The Hartford Courant writer de-
scribes that great sixteen inning game
yesterday between Holyoke and Hart
ford as follows:
Holyoke got one man across the gum
in the initial round and they stopped
scoring then. After Dowd and Eitz-
patrick had been felded out Heinie
Batch was allowed to ramble. Fo1en
tried to catch him mapping and Bum
yam let the ball get by. Heinie took
second and scored on Pop Slater's
double. Pop tried to stretch his hit
and persisted at third. Hartford tied
the score in the sixth. DAILY few out
to Bertwhistle. Quigley drew four
wide ones and reached third on Bun
vans hit. Foxen flew out to Ross
man and Quigley cantered home with
the only Hartford run. There was
some poor base running in the pre-
yious inning. Henry lined out safe
one as q starter. O'Hare tried to sac
rifice and hunted to Voorhees,. The
ball was thrown to Fitzpatrick, but he
dropped it after he held it n1omentar-
lily. Here was where Merrick made
q wrong decision. He should have de-
clared Henry safe but he called him
out But for his decision Hartford
stole second, Fitzpatrick dropping the.
ball. Daily singled and O'Hare fool
ish1y tried to score. He was an easy
out at the plate. Quigley walked, but
Bunyan hit to left and Dowd made a
remarkable catch.
Bunyan was first UP in the ninth
and singled. Foxen made two i1lef
fectual attempts to bunt and then few
out Gastmeyer few out and Bun
yam was sent down to steal, but he
was out by yards. There was nothing
doing in the tenth and eleventh. After
two were out in the twelfth, Gastmey-
er singled, but was caught while try
ing to steal The side went out in or
der in the thirteenth. O'Hare led off
with 4 double ID the fourteenth and it
was thought that it would be all of
then DAILY properly cried to advance
bim with a bunt, but he failed and was
out on bunt strikes. The next two
few out and O'Hare was left.
The fifteenth was a heart breaker
Foxen beat out hunt. Gastmeyer
hunted and Slater fumbled the ball
Doran sacrificed and the men moved
up. Here was the royal chance to
win. Ferguson lifted fly ito Dowd
and Foxen made dash for the plate
Gastmeyer had too much of lead off
second and Dowd hurled the ball to
the bag in time to make double and
the run did not count. Henry singled
in the sixteenth and O'Hare sacrificed.
Daily struck out and Bertwhistie made
a running catch Of Quigley's fly. Mer-
rick called the game at this time
Henry cut Off d run ait the plate in
the fourth after catching Skaters fly.
Hartford had a narrow escape in the
fifteenth. Slater led OFT with hit
McAndreWs hunted d fly to QuigIey
and the ball was thrown to first in
time to double up the runner. Bert
whistle singled in the sixteenth, but
Foxen caught him of the bag. Hol-
yoke made two hits in the sixteenth
but sharp fielding prevented scoring.
There was a peculiar play in the
fourth inning. Batch hit for two
bases. Foxen saw girl with a red
hat in the grand stand and he sup
posed the hat was Dorans red cap.
The ball went ten feet over the catch
er's head and Batch reached third. But
for Henry's fine throw a run would
have been made then. AS an Iindica-
ton Of the anxiety Of the local man
agemer1t to win it is only necessary to
say that new ball was thrown out
and played with in the eighth inning.
The score:
