Sixteen Innings Battled the Prodi- gals With Victory Ours at
 Last Other Results.

moons have Paper City fans been served with such big chunks of base ball as yesterday, when Holyoke raced with Waterbury for sixteen in ming and finally lost out by a score of to 2 !n game filled with excite- ment almost from start to finish.
 Holyoke had the game within grasp number of times, only to see it slip tantalizingly away at the last minute. There were lots of ifs to re- gret. If Bill Massey hadn't made that wild heave to second base in the final period, if Lawrence had been in the game in the same inning to make a try for home with that grounder in stead of fielding 1t to first, if Tom Dowd had not failed to produce the goods when the squeeze play was tried in the fifteenth, if lazy Hoff- man had not juggled a long fly in the sixth and opened the way for Wa terbury's first run, perhaps-but it was a good game anyway and the spectators got their moneys worth.
 And on the other hand the game should have ended in the fifteenth inning. With the bases full Baker grounded to Rice, who threw to the plate to catch lott. Hughes had his foot on the rubber and caught the ball before lott arrived, but Knowl- ton couldn't see it that way and the game went on for another inning. The visitors got lead of one run but Holyoke, amid wild excitement, tied the score in the ninth. Water bury got man across the plate in the fifteenth and again the Champs were equal to the emergency, but when Waterbury got the lead once more it was final
 The game started with a normal amount of calmness, but the excite ment arose gradually to climax in the middle of the game. Holyoke's half of the seventh furnished the first sensation of importance with man injured and a small-sized fight. Law renee dropped bunt. down the first base line and Rice ran over to first to take the throw from O'Hagan. An dy had the ball beaten, but Rice in trying to get the ball collided with him and the little second baseman received an injury to his head that forced him out of the game.
 A minute later Hoffman grounded to Voorhees, O'Hagan got in his way in taking the throw and pushed Hoff- man away from the base, touching him with the ball at the same time Quick as a flash lazy swung his left to O'Hagan's jaw, but other players crowded between the two and no other blows were struck. Hoffman was put on the bench and there was an, excited dispute for few minutes. Tom Dowd took Izzy's place in cen- ter field and Schincel took the vacan- cy which Andy Lawrence made at second base.
 There was wild excitement in the. ninth when the Champs tied the score with their first run. The Hol- yoke populace yelled itself hoarse out toward the foul lines time and again and delayed the game until they could be put back. When Cozy Dolan was called out at the plate, ending the inning, there was another hot dispute. but the excitement sub- sided in a measure after this. Hol- yoke got men on bases in all but one inning after this. as did Waterbury also. and the fans were kept fidget- ing in their seats until the end of the game.
 Big Cy Voorhees, was on the rub Der for Waterbury. and pitched good enough ball to win. Three hits were punched on him in the eighth. and also in the ninth. but aside from this he scattered the bingles over a wide space. He was effective with men on bases, and Holyoke had seventeen stranded on the cushions. The visitors gathered nineteen safe hits off Hodge and Stackpole and the two pitchers were about equally effective.
 Holyoke came out of the first in- ming in a lucky manner. With one down. successive hits by McCabe, Swander and Nichols filled the sacks, but the next two were easy outs. The Champs made a bid for a run in the fourth. Lepine singled. gained base on Walsh's low throw. but was thrown out at third. Massey reached third station on a passed ball. but was stranded. Mccormack pulled of a pretty play in the fourth. With two down and a man on first Walsh bunt- cd Mccormack came in for it. leav- ing third unprotected.
