made hits but their positions on
first and second were only signals
for 'Doc" to tighten up and he
famed two and Tree pulled one
in left field. A hit in the fourth
gained sack but went out in a
double from Rogers to "Chief" to
Homer, Doc" again retired the
side by strike out. No one on
first in the fifth.
Webster's third and fourth were
short only six men going to bat.
In the fifth there was a likely score
but rapid work on the part Of the
Toozes spoiled all. After one out
Doc" hit followed by Anderson
who hit to Domonick and doc"
was caught at second but in attempt
ing to double Spike" threw high
which allowed Anderson second
sack. Thompson then made hit
advancing Anderson to third but the
side was retired by foul off third.
The score was tied in the sixth by
three base hit scoring off single.
johnson with Homer made double
play and Rogers took one retiring
the side. In the seventh and eighth
only six men were at bat. 1t was
in the ninth that the game was won
and won of an error. Wines, first
at bat was struck by pitched ball
and took second on an error which
would have retired him had the
play been handled properly. Third
was stolen and the score made on a
sacrifice.
In the eighth after hit and a
man walked Webster had a light
chance to score but three fly balls
closed the inning and the last posi-.
BILE chance to score.

Groton Wins First.
No matter how they tried the
Reds could not get score in the
first game with Groton and they in
turn allowed six men to cross the
rubber. The whole bunch con-
tributed to the success of the Groton
bunch and il is miraculous that six
runs were all. 1t was fast game
up to the seventh being to 0 but
three runs here welded the game.
The first ball batted by Groton
went to center field and was muffed,
second man was hit by pitched
ball and the third went down on an
error at first which advanced all
men filling the bases. A fly to
center field made the first out and
Evans famed the next. The score
was forced in by four balls. With
the bases still full Evans frightened
up and got the third. One man, in
the second, went to first and that on
an error. Rogers folded the first
two at first and Homer retired the
side by flying catch. The third
looked bad at the outset when the
first man made hit to center and
while fielding this doc" sprained
his ankle which put him out of the
game and allowed the batter three
sacks. Anderson then went into
center field and pulled down a fly
retiring the first man, the next went
out at first and Evans took one at
the rubber. Nine men at bat in the
next three innings shortened the
game considerable. II was the
unlucky seventh that made such a
one sided game when three runs
swelled their total. Then again in
the ninth two more crossed the pan.
Several times during the game
Webster reached third but they
could not find chance to cross the
rubber.
