In a close and exciting game the c..
L. AS defeated the Chatham Artillery
ball team by the score of 5-4. On the
whole, the game was well played by
both sides, for though there were some
errors, they were of the kind that may
be attributed to a want of practice
and a slight stiffness that are to be
expected at the beginning of the sea-
son.
The c. L. As were ahead all
through the game; it looked at one
time that they would win easily, and
maybe wihtewash the other fellows,
for none of the Chathams' runs were
made until the sixth inning.
No runs were made in the first in
ming. Sullivan the first man up, went
to first on balls. Wilkinson hit 10
short. Sullivan was caught at second
and the runner at first. Shrek hit
safe4t 10 center field and the side was
retired by Krenson, who struck out.
The c. L. AS in their turn at the
bat also failed to get a man across
the rubber, but turned the trick in the
following inning.
In this the Chathams went out, one,
two, three; Clarke and kayton strlk-
ing out, and Myers going out on
bounder from pitcher to first. Then
the c. l.. A. s started in and 1t looked
like they would pile up enough runs
to cinch the game right there. Frank
McIntire put up a fly that Krenson
muffed Leonard hit to second and Nc
Intire was out at that base, but the
runner safe at first. w. Downey sent
one to short that was too hot to nan
die and Leonard scored. Charlton hit
safe to center. Hall hunted to the
pitcher and was safe at first while
Downey was caught at the plate
Virgins retired the side by striking
out.
two more runs were added the
c. L. AS score in the next, the third
inning ]. McIntire struck out, Schley
got one where he likes them, up
around the shoulder, put it in left field
and took two bases on it, then Black
hit safe to first, F. McIntire put safe
one along third base line and Schley
romped home. Leonard was out on a
fy to left field of which Kelly made
fine running catch. Downey hit to
pitcher who lnuffed the ball and
Black scored. Charlton retired the
side with a grounder to second.
- g
across the plate in the next inning
Hall hit to left field. Virgins struck
out. ]. McIntire went out on a fly to
short, then Schley hit to second base,
was safe at first on a wild throw, and
before the ball could be recovered
made third. Hall scored on the play
and Schley came home on a hit OF
Blacks over second. Frank McIntire
struck out.
1t was in the seventh that the Chat
hams did their best work. Clarke got
TO first on balls; Kayton hunted along
third base line and was safe at first
on bad throw 10 that base, Clarke
taking third on the play. Then Myers
hit to center and Clarke and Kayton
scored, Myers going to second on the
throw home Kelly and Barrett struck
out and with Sullivan at the bat, Myers
scored on passed ball by the catcher;
Sullivan retired the side by striking
out.
This ended the run-getting for both
sides for, though the game was con-
tinued with undated zest, neither side
could land another run. The game was
remarkable because of the fact that in
the nine innings only two bases on
balls were given, both by Hall. Hall
struck out twelve men, and Barrett
fourteen.
Mr.. Harkley Germany was the UNI
pire. The next game, which will be
played Saturday, will be between the
c. L. AS and the Y. NJ. C. AS.
