England League and one of great ped
igree from the Boston Nationals, Wa
telyille defeated Fairfield, Tuesday af-
tcrnoon, by score of 6 to /, in a hard
fought game. The much heralded Piatt
of the Boston Nationals, arrived at last
ana started the game, but was SO wild
that Waterville put him out OF the bus
mess in five innings. Then Josselyn,
the Pittsfield boy who has been doing
such great work in the New England
and who is scheduled to travel with the
Boston Americans, next season, was
substituted, but the game was then too
fan gone for him to save and although
it out.
There was probably the fastest ag-
grcgation of ball players on the field
ever seen in the State and the greatest
corps of pitchers ever gathered in
Maine for any one game. Fairfield

hard and often, he kept them SO we'll

anything. The most they could get in

could not make Il run. Waterville gave
splendid support, playing an errorless
same and taking lots of hard chances.
The only sign Of an error was on Il
throw by Cowing to second. 1t was a
pretty throw all right, but Nolan and
Conncrs got mixed up somehow so that
neither took OF This cost the one and
only run made by Fairfield.
Piatt was in but four innings, but
during that time he gave three walks,
made two wild pitches and hit three
men. This made it easy meat for Wa
terVille and it looked at one time as if
they had the big Lacquer going. In the
fourth inning he made his wild pitches,
gave two walks and hit Nolan While
