out g hard one and got
first safely. But Mcclellan was caught
at the plate, Kinsman throwing into
Cony. This made the total 7-6 and
things were getting pretty interesting.
But Cony believed she could get
scores if Waterville could so she launch
ed a try in the seventh. Cony was first
maa up and went to second on an err
ror by Fuit@r. Bither was out Whit
taker to MCCorkell. this put out put
