winthrop, Me-, July 1G.-(SpeciaD.-
| FalloWell defeated Winthrop IN an ex-
citing game by the score Of 4 to i vac
tcrday afternoon. We say exciting. be-
cause there was really more excitement
than in any game since the early DAYS
| Of the Trolley League, when Eden
| Hanks used to come out with the An
| gusta team and in addition to the ban
| game gave exhibitions Of his patent
| susp"nders and magic belts on the side
| lines, which in those days were con-
| Sidcred worth the price of admission.
| Whether the earthquake of the early
| morning had made people more excita-
| bic than usual. or whether "Gramp"
| Morsc's curves unbalanced their men
tai faculties, it would be hard to say.
| Anyway, all We're excited, both the ma
| tivcs and those who had journeyed
| hither from the granite hills Of far
away HallOwell. And the game was'of
| the kind that would not soothe to sleep
1t was lnybody's up to the latter part.
| And although Hallowell pulled out
| with comfortable lead. II was not
| clinched until the last stages
How did they do il? IialloweIl people
| doubtless think they did it by good ball
| playing, and Winthrop people will
| doubtless assert il was good luck Per-
| haps both counted. Anyway. Halo
We'll played great ball. They played a
| magnificent fielding game, 1t being
| on" Of the best exhibitions seen here
| ana they hit Wcll-that is 10 say. they
| Int "opportunely. If you wish to call
| it luck" you can do so by saying that
| the errors and passes of Winthrop
| came "opportunely"
| Ihe game was spectacular. There
were humber Of plays not often seen.
Take the first inning, for instance.
| Newenh3m slammed one Of Morse's
pretty ones up over the stonewaIl to
| the north of the High School building
and if Talbot had not been n good
| climber Ncwenham would have secured
more than two bases. Then Carey got
4 nice single and advanced Newenham
10 third, and then played off first on a
see-saw while Newenham scored This
was al rather unusual but there vas
more coming.
The sixth was the most exciting Hal
lowell had one man out and men ON
second ard third. Blair made a long
drive to the outfield and the man on
N4''' 'NAiiiN ilcillc vi lllt throw IN. The
man on second, however left the bag
anead of time and scored because he
thought the ball was mufred. Then
came the question whether the first
score counted the umpire deciding that
1t did because the ball was fielded In
the plate too late to catch the man and
then back to second. Winthrop protest
cd the point. and at that time il Looked
rs though the score might mean the
game, but as Hallowell secured two
more tallies, it would make no differ
encc.
Haiiowell secured her other two runs
in the seventh, when two errors and
two hits did it.
winthrop got after Hallowell several
times during the game, and as already
limited. the contest was closer than The
score indicates. In the second Hunting
ton got four balls and Morse singled
and there was no one out Irish was
out, however, pitcher to first. and Cary
sent a fly to the pitcher, and Talbot
sent a long drive to center while loyal
Hallowell hearts stood STILL Sparks
buttoned onto it safely. however.
winthrop secured her run in the fifth

took third on Driscolrs hit. scoring on

In the sixth ii looked like runs for
winthrop. With the bases full and no
one gone the prospects couldn't have
been better. But a little one to Maio-
ney which he passed back TO the plate
