| ternoor by the score of 2 to /, the re-
| suit being the same as it was at Lew
| iston when the teams met last week
1t was an interesting game to watch
and was exciting until the last mar
bility of Colby's Winning. Colby haC
several chances to tie the game, hay
ing the bases filled in one inning, but
on account of the lack of stick work
no runs We're scored. Their only tally
came in the third inning when the
bases We're filled and Hartman, the
Bates pitcher, gave pass to first,
forcing q man over the plate.
Bates started the ball rolling in the
second inning, when Keany hit the ball
over center field for a home run. Their
second run came in the fourth when
three bagger by Stone and single
by Keany cllnched the game,
Hartman, the Bates pitcher, al
though a trif1e wild at the first of the
game, was not hit hard. He allowed
but three hits, one being for three
bags He passed five men to first and
it looked at one stage of the game that
he would be replaced by another pitch
er, but he steadied and pitched fine
ball toward the last of the game. He
struck cut II men. Good was on the
firing line for Colby. Outside the homer
and the triple hit. he was not hit to
any extent, but these did the bust
ness. He allowed four hits and struck
out five men. IIe was not so gener-
Gus with free passes as his opponent,
only allowing one man to walk.
Colby's golden opportunity to score
was in the third and eighth innings.
In the third with the bases filled Good
came to bat and it was expected that
he would hit the bail safe, but he hit
an easy one to the pitcher and the
runner from third was out at the plate.
Nutting followed Good and was given
a walk and Shaw was forced over. The
next man struck out with the bases
filed. In the eighth inning with a
man on third Tibbetts came to the bat.
He was instructed to bunt and try the
squeeze play. He hunted the third
strike and was out This play did not
meet the approval of the crowd but
their shouts of hit the BALI availed
them nothing.
