SPECTATORS SAY CHAPIN wAs oN THE


 PLATE WHEN BARNUM TOUCHED HIM high pitch, and when three men were on bases, Chapin was unabls to put the ball over the plate. consequently one man walked, forcing in a run which gave Lakeville the game. The Lime Rock players say that Mcintyre erred in first base decision affecting Chapin and that this cost them a run and also the game. Ellis did some star fielding for Lakeville, Wilson made an unusually swift and accurate throw from back of first base to third which caught a man. The batting and all around playing of Merrinan of the Hyphens was also one of the games features. Here are few figures for consideration.
