FAIRFIELD, q; TAcoNNET. 2.
A Sharp, Clean Game That More Than
Pleased the Crowd,

| baseball game of Saturday that those who
anticipated fast. clean game were de-
| cidediy in the minority. Both teams de-
serve more lames than they have won.

that the sporting public has not, recoc
nized the native talent which we have
had among us.
In Saturdays game, Fairfield defeated
Taconnet by the narrow margin of 4 to
Salnmie Hurd in the box for Taconne,
struck out ID men, and Reed for Fair
field did likewise. The pitching Itself was
feature which is most prominent. The
Unfolding and Outfielding were superb, not
an earned run being made during the
game Not a run WIS made by either
team which WAS not made possible by IL
combination of errors apparently fitting
in at the opportunc moments. A total OF
but three errors on each side will give d
clearer idea of the closcness of the game
In the second, an error by Drew allowed
Stobe to reach first; stolen base and a
wild pitch allowed him to score. In the
fifth. a base on balls, Il stolen base and
passed ball by Barney did the same for
j. Hurd. In a somewhat like manner
neither one of Fairficlds four scores
would have been realized without Tacou-
nets three errors, for which she prob
ably paid the penalty of losing the game.
When it comes to estimating the relative
strength of the two ageregatiOns the
most partial judge could give no decision
except by referring to the score, which
