THE BALL GAMES.
To a great many people one of the
most interesting features of the fair was
the ball games, and an immense crowd
gathered on that part on the grounds
while each of the games was in progress.
The opposing teams were Radcliffe Of
Norway and team of Lewiston and Au-
burn players. Radcliffe proved to be
Just enough better than the Lewiston
team to win each game, but the scores
were close and none of the games decid-
ed until the last man was out. Fast
clean ball was the rule and the games
gave fine satisfaction to the spectators.
Manager Leith of the Radcliffe team,
who has done the pitching for his team,
was called away by illness in his family
and Odell Rich and Pike of Hebron did
the pitching for the Norway team. Lanen
was again behind the bat and the rest of
the team was the same as in its recent
games.
During the three games Radcliffe made
"a hits, scored 10 runs and were charged
with 0 errors. Lewiston made 10 hits,
scored runs and made 8 errors.
In base running the Lewiston boys led,
having stolen bases to Norway's 4.
RADCLIFFE 2; LEWISTON 0.
Tuesdays game was shut out, the
visiting players receiving the goose egg.
| It was one of the cleanest games play cd
on the grounds this year. Only two
errors were made in the entire contest,
one being charged to each team.
Rich pitched good ball for Radcliffe
Not having pitched much this season he
was trifle wild, giving five passes, his
opponents could not turn them into
runs, however, so they did no damage
Lewiston had several chances to score a
man with hit but Rich was at his best
in the pinches and they could do moth
ing.
Skinner, the visitors pitcher, had one
bad inning, after that he was very Of
fective, allowing two hits in the last
seven innings.
The score:
