GAME FULL OF ERRORS.
Rockland Ball Team Takes Home
~ an Easy Game Sunday.


team handed the Rockland boys a
same OF ball Sunday at the local
grounds and the visitors did not
have to play a bit for it. 1t was
a game SO full OF errors that there
was no telling how high the score
was to 800 Hit and run was the
, order Of the game and the more
men OF the local team had to handle
the ball the more bases would be
made by the visitors There are
only a few people OF this city who
could guess that our team could pile
up so many errors j one game of
ball-but it is now the hope of the
fans that they have each made their
total number for the season and
Will now settle down TO their usual
good game
The cause of all the trouble could
rlshtfully be accredited 10 the fact
tnat Grover Evans, the regular man
behind the bat was not present and
mis- place was filled by d man new
10 this team this season behind the
Dat. This handicapped Foxy, and
as our team depends very much
upon the box work of Foxy, they
Went into the game with both knees
shaking and the longer they played
the more they shook.
When a team will total ten runs
off eight scattered hits in a game
there IS certainly something rotten
with the playing OF the other side.

Sunday Even eight hits in a nine
II ming game off Oliver is more than
he generally allows. but no one las
word 10 say against his work iu
this game waen they see the sup
port or lack of support in this game
Tyler did his best behind the bat
and he receives deserved credit for
II. but he was a stranger TO the pc.
sltion and was not able TO freeze
onto the drives from Foxy. which
caused our young pitcher TO hold
up from his usual game, giving the
Rockland batters an opportunity to
raise their batting average and our
team an opportunity to raise their
average of errors.
In the third Doc West was sta
toned behind the bat for aninning
but he was again replaced by Tyler I
who held the position until the /
eighth when Grover arrived and he (
took his place. Three men reached .
first in the wo innings with Grover =
as close TO a score as they did get, I
the game had been lost and his ar
rival probably saved the scorekeeper 4
some pencil and the crowd consider
able worry.

recorded
