won its third victory Of the season yes
tcrday afternoon BY defeating the newly
formed local team called the Spotted
Jackets bya score Of seven to one AL.
though dot scheduled game, the contest
was more interesting than the score
would indicate and the Jackets kept the
seminary team busy most Of the time.
Captain Heath Of the Goddard team
pitched for his team and made an excel
lent showing, giving three bases on balls
and striking out four men, being hit
for four singles and a double. lieidels
who presided behind the bat for Goddard,
promises to be one Of the best catehers
that ever caught for the team.
Coda Douglass was in the box for the
Jackets and surprised his acquaintance
by slamming them over with all kinds
of speed Tor niue innings and that with
very little previous practice. Douglass
struck out two men, passed three and
was touched for six singles and home
run, which Retry made in the first in
ming. Thayer was behind the bat for the
Jackets and his playing shows that he is
capable Of playing at either end Of a
battery with credit to himself.
Goddard made the first run in the
first inning, when Berry put the leather
over the hill for a homer, added two in
the second and did not score again until
the sixth when one was added, and the
other three came in the seventh on a
combination of hits and errors.
The Jackets made their run in the
eighth, when Knapp went TO first on
throw to second, stole second, went to
third on passed ball and scored when
Murphy drove d erounder between the
