RADcL1rFE 7: SOUTH PARIS 8.

RADCLIFFE Z; SOUTH PARIS 3.
South Paris was defeated by Radcliffe
at the fair grounds Saturday afternoon in
good game by the score of Z to 3. Rad
cliffe was given the benefit of two close
decisions at the plate both of which came
at a time when South Paris was in po-
sition to score runs and make trouble
for Radcliffe. The decision in the
seventh inning was very close, and had
the runner been favored, as is customary,
we might now have different report to
make. Both pitchers were hit rather
freely, but French received better sup
port and usually prevented Paris from
getting hits when they needed them
most.
In the first inning Paris went out in
order. For Radcliffe the first two bat
ters struck out, and then errors by Shaw,
Wheeler and Berry, allowed them to
score two runs.
In the second Pike, the first man up,
reached first on Bridges error, Shaw
was hit by pitched ball, and Pike
scored on Monks single. Norway also
got one run in this inning. BOnney
singled, Hayes sacrificed, and was
thrown out prettily by Fifield, and then
Bridges singled, scoring Bonney.
Paris again went out in order in the
third, while singles by Shaw, Lowell
and Thibodeau gave Radcliffe one more
run.
In the fourth hit by Pike, base on
balls to Berry, a sacrifice by Monk and a
single by Parlin gave Paris one more

In the fifth after two were out, Wheel
or received a base on balls and scored
on Pixies two-base hit, Shaw reached
first on Thibodeau's error and took sec
ond, Berry hit to the pitcher, and Pike,
who attempted to score, was called out
at the plate. For Radcliffe, Shaw, the
first man, singled and stole second, but
was left there as the next three men
were easy outs.
Paris went out in order in the sixth
but Radcliffe landed on Cole rather hard
in this inning, earning three runs on
three singles and two-base hit.
Cole started the seventh for Paris
with single, Fifield was hit by pitch
ed ball, Wheeler hit to Lowell, the ball
striking his feet and rolling to Bridges
who got Fifield at second. Pike also
hit to Lowell, and Cole, who tried to
score, was called out at the plate. Shaw
reached first on Bridges error, and will
the bases full Berry struck out. Nor
way gave rather poor exhibition o.
base running in their half of this inning
Lowell was hit by pitched ball, Thibo
deau singled and tried to steal second
running Lowell off the base, he being
put out by Fifield. Bonney hit ;
grounder toward short which Thibodear
ran into and was out. Hayes singled
and Bonney took third, Cummings hi
to Pike who got Hayes on a forced on
at second.
In the eighth, Monk singled, ParliI
struck out and Monk was thrown on
trying for second, Hebbard went out oil
a ground ball to first. For Radcliffe
Shaw and French singled after two wer'
out, but Lowell went out. Cole t.
Wheeler.
Cole started the ninth inning will
single, Fifield flied out, Wheele
singled putting Cole on third, and Pix
: was given base on balls, filling th'
bases. Whether French gave this has
on balls purposely or not we do no
know, but it was no doubt the hes
thing he could have done, as Pike ha
proven to be one of Paris best batters
,, Shaw hit to French, who started a dou
BILE play, the ball going to Leonard, the1
to Bonney.
Fifeld, Pike, Monk and Hebbart
, played nice ball for Paris, while Shaw
did some fine work for Radcliffe, max
. ing four hits out of five times at the bat
