"Wednesday was Bowdoin's day and
she won her game from Colby by
score of s to 8. This is the last game
of the three which Bowdoin had
scheduled this year with Colby and the
last two she has won. 1t was Bow
doins game from the start. Vail was
in the box for Colby in the beginning
of the game, but could not mystify the
Bowdoin team. Eight hits were Sc
cured from him and it was clearly seen
that this was an occasion for the re-
gent to gain new scalps. Long Johnny
was tried in the sixth. Munro and
Havey each cracked out heavy ones to
left field, but league robbed them of
both in a way to put an honest thief
to shame. Cox came in between the
two, however, and squared matters in
great shape. While Munro's fly was
returning to earth Cox chalked his
cue, figured out the English and went
after Long Johns twirlers for clean
hit over the right field fence. 1t was
the first trot home seen on Whittier
field in two years and the prettiest
feature of Wednesdays game. The
other innings We're much alike. Colby
went to the bat first. Vail got hit,
and the next three men flied out in
order Munro and Havey both got hits
in the first, but the other men flied
out and they did not score. Keene and
Pugsley flied out in the second and j.
league struck out White got first
on a slow throw. Munro and Cox flied
out. With two gone and the bases
empty, Clark took a fine three base hit.
Blanchard and Johnson reached first
on poor fielding. BLY, took a walk.
White gave an easy one to Pugsley
and Bly, was out at second. But be-
fore this happened, Bowdoin had scored
three times. In the third Vail struck
out, Coombs flied out and Craig lost
on an attempted steal. Coffin and
blanchard flied out and Clark struck
out.
Colby scored in the fourth on an
error. keene got a clean two-bagger.
Cox could not see things go this way,
SO he struck Pugsley and ]. league
out in order johnson and Bly, flied
out. White got first on an error. Mum
70 made pretty single. Cox wanted
to fat up his batting average and Sc
lected an easy one for Il three-base
hit. Havey struck out Score: Bow
doin, 3; Colby, 1. Colby flied out in
order in the fifth. BoWdoin scored
once, Blanchard on Bly's single. Coombs
and league got in singles in the sixth
Coombs tried to steal from third and
scored on Blanchard's error when a
double play should have been made
and the side retired. keene also scored
on an error. Cox scored his home run
with two out on easy flies. Clark went
out on fly to left field. Score: Bow
dom, Z; Colby, 3. In the next three
| innings Cox struck out six men and
gave one base on balls. Eleven Colby
| men came to the plate. White took
| a two-bagger in the seventh, but lost
| on trying to make it worth three. BLY,
got hit and scored. Munro and Cox
made heavy cracks at the ball in the
eighth but did not see first. Coffin
struck out. The game was not in doubt
| from the first and BoWdoin had Colby
| on the run during the entire game.
| Cox pitched fine ball and had the field
| ing been all it should have been would
| have allowed only four hits. Murray
Iumpired a slow game and his decisions
were often doubtful, even to a charit-
able minded person. Colby's infield
was ragged and did much to lose her
the game. She had eight errors to her
credit Her batting was also poor, but
we have all seen the kind missed that
Cox served. This is the last game for
Bowdoin with Colby this year. Sat
urday. Bowdoin and Bates meet on
Garcelon field at Lewiston. The score:
