1 Norwich took second place in the | league. dislodging Middletown by de- feating the Bannonites, F to 10, al ! Sachem park on Thursday afternoon | From pitcher down through the whole | nine, Middletown was played off its | feet by the Strick work and base run ' ming of the boys under Capt. Duff, who | had the visitors up in the air wonder | ing what new move was to be pulled 1 off next. In the third inning Hafey had the same fortune that happened to him once before here and he was yanked from the slab to give place to Ferris. Usually Ferris has had the Norwich hitters buffalied, but they laid into his curves with run producing re- suits this time.
 Ramon had Edgar shifted from sec
 ond to short and Bates playing second
 instead of right field. The Norwich
 team had two new faces in the lineup,
 Gus Yell from the Rhode Island Mill
 league playing second instead of
 Strickfuss and pitcher Wallace, who
 has just been released from Willi-
 mantle, in the box Strickfuss was in
 right field The new second baseman
 handled his fielding chances nicely,
 participating at the pivot point in a
 double play. Wallace was hit hard
 early in the game, but settled down
 to pitch good ball in the latter part
 The 200 spectators got more for their money than often comes in game, as they watched both sides run the bases till there were ruts in the paths, Mid- dletOwn tumble fielding chances and thrown balls at every opportunity and Norwich dodge along the lines till they had Middletown dizzy and Bannon purple in the face with rage at the way his boys were throwing the ball around. To add to this Umpire Edgar ton had an off day and was about as bad as he could be without requiring police protection for several gilt edged pieces of misjudgment.
 rO n start, making two runs in the first in- ming, but Norwich promptly tied it up principally through the double steal executed by Duff and Noonan on which the latter scored. Duff then stole third and F'rieI's single brought him in.
 Ramon took a leaf out of Duff's book in the second inning, starting the base running game and for a while it look ed as if the home team were to be closed with their own medicine. Four hits off Wallace helped in the confu- sion and four runs were scored for Middletown. but after that the home team settled into the traces and turned back the hopeful Middletown players. Norwich batted Hafey out of the box in the third and tied the score. In the fourth and fifth Norwich gained a lead of four runs 10 to 6. Middletown tied this by a brace of runs in both the sixth and eighth innings but Nor wich pulled away and won out in their half of the eighth.
 The winning runs were scored in an exciting session Friel was walked and Ferris put two men on by fumbiing Anderson's attempted sacrifice. Jupes Mcintyre who played right field for the last five innings did the running for friel who was hurt in a collision with Harris. Yell, the new second baseman, pushed both runners forward with a sacrifice Then Q, powwow was in order for it was discovered that Jupes was on third running while it was his turn to bat after Yell. Jupes came in to bat while Jackie Ga1livan took his place on third bag. Jupes got away with a. lucky scratch hit that bounded over Ferris head, scoring Gal livan from third. Wallace scored An derson with a sacrifice fly.
 Among the features were a one-hand
