- TOWN THE LUCKY ONE.

When Mitchell loses a game on
! the square there is no kick coming,
; but when the umpire will make such
q decision at the home plate as he
did in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES game
"wednesday afternoon in calling Pot
ter out at the plate then the fans feel
like putting up a yell that will reach
the ears of the officers of the league.
McDonald's umpiring up to the pres
ent has been very fair, but when he
waved Potter out at the plate and
prevented the tying of the score the
crowd felt like walking into him. At
! the conclusion of the game the fans
crowded around his jumps and hand
ed out some language which in a
measure relieved their feelings and
the excitement was running hi9h,
when Mac was conducted to a hack
to save his clothes from becoming
dusty.
The game, however, was one of
the best played on the home grounds
this season, and it took eleven in
! nings to settle the question. John
son and Clapper worked for Water
town and Potter and Erickson for
Mitchell.
Watertown scored in the first in
ming when the side should have been
retired. Corrigan crossed the plate
after two men were out, and he
should have been the third. Corri-
gan was making a u over to third
and Erickson shot the ball down to
Impson. 1t reached him on the
bound and the baseman fumbled it
and Corrigan was safe, when he
would have been out by ten feet if
the ball had gone there on the fly. A
hit by Kehoe brought Corrigan over
for the first run. ~
In the second inning Mitchell
threatened to score when Farley got
a lie by Killian dropping the ball in
the field. Gray got a life at first, and
with two on and none out things
looked good for business. Wilson
fouled out, and Impson famed, while
Potter flew out to left field. In Wa
tertown's third they went out in
straight order. Scanlon hit safely
as the first man up. Kennedy bunt-
ed a fly to Johnson and Scanlon was
doubled at first. Sherer hit safe to
right, but Roland went out to Ke-
hoe.
In the fourth Corrigan landed
safely, and Kehoe tried to send him
on but flew out to Roland. Grou-
dick, who hit a three Dagger Tues
day, grounded out to Roland. Kill
liam hit to Impson, who threw high
to Farley and the runner was safe.
With two on Fitzgerald tried to make
his salary stand better by a hit. but
he sent a long fly to Scanlon. Moth
ing doing for Mitchell in the fourth.
A pretty double play sent Water
town down in the fifth. Clapper
grounded out by Kennedy to Farley.
and Johnson followed with a hit.
Joe Corrigan hit to Kennedy, who
tossed the ball to Roland and he in
turn shot it over to Farley, complet-
ing the double. Mitchell went out
about as easy. With Potter and
Scanlon going out Kennedy got a safe
hit, but it brought nothing for Sher-
er few out to Joe Corrigan.
In the sixth Shuler and Jack Cor
rigan were easy outs via Kennedy and
Wilson's fly catch. Kehoe came up
and walloped out a three Dagger and
when the ball was field to third by
Scanlon. Kehoe ran over the bag.
Impson dropped the ball. whoch came
on the bound, but Potter was right
