A LOOSE GAME.
Neither Side Played a Star
Game, Yesterday.
But Cony Boys Won From Colby
Second, II to 7.
Star Work Done by Partridge, Craig
Star Work Done by Partridge, Craig
and w. Johnson.

1T was regular merry-g go round,
yesterday, at the Driving park. The
worst of it all was that both teams
seemed bound to have a hand in it
not especially in the going around but
in allowing it to be done by their oppO-
nents. 1t was the loosest game played
on the local diamond this season
Only eight men escaped without some
misplay. 1t was an exhibition of FUN
bling from beginning to end. Every
man seemed to vie with his neighbor
in making errors.
The visitors came up to the bat first
and We're Whitewashed. But the Cony
boys started the good work in the last
half of the first inning. The first ball
thrown by lockwood, the Colby pitch
cr. was banged out for two bases by
Craig. w. johnson got two bases on
errors and Craig came in on the same.
Kinsman went to first on the error of
Hathaway ard w. Johnson went along
another notch. Cony sacrificed, bring
ing in w. Johnson. Bither sacrificed,
advancing Kinsman to third. Kingsley
got a base on balls ard after Tuell had
come to the bat stole second. The Wa
terville catcher threw to second to
catch the base runner and the baseman
could have caught him easily and pre-
vented Kinsman's score from count
ing but he failed to comprehend the
situation and another score went down
for the local team. Tuell then struck
out. thus closing the inning.
Thus it went. Colby failed to scOr6
in six out of the nine innings. Cony
also was whitewashed four out of the
eight times she came to the bat, but
in the four innings in which she did
score they Travelled around the diamond
a a rapid rate. In the seventh inning
seven men crossed the home plate, and
in the fourth five men did similar
piece of work.
But speaking of stars, what is the
matter with Partridge? For green
man he was Il star. He has played in
but one game, this season, and the
crowd YVES not expecting that he would
pitch the game that he did. But didn't
he twirl that sphere? Everyone says
he did to perfectiOn. and if he hadn't
some of the spectators would have
| found it out. He struck out nine Of the
visitors and gave but one base on balls.
| He was hit for only Il total Of II bases.
| while the Colby pitcher got banged out
| for a total of 20 bases.
There was another man who figured
| quite prominently in several ways. We
refer to Craig at short. He had two
errors, but he dill bat like a fiend. The
first time he came to the bat. as we
| have already said. he got n two-ba gger.
| The next time he repeated the dose,
and the third time he made a good
single. Once afterwards he hit the ball
| for three bases. His total was, there
| fore. eight bases. The detailed score
also shows that W. Johnson and Tuell
were at home when they came to the
bat The fielding of the team was weak.
| although not nearly as weak as that Of
| the visitors.
| The features for the Colby side of the
game was a tWo-base hit by Knapp.
| the batting of Bartlett and a sense :
tional catch in the eighth inning by the
! latter man. The Colby team did a good
! piece OF work in the sixth inning, when
the Cony team was retired on three
| pitched balls.
| The following is the detailed score:
