smashed the ball at Lehey so hard that
be could only change its course little,
aied ont to him once and took two
nice little singles.
Tavlor played just as good game as
evar in left field. He only had two
chances but got 'em both all right and
ala his work at the bat, having two sin
clos and n run to show for the after
moons work.
walsh was in right field in this game
aud didn't get a chance there but did
bis work on the coaching lines and
while running bases. He is noted as
being a foxy player, and is bound to
make 'arn worry all the time. With he
and Phelan on the bases there's going
to he hot time ahead of the other side.
Coombs had a lovely time all to HIM
self They couldn't hit him and he
showed 'em a very pretty assortment of
shoots and speed McGovern and
Daily We're the only men who did not
fail TO connect at some time in the
game. Havey, a good strong hitter,
was at his mercy, as he was most Of
the time through the college season.
Fairfield knocked the ball out of the
diamond only three times during the
game, aside from the hits, and one Of
those was Phelan's fly, taken just out
side the base lines. He took things
very easy most of the time, not being
obliged to go the limit. Only four men
saw second safely and only one got to
third for Fairfield during the game.
Fairfield had just one chance to score
in the whole game and that was when
O'Neal had taken first on balk and
was followed by Allen with two bag
ger. There was chance for O'Neal to
have snrinted home safely but he let
caution prevail and remained on third
For the first five innings Waterville
got bat two hits off Lehey, one being a
double. He was hit hard and often but
some one was under the ball or in front
of ii all the time. But two We're taken
in the sixth, two in the seventh, one in
the eight and three in the ninth. These
were ali clean hits and pretty, and out

Fairfield'S fielding was of course rag

the sixth inning of this game. Wallace
a good pitcher and fielder, was on frs
when Coombs shot the ball over t
catch him, striking him squarely in tn
