who succeeded in doing it in this game

side and then rolling to the rough coun-
try. Kloby got three on it easily
enough and could have made a homer
by hitting the pace a little harder.
| Buchanan had lots of trouble in his
garden, this time. They poke a good
many out to him off and on and few
get by, but Coombs did the trick all
right. His went by Bucknam on the
ground before he could head it off and
rolled over the dump, under the fence
and onto the home stretch of the track
just above the judges stand. 1t was
a case of hurdle for Buck" and he
did it in good time, getting the ball
back into the field soon enough to stop
| the runner at third.

and a rescue party of kids went after
him to see what had happened to him.
But he got back all right after being

who followed Coombs, tried to put one
in the same place but did not get a

| then dropped it. Coombs scoring the
| first run on the error.
Rawson had an off day, although not
| n bad one. He has them occasionally
but his ordinary playing more than
lmakes up for them. The wonder is how
he plays as well as he does. After ev-
cry game he returns to his home and
leaves again just in time to get onto
| the field before theSgame. He was out
with the birds, Saturday morning, did
a good bit of work about his fathers
store and took the early train for Wa
terville. The only practice he gets with
the team is just before the games. If
he could make business of playing he
would doubtless land in fast company
| in short order. His two errors were
made in succession, one on a dropped
ball that gave Kloby an extra base and
another on a tumble on one from
CoOmbs.
Fairfield held Waterville with a tight
er rein than usual and spoiled several
good chances for runs. kloby's triple
was made with but one out, but Coombs
pounded out little one to Boardman
and Connors poked one out to Allen. In
the next inning, the third, Nolan was
on first with one out when Cowing gave
Wallace one that few thought he could
handle. Nolan evidently thought 1t was
la hit, for he was too near second to get
back and was doubled. ~ ' ID" 4
Watelville was out in order IN the
fourth but got one in the fifth. Kloloe-
dam had struck out when Coombs got
his triple. Then Connors got first on
the one Bucknain dropped and was
caught playing off. Goode closed the
inning with a strikeout. The next run
came in the sixth, CoWing getting first
on Il hit and second on another by Pho
IAN. This was a little fly that Rawson
and BucknanI both went after and lost,
one falling over the other after the BAN
reached the ground. This gave Cowing
third and he scored on AlIeh's throw
on Britt's ny. Wallace closed this in
ming with handsome catch OF d fly
from Taylor that seemed ticketed for a
three-bagger at least. -:''-'
Waterville had a fine chance for runs
in the seventh. Kloby started this with
la single and got second on Rawsons
error. Coombs got first on Rawsons
second error and then he and kloby
were showed ahead on a pretty sacrifice
by Connors. But Goode and Nolan both
went out on fys to Boardman and the
chance was gone.
Fairfield got nine men to first in
safety. one to second and one to third
during the game. Waterville got just
the same number to first and out of
the nine got seven to second, five to
third and two. across the plate. Fair
field had five men left on bases, three
caught at second and one at first after
reaching there safely. Waterville had
the same number left and one caught
at first and one at second.
The game was very close, as the score
shows, with just enough advantage for
Waterville to win out. Kloby perhaps
might have made the margin larger had
he wished, as he was not showed very
hard at any time. 1t was certainly
fine exhibition of baseball for a rainy
day.
The next game will be played. this
afternoon, and will doubtless be the
best of the series. A fine list of addl-
tional attractions has been arranged
and if the weather is favorable there
will doubtless be the largest crowd OF
the season. The program has been well
advertised all through the surrounding
country and large number from out
side the city is expected. A handsome
ball game is assured and this with the
races and the balloon ascension ought
to make a very pleasant afternoon.
