of pitching balls that had been in
the river, and the Fort Dummer men
came from behind and won 10 to 6. /
Clune said after the game that his
shoulder snapped after pitching one
and he asked Spike Davis, captain
of the new Company I team, to be
taken out in the eighth, but the team
was 50 confident with their lead of
FIVE runs that the request for relief
| was considered a joke.
| But the cotton mill team, quick to
| take advantage of a weakening pitch
Ter, opened the ninth with merry tat
| too off everything Jim handed them
and the weak end of the batting or
der started the banging. Brother Tom
contributed a wild throw in an effort
to check the torrent Of stolen bases
which were adding to the consterna-
ton of the supposedly victorious team.
Lee furnished a three-bagger for
Gougen by grievously misjudging a
wicked line drive and then showing
his disgust by only jogging after the
ball. The Company l team quit cold
when things broke badly for them,
direct contrast to the stick-to-itive-
ness of the Fort Drummer team which
was behind until the last inning.
Two sensational catches by Dennison
in left field for Fort Dummer, Bull
let's old .catcher in the mill league
of North Adams, Mass, corking good
third base play by Sassanan of the
same team, who is to play with Com
Ipany | in the future, the hard hitting
of Captain "Spike' Davis of Com
i pany I with that of Bressette of Fort
Dummer, together with the steadiness
Of Bullet, who did not issue a pass
and who had only one bad inning
the fourth, We're features of really
interesting game.
The first three innings passed with
J a pair of scratch singles by each team
and no scores. The fourth . Spike -
opened with a ripping double to right
and Lee pounded a long single to
center. J. Jones contributed the first
of his string of errors off I. Clune s
. grounder. F. Dunlevy singled to left
and his brother to right and after
. Clarity and jim Clune had famed Ri
ley shot another hit to left and four
runs had crossed the rubber. The last
two came in the fifth. Bullet pulled
Nightingale off the sack with a wide
: throw of Blaks s easy roller. ''Spike
doubled inside the right foul line and
J. Davis contributed his usual error on
chance, which gave the two runs.
i Had it not been for the two errors
; four runs would have been the tota
: for Company I.
A pass to Sassanan in the fifth, fol
{ lowed by a fielder s choice in whicl
E Gougen was cut off at third, allowing
: Sassanan second, and long double by
Holt to left center, gave Fort Dumme
! their first run.
: Two more came in the eighth wher
! Clune began to weaken Dennisol
. opened with clean single to left cen
: ter ana Bressette doubled to right
& Nightingale and J. Davis flied respee
d lively to Spike and Lee and the
e '"Spike'' had an easy chance on Nc
s Leean s grounder, but carefully threy
7 it to the bleachers, two cheap run
crossing the plate.
j But the ninth was the real thing i
swatfest. Clune continued in tn
o box because of the over-confidence o
Q his team. Sassanan opened with a sin
ole to center. Bullett drove one a
u most over second. Holt sent out
long fly to right on which Sassana
= made third after the catch Demise
beat out tap to J. Clune, Sassana
a. scoring. Bullet, having previousl
stolen second and advanced to thir
Is on the last play, allowed Dennison
promptly steal unmolested. Bressett
he again came to time with a hard sil
as gle to left. Nightingale was passe
r; after having been struck out, but In
e.; pire Millett lost one of the strike
n Bressette, when T. C1une threw wi
IS, to catch him stealing third, kept c
ar, home and Nightingale made second.
