Mechanics Cop Lead in First and Are Never Headed- Timely
 Hitting by Bailey and Snyder

The Mechanics took their first lea que game from the Papermakers yes terday, the local boys finding Pitcher Geiser pipe. ''Chief' Snyder was the big works shutting out the enemy af- ter the fourth inning. Timely batting coupled with the Riff Boys slip ups land the game. The Springfield Un- ion has the following account:
 Holyoke, May 25.-Mixing hits with pebbles by the Biff Roys in the open ing innings and later on chasing up a couple of passes with timely swats, H. Eugene McCann's Mechanics drilled around the tally trail seven times in the course of yesterday afternoons s nine round seance on the Berkshire street ball yard. In those early sec tions, the hapless homesters also suc- ceeded in sandwiching in few well placed belts with Bridgeport breaks, but after they had raised their run total to three in four innings, they had to be content with ciphers for the rest of the route. This sudden stop page of scoring on the home side was due to Chief Snyder, the visiting pei let vender, who doled out but single hit in the last five innings, that saf- ety was not coming until the ninth where it was wasted as the next bat ter tumbled into a double play.
 As has been the case in most of the locals recent games, the opposing out fit got the jump on them, the Me chanics attaching two runs to the ScorebOard in the getaway inning and always managing to keep ahead. In the second the hopes of Foster sup porters were frightened when couple of hard drives produced two runs but that was about the only time there was a chance for any domestic cheer fitness Geiser might have made the battle more even with smoother sup port in the early innings, errors by 'Ruell and Perkins, handicapping him, but when the McCann clan did get to the local mounder there was plenty of beef behind their blows. Geiser stepped down in the eighth to allow Foster to bat for him and Smith com pleted the game, allowing one hit and one run during the time that he was on the firing line.
 Geiser got away strong by striking out Hall. Then Eley laid one down to short and RuelI wrestled with the pill long enough to let the Bridgeport captain to reach first. Kustus kicked third, but he was decapitated at the home plate when Bailey bowled one down to Baker. The play put aKus- tus on third and Bailey on second and both scored when Ladd licked a base hit into left. Two more tallies were trotted over in the second by the visitors. Miller reached first when Perkins messed his grounder. Kocher sacrificed and Snyder's swipe for two bags scored Miller, Geiser frightened up and picked Hall and Eley off on strikes.
 Perkins pried the lid off the last half of Round with double into right. Duggan drove a hard one at Kustus. which the left fielder muffed, Ruell skied to shortstop, but Stroh shot a keystone sack counter into cen ter, sending Perkins and Duggan across.
 The McCann men moved another run ahead in the third. Bailey drew four balls with one down and stole second Ladd hoisted afoul for Stroh and Stowe was safe on an error by Perkins. Stroh shot the ball down to Perkins to get Bailey off the dizzy corner, but the ball went to left field and Bailey scored. Miller was trim
