Windham High School Defeats clin- ton, 7-6--Not Base on Balls -ur- ing the Full Fifteen Innings.

Morgan school of Clinton was de- teated by Windham High Saturday af- ternoon on Windham Field by the score of 7-6. The contest was a Moore of Clinton and Kelley of Wind ham, who pitched remarkable ball, neither allowing a base on balls during the full fifteen innings and each hit ting but one man. Moore had a larg- CT number of strikeouts to his credit, but he was flaming Windham's weak and inexperienced hitters, while Kelley vas sending Morgan's sluggers to the bench with the ease of an old leaguer. Moore was touched up for Il safe hits, three of which were cracking good two-sackers, while Kelley only allowed 5 singles, two of which Moore obtained himself. Kelley also drove out brace of beauties. In of the innings but IS men faced Moore and in 8 of the fifteen only A faced Kelley all being retired by the short or overland route in quick succession.
 The game started off bad for Wind ham, the first man up reaching first on punky error and before Windham had settled down to business the vis- itors had scored. The third was an- other bad session for the home team, nine men facing the pitcher, five fin- ally crossing the rubber.
 This was made easily possible by a succession of four errors, coupled with two scratch hits, two passed balls, two wild pitches and a man hit by a pitched ball. Kelley struck out two of the men in this almost fatal inning also. There was nothing more doing in the scoring line for either side until Kelley opened things in the sixth with a fine line drive over second and was nj hxr reached first on a mumps thrown ball by Moore, Morse singled and the bases were full and then the balloon went up and did not come down until six Wind ham men had crossed the pan. Keir- aus was given a life on first on Bur dicks error, Kelley scoring on the play, Jordan famed. Walden reached first on an error by Babcock, Frost scoring. Clark got first on E. Stew ems error and Morse scored. Gurley drove daisy cutter just inside of first base and cleared the bases, scoring Keirans, Walden and Clark.
 Kelley flew out to Babcock and the score was tied up and the contest set tied down to a genuine ball game for the remainder of the fifteen innings. Morgan scored in it's half of the tenth and Windham tied it up again. In the 11th, 12th 18th and 14th the sides were retired in one, two three order, except tFat Windham had four men up in the 14th.
 Morgan went out in order in the first of the 18th while Morse, first man up for Windham connected for his fourth hit of the game, Keirans reached first on Moore's error, Jordan flew out to Babcock, Walden struck out, Clark reached first on fielder choice, Burdlck attempting to cut Morse off from stealing third and making the throw hard and low F. Stevens made a mess of 1t, falling down by tripping over his own feet and the ball rolling down the hill Morse crossed the plate with the win- ming run amid the widest enthusiasm Kelley did not allow a hit after the seventh, while Moore was found for four more. Features of the game were the pitching of both artists, the fine stick work of Morse, the fielding ot Frost Kelley, Stevens, and the Work of Keirans behind the bat, who caught an exceptionally good game for his second attempt in High school ball.
 Last year Windham played Morgan 15 inning game on Windham FielC and won it 2-1 in practically the iden- tical manner in which Saturdays game was won. There were F as good innings of baseball as the most ardent fan would exact and those who attended certainly got their moneys worth Eliminating the third anc sixth innings. the remainder could be classed as creditable ball for anyone The game will be remembered by Windham supporters, and Morgan's also, for one long time.
