second contest, and fell helpless by the
wayside, under the mastery pitching
of Hallett, the Dartmouth twirler.
The opening game was fast and
clean throughout, and il looked as
though the tail enders would get away
with the contest until that swipe OF
Clutter Harvey's, in the sixth.
Corey, the New England League re-

safeties. Hurd. his opponent, pitched
gilt edged ball but in the sixth, sin
giles punched by Groves, Harvey ana
Newbert proved his undoing and the
Capital City team put four runs over
that were sufficient to bring home the
bacon.
Riley and Hallett were the oppos-
ing boxmen in the second game, the
ment by striking out nine men and al
lowing but one measley single only
TWO men saw first base in this game.
Niles reached first by a pass in the
fourth, but died there when Violette
pulled off a double play, unassisted,
on Patterson's pop fly. Riley was the
only other man to reach first, when
he singled to right in the sixth.
