IssAILIwooD HIT FREQUENTLY
i'm SEVERAL FRAMES. AND HIS
ERROR INCREASES SCORE.
By G. M. MONTGOMERY

The Colts lost many oppor-
unities for scoring in the game
NTH the Shipbuilders yester-
lay afternoon, and to this
more than to any other reason
$ due the fact that Walter
kmallwood was not returned
winner, the Matthews clan
hnnexing the fracas 4 to 3.
There was just one differ
knce between the two aggrc
Eations and that was that the
risitors made the most of their
wo chances to do things in
he scoring line, while the
rolts did not. Bob Austin
lurled a fair game, and but
or Chastant's error might
ave escaped with having but
me run scored off him. How
yer, he was evidently weak
ming toward the sixth frame,
nd when the locals landed on
tim for a couple of bingles in
he seventh, one of them be
ing a double, Matthews yanked
he lad and substituted Paxson

rame. Only eight innings
we're played, Williams calling
he game when it became so
lark that neither players nor
pectators could see the ball.
The game was rather a free hitting
Tair with the bingles about evenly
ivided. Scattered throughout the
