loose playing, careles base running and
inability TO hit Bliss at critical times
costing the Pawtuckets the game.
The game was at tho Sabin street
grounds, Pawtucket, and drew out
crowd of over coo interested spectators,
among whom Technical was well repre-
sented
The contest was the best seen in Paw
tucket this season and was exciting up TO
(. the seventh inning when Technical
braced, and from then on the hopes OF
! the local boys steadily decreased.
For the visitors Bliss was at ell times
. master Of the situation and when hits
meant runs they were not forthcoming
, His team backed him up fielding fast on
several OCCASIONS. In this respect Walker.

= prominent his record including Ave put

For Pawtucket, Fryer at shortstop put
