Deacon Morrissey put 1t all over the
visitors Thursday. guessing his bat
ters In such great style that they were
not able to place the balls safely. They
hit the ball all right, nearly every
time, but there was Colt waiting at
each spot for which the ball was label
ed and all proved easy outs.
Only one bingie fell safe. and that
was double by Putnam In the first
innings Had Burke been playing for
left-hand batter he would have cap
tured the drive and Deacon would have
no-hit game to his credit.
AS it was. the game ended in favor
of the locals by the score of 2 to |.
The visitors scored their lone tally in
the first and the Colts came back
with two In the second.
man reached first In the second,
but after that only three men faced
Mcrrissey In each inning and he now
ed them down with ease. Morrissey
got away with the game by receiving
fdultless support from the team back
o. him. Easy and difficult chances
seen1ed to took all alike TO the Colts
and they played all around the Goob-
ers.
Score in First.
Things looked rather dark for the
locals III the first inning, when Deacon
passed one man and he scored on a
double. Booze opened the inning by
fiying out TO Shaw, but Mcfarland
drew a pass and went to second on
BoWen's out at first. Putnam came
up and with strikes on him clouted
the ball to left center. Burke was
playing too far around to left and
could not reach the drive Mcfarland
scored and kirkpatrick ended the in
a hts tF,r g.
In the second inning Chunk opened
up by driving hard pne at Shaw:
the second sacker fumbled the ball and
threw to first too late to catch the
runner. Toner sacrificed him to sec
ond, but Kunkle struck out, and Han
nifan was an easy out, Shaw to Dob
son.
After this the visitors did not have
look in at anything. Not one OF
them reached FIRST base. and Morris
sey held them completely at his
mercy.
Colts Take Lead.
The Colts were easy for Hannifan
In the first inning and went out in
one-two- three order. In the second,
however, Titman caught one OF Han
nifan's shoots in the middle OF the
back, and Bunting sent one at Toner
that WAS too hard TO handle -Titnaan
thought the third baseman caught the
ball on the fly and did not leave first
Instead of throwing TO second, Toner
pegged to first to catch Bunting and
the throw was wild, the ball going I'M
der the fence. Titman went to third
and Bunting to second.
With men on second and third and
only one out things looked bright
Tor the locals. Dobson came up and
smashed one straight at kirkpatrick
the ball took a bad bound over his
| head, and before 1t could be recovered
Titman and Bunting had crossed the
! pan for the only two TALES scored by
