TAKE ANOTHER
ThelewiStown Boys We're There With
the Willow In Sundays Game
With Glen0ary.

| Although the day was anything but
ideal base ball weather a good sized
| crowd of fans braved the copious
showers to see the Lewistown ball
team defeat their old time antagonists
-Felix McGinn's farmer boys from
Glengary. There were but few chang
es in the lineup of the Glengary team
from that of last year and the boys are
playing their usual good game, but the
local team has improved considerably
in their stick work and appear to take
delight in using up outside pitchers
in fattening their batting average.
Carlton pitched a splendid game for
Lewistown. While at times his sup
port was a little ragged and
in the ninth inning Glengary touched
him 70 for several hits, he was strong
ana 5.eady throughout. Finnecan
started out in the box for the visitors,
but the locals We're too heavy for him
and he lasted only until the fifth in
ming, retiring in favor of Felix Nc
Ginn-he of the wide slants. Felix,
however, Jared but little better than
did his predecessor, as the local slug
gers had their eye on the ball and
were no respector of person, curves or
reputation at this stage of the game.
Lewistown took the field and Glass
pell started off for the visitors with a
single. Often went out and Ed Kinch-
ey singled, scoring Glasspel and Mitch
ell retired the side. For Lewistown
Taylor led off with a Dagger
a habit he has been cultivating of late.
Eddie Baker drew pass aand stole
second, Slater Sacrificed and Taylor
scored. Morgan went out on an in
field hit and Baker scored. Art Bak-
er was thown out at first retiring the
side.
Glengary was retired in one, two,
three order in the second. third and
fourth. Lewistown scored twice in the
third, and two men crossed the home
plate in the fourth. In the fifth Glen
gary again connected with the ball,
and few timely hits coupled with
errors enabled them to net one run.
In Lewistown's nalf no scores were
made But in the sixth the locals
started the fireworks, and Felix Nc
Ginn's reputation as twirler was in
jeopardy if not utterly shattered. Ed
die Baker lead off with two-bagger,
Slater. Carlton, Gillen and others all
landed clean hits and when the smoke
ally retired the boys had piled up four
runs and practically cinched the game.
Glengary failed to score in the sixth,
but in the seventh connected for one
run. Lewistown scored once in the
seventh and twice in the eighth, max
! ing total of 12.
In their half Of the eighth McGinn's
farmers did a little hitting and scored
twice. In the ninth Glengary became
! thoroughly alive and land ON t q
| ball with a vengeance, and for a time
! Il looked as though they might tie the
score, which stood I to 10. They were
| finally retired. however, before becom-
/ ing dangerously close and tn three
,uns made in this inning made the fin
/ al score stand 10 to 13 in favor of Lew
| tewn.
VI Sunday the Moore team will
engage the attention of the locals on
the home grounds, and if half what is
said of the Moore pitchers ability be
true, Lewistown i'm very liable to drop
/ its first game on the afternoon of June
24th. In all events next Sundays
game will be the best of the season.
