The past week has been big one 10
the p. A. base ball team. Four game
: have been played, three of which wer'
home games and all of which were i'm
portapt victories. Out of nine games
played this season, p. A. has won six
Notwithstanding the fact that the regular
pitcher, Joe Weafer, has been unable tc
play since his injury in the third game OF
the season at st. Adams. The next home
game will be with Goddard on Tuesday,
May 20, when it is expected that Weafer
will be in the box.
PA. 5, ST. ALBANS HIGH 2
In the game with st. Adams High
School here last Wednesday, p. A.
squared their recent defeat by that team,
in one of the snappiest games of the sea-
son. r. Thomas and Raymore did good
work as battery for P. A., the former
striking out IS men and holding the Wis.
itors down to two hits, at the same time
letting eight men walk. Quebec pitched
heady game for St. Adams High, but
only famed five men, while p, A. found
him for FIVE clean hits. The fielding of
P. A. was much superior to that of the
visitors.
P. A. Is, HYDE PARK II
Next to closely contested game,
heavy baNlng exhibition catches the
fancy of the average fan. OF the latter
there was an abundance in the game with
Hyde Park last Friday, when P. A. won
by score of Is to IL. P. A. did extra
good work with the stick and made eight
hits off E. Foss, who did the twirling for
the visitors. Foss showed good speed
and struck out six men. If hyde Park
has a team this season he should make a
strong man in the box, with proper prac-
tice; in fact, Hyde Park had strong
in-tield, which was steadied by Smith,
who caught a good game. dom"
Weafer pitched great ball for p. A., al |
lowing only one run until the sixth in
ming, when Darling went first on hit to |
right. H. Foss struck out, c. Foss went |
first on fly to left, advancing Darling to |
third. Smiths two base hit scored Oar
ling and E. Foss. In the next inning
several long hits, most of which should
have been fielded, aided by a clean two
Dagger by Brown, enabled Hyde Park
to score seven more, which, however,
was their limit. P. A. had big in
ming in the fourth, when eight men
we're put across the plate. B. Thomas
started the circle by drawing a cheap
