Bates Four
N. H. State 0.

Lewiston, Me-, May 25.-(SpeciaD
Bates defeated New Hampshire
State College here this afternoon in an
interesting game on Garcelon field by
q score of 4 to 0. DeLanO, the Fresh
man left handed pitcher. was in the
box for Bates, and backed by excellent
support, the New Hampshire men were
only to get three safe hits off from his
delivery. Merrill was found for 10
hits but his support at times was moro
to blame for runs than the scattered
hits.
Bates scored three of her runs in
the third inning. Clason, first man up.
drove a hot one at Merrill that was
too fast for him to handle, E. Bur-
roughs, in trying to throw Clason out
at first, threw wild and Clason scored
before the ball could be returned. De-
Lano got single and went to second
on Lamorey's sacrifice. Damon struck
out. Stone hit high fly into right
field which Stevens misjudged and De-
Lano scored. Keaney got his second
single, scoring Stone. Keaney was put
out trying to steal and the inning was
over.
Bates scored again in the eighth
Stone was out on ground ball to first
Keaney got hit and stole second
Cole got hit, scoring Keaney. Cobb
and Bickford were out, Merrill to O.
D. Kennedy.
New Hampshire's best chance to
score came in the second. w. Bur-
roughs lead off with a hit. Stevens
flied to Stone. Kemp sacrificed and
Burroughs went second. F. B. Ken
nedy drew a pass But the best that
Brown could do was grounder t.
DeLano.
Bates played a good game consider
ing that Dorman was out of the game
with bad knee and Captain Stone
had to take first base. Damon did a
good job behind the bat, however, and
kept them from stealing. Kemp did
some fine fielding for the visitors as
did Cole for Bates. Keaney's hitting
was feature. Bickford is playing 4
good game in outfield, although he had
no chances he did some good stick
