The ball game last Saturday result
ed in a defeat for the Staffords by
score of to in q ten-inning game.
The result would have been a victory
for Stafford if the umpire who started
the game had not made wrong de-
cision in the first inning. Smith was
given his base ON balls. Kelliher
was ont ON a foul bunt. Gebhardt
sent fine hit about three feet inside
of the third base line into left
field, and reached second before the
ball was returned. At the same time
Smith ran home. Gebhardt then
tried to reach third, but was caught
between the bases after quite a scrim-
mage. After it was all over with
the umpire said that Gebhardt's hit
was q foul. AS Stafford scored again |
in the ninth inning, and as Leicester |
scored only once in the nine innings,
the game would have been Staffords |
by a score of 2 to 1. The manager |
Of the Leicesters admitted that the |
hit was q fair ball, but the umpire |
would not change his decision, and |
the managers Of both teams decided |
70 put in Fred Wildey to finish the
game, who gave good satisfaction to
both sides. It was quite q disap.
pointment not to have Cobb in the
box for the Staffords. He has been
playing with the team nearly the
whole season, and when the game was
arranged he agreed to play, but later
q more lucrative offer to
play elsewhere. Moore, . young
5wirler from Willimantic, was secured
70 take his place. In spite of the
threatening weather there was q good
attendance. The game started in q
1rizzling rain, which only lasted dur
ing the first half. The wet ball did
not prevent good ball playing. The
game was close and exciting. Smith
