LOST ONE BY FORFEIT
BLUES HAD TO GIVE GAME TO
BRUNSWICK.
The Home Boys Won the the Second but
Would Have Taken Both Had IL
Not Been for Disturbances.

Not Been for Disturbances.
The dou ble-header ball games that
were PLAYED on the old fair grounds
Monday afternoon between the team
from Brunswick and the Royal Blues
were very exciting ones and had it not
been for the slight disturbance in the
seventh inning of tie first game. all
would have been better satisfied. Both
teams were in good form and played
good ball.
The Blues had their playing clothes
on. and went into the games with the
determination to WIN, and they would
have taken both games. had it not
been for the disturbance. tor then
thew had to forfeit the game to get the
visitors to play the second. When the
game was forfeited the score stood 8
to z in favor of the Brunswick team
bnt the hcme team was at bat with
two men on the bases and only one hand
out. There was good batter up and
if the game had been played out there
rs no doubt that the home team would
have come out victorious. In the first
game Elliott WAS placed in the box but
he was taken out at the end OF the
second inninRFfor the visitors made Z
runs off of him in that inning. Schell
was put in the box at the starting OF
the third inning and they had only
made one run, and not hit off OF
him up to the seventh. when the game
was forfeited. His curves were puz-
zles to the visitors and he showed up
in good form after his rest. He had
them at his mercy and was retiring
them in the one, two. three order when
the game was stopped.
The disturbance was started by a
man from Brunswick. who went on
the grounds. he being no PLAYER, with
the intent of getting rough house. !"
AT the sixth inning he ran into the
field and when called back by the
officers, started a disturbance. The
Brunswick team then took it M and
refused to plav the second or the re-
mainder of that game unless, they
were forfeited one game. This was
done and the second game started.
Sinner pitched the second game and
held the visitors down to very few
hits. The Blues gave him good sup
port and the game was won by them
bv the score of ) to 4. The second
game was an interesting one and the
Blues showed that they could ont
play the visitors in everv way. The
Blues not only showed that they could
field but that they could bat we'll ami
had number of hits to their
credit. Newton again advanced his
batting record by knocking few home
runs off the Brunswick pitcher.
