ooh. somewhere in this favored land the
sun is shining bright;
Somewhere the band IS paying; and some
where hearts are llSht;
And someM here men are laughing; and
somewhere children shout"
And Somewhere" is Augusta, for Cony
has won out.
The Conv High school baseball team
went to Brunswick, saturday, tackled
n heavier team, the Bowdoin College
seconds. and came home to set the
ROSTERS to growing.
The game was played before a large
crowd. Cony had the first chance with
the club. and the man with the first
chance was Captain Kinsman and he
hit the ball a clip that sent it into the
bailiwick of the second baseman and
that party took it in and honored the
reuuisition of the first baSeman and the
documents arrived at first ahead of the
runner-one man out. Little got to first
Oil an error, Either sacrificed and, Lit
tic reached third; Kingsley sent a fly
to left field, and the home plate was in
nOcent of footprints. Martin for the
home team, showed his familiarity
with the classics by following the
policy of Fabius, and got his walk to
first. Iiodgdon hit safe for one bag;
Winslow sacrificed; Day struck out;
Marshall whelted the "Spaulding' S
League BALI for two bags; Thiloon
tried for first on a hulle, and the catch
er threw him out at first. The college
boys We're two runs to the good, and
somebody began singing: Garry the
News to Mother"
In the second. third and fourth, Cony
Went out in one, two, three order as
fast as the men got to bat. BoWdoin
got another in the fourth, and nothing
more till the sixth.
The game was won by the visitors in
the fifth. Tucll opened with single
and got second on an error at left. Gift
ford sent Il fly to that same left fielder
and he redeemed his waning reputa-
ton. Sanford reached first on an error
made at third, While Tuell reached next
to the last station of the four. San
ford tried to steal second but the
catcher was too quick for him, and two
men We're out, one man on third and no
runs. Hall took his Aroostook smile up
in front of the pitcher and hynotized
Tuell scored. Metcaf repeated Halls
feat and Hall reached third. Kinsman
got first on an error by center fielder:
Metcalf moved up Il position nearer
head, and Hall left off at the head,
for he mad spelled the word score" in
his actions. Little raped out another
single; Metcaif came home: and l<ins-
man reached the last waiting room on
the run. The first baseman lost the
glue off his fingers at critical moment
and Either got into the first waiting
room, while Little reached the third
and I<insman completed the run.
Kingsley hit safe; Little came in;
Either got around to third. Bither got
home and Kingsley got second on a
passed ball. Tucll was out at first on
an assist from second, and Kingsley
WAS left at second Six good big taIlies
for Cony; their first six, all in one
cluster.
BoWdojn got two more scores in the
sixth, and Cony one in the seventh.
The lads from the Capital city had a
great temptation to have palpitation of
the heart in the eighth, but their
nerves were good, and what looked like
defeat was turned into victory. Day
got a long hit with the bases full and
two men out. 1t went into left field,
bat Bither was under it with both
hands upiifted, and the chug as it
struck his palms and stayed could be
heard over all the breathless multitude.
n )body scored in the ninth. and it was
over, with the school boys trimming
the collegians to the figures of to 5.
