Mechanic Falls won from Paris Satul
day for the second time this season, thi
game being played at Mechanic Falls. i
the first game Lawler completely puzzle
the Paris boys but In this one they hi
him at will. One reason for the bette
hitting was the new batting order.
The all round work of Witham was th
feature of the game. His two error
were on easy grounders which he waite,
for and then fumbled. The best catcl
was made by Durham on foul fly
which he caught above his head with {
bare hand after getting tangled up II
some wire. A. King, although making
four costly errors in the first part of th'
game, steadied down and played fin,
ball. Newton and A. King also batted
we'll, especially when there were mel
lon bases.

In the sixth Lawler got to fret on
fielder's choice. Durham fumbled

In the seventh Witham met the ball
for two bases and scored on Newton's
single. This tied the score again. In
the ninth Paris got another run on sue.
cessive singles by Witham, Newton, and
A. King. In Mechanic Falls halt Lord
got his second two base hit and went to
third on Meserve's grounder which
Lowell fumbled but Davis got 1t to first
in time to get him. Mccain then hit
grounder to Davis, who juggled it too
long to get Lord at the plate, so got his
man at first.
In the tenth neither side scored. A
double play spoiled the last chance for
Paris. Lowell walked Whitman, who
stole second while Lord was striking out
and then third. The decisions In both
these cases we're very close, the base run
ner being favored. Meserve then put
the ball over Bigelow's head, bringing
Whitman in with the winning run and
only one man out.
