| The game was exciting throughout.
With the good hitting and fielding. the
coaching and criticism of the umpire
enlivened things so that everybody got
more than their moneys worth.
| For Winthrop. the hitting of CARR
gan. Taylor. RoSch and Driscoll was
great. Cox pitched fine game, strik-
ing out eight men. He was hit for
nine with the total Of Is bases. but
was backed up nicely. the only fielding
| error not costing a cent. Driscoll was
in his glory behind the bat and gave
Cox great backing. Finn was lively
as cricket on first and Bill Carrigan
is always whole team at second.
NORWOOD took his one chance like a
/
| short and very nicely took six of his
seven chances. Irish had nothing to do
in right and Roach and Taylor coralled

making a very fine catch.

the first. allowed Irish to score. and
made one of those five runs. whereas

TO for Hallowell in the ninth.
Cowing had lots to do and even IL
he did have two passed balls. did the
rest well. "Bilr' thought one of those
passed balls ought to be recorded a
wild pitch. What DO you say?
Bradley. Blair and Higgins on the
bases played good. snappy ball. TAX
ing everything that came along Blair's
double in the ninth. unassisted, was
nicely done. Pugsley took three
chances very prettily and his two sing
les and the homer were beauties. New
enham had two and Allen and Conley
one each in the field.
Roach is playing good ball for Win
throp and by his clean. fast work and
gentlemanlv appearance is making
many friends.
1t was amusing to hear the crowd
criticize the umpire. His work seen
from behind the plate would average
well. He didn't call them all just right
but probably better than IS per cent
Of those who booted at him.
The hitting in the eighth and ninth
was great. Each team made four in
succession. two singles and two doub-
les. netting six bags. but Winthrop
