Comedy of Errors.

The name that Shakespeare gave to his
play, THE Comedy of Errors. would be-
fit appeilation for he farce that took
place between Cony and Hallowell on the
Muster field last Saturday afternoon
The visitors We're given run after run
by errors, but that is not ALL Paine, who
has always been Cony's Nemesis, both In
baseball and football, was batted hard
II hits being secured off his delivery. On
top of this, he was given heart breaking
support in the field.
The day was favorable to baseball and
long before the game was called the
grandstand was/illed to oyerfiowlng by
rooters for both teams. Chess We're
given Justify by both HallowelFs and
Gony's respective cheering squads and
everybody was in a happy frame of
mind.
At o'clock the game was called, and
then the sad tragedy began. Cony Sc
cured three runs in the first inning. while
Hallowell failed to get man across the
plate. The game was then without a
score until the fourth, when Cony scored
two more runs. In the fifth inning, Hal
lowell scored man. while Cony scored
none In the sixth Cony scored two
more runs, while in the eighth one more
was added In the last of the eighth
Hallowell scored its last run. The ninth
and last inning saw Cony send three
more men across the plate, while Halo
well received a goose egg.
For Cony, Harvey pitched an excellent
game, allowing but three scattered hits
and tanning II of his opponents. Mitch
ell caught a good game and his hitting
was feature Wyer, Marston and New
bert were stars of the game, all playing
errorless ball and batting like fends
Cooper did well at the bat
For Hallowell, w. Niles and Howard
played the most consistent game, both
finishing the game minus errors. w
Niles. Cottle and Gray We're the only
men able to solve "Chutter" Harvey $
delivery, Niles pushing out a pretty two
base hit, and the other two men getting
nice singles.
This is the last game of the season OF
1912. which was fairly successful, the To-
cal boys having won seven and lost five
games, a percentage OF IA.
