minor colleges. all of them preparatory
to the bigger games toward the close Of
the season. Lowell had had a rather
easy time Of it up to the fourth inning. at
which time the score stood to 0 in IA
vor of the varsity. The game had been
played in a drizzle of rain. the ball was
wet. the grounds slippery and errors
were the rule instead of the exception.
F'ielders had tumbled over themselves
chasing balls over the wet grass, and
players who had attempted the falI-away
slide would hardly be recognized on ac-
count of their mud-stained uniforms.
In the seventh, eighth and ninth in
nings Miner had given way to Babe. as
the game looked safe, and Babe had an
off day. for Barber secured six hits in
the three innings which. mixed with the
errors. enabled the visitors to pile up
five runs. while the Lowell team was do
ing nothing in the tally line.
The game ended, however. with Low
ell still two runs to the good and the
game was ours, but this il the way Tim S
report of parts looked in the Reporter the
next day after he had reduced his idea Of
the contest to writing. For the first time
his inspiration led him into new kind
of report. Here it is:
Lowell. {; Barber, 3.

to swing the willow for the enemy. push

bag. knight hit sun scraper into the
meridian and Bibbie pocketed it on the
return trip. Wilson stung the pellet to
Rockville. which Ty annexed without
leaving his Office.
Ross launched a Lusitania to Amberg
which broke down in midocean. Everson
loafed around the rubber for four mis-
fits and got them. Little Arthur stung
beauty over the near station, which took
him TO the first stop and opened the
switches for Eversons run TO the middle
junction.. Hagner bumped daisy scorch-
er to Joe which the latter picked, but 1t
went as sacrifice as Delvin navigated
to second and the Human Crab breezed
TO third. Ty swung his trusty locust
against the first groove cutter and the
horsehida stamped his initials on the club
house fagpole. while he almost beat
Everson and little Arthur to the water
cooler after his circle of the bags Mr.
Talkington while waiting on four was
chased with three, and Larke sent one
singing to the curve box which the slab
artist tossed to the initial sack ahead Of
him.
Second Inning.
Amberg sent one over the shortest
route to Everson. Wheeler spun three
times and sat down. Dorner initiated
Wheeler perfectly. Black did what was
expected of the pitcher. Gibbie got a
one-timer back of Wilson Ross arched
one to Knight. Everson dropped one In
front of the rubber. Gibbie annexing the
keystone bag. Little Arthur was there
with dewdrop which Wilson picked off
the grass too late to shut the door on
either Gibbte. Everson or Delvtn VINO
