Hits During Exciting
Contest

I
new moundsman, Walter Eckstrom, the
former Dartmouth college twirler,
spelled 2 to | defeat for the Beacons,
champions of the Manchester, n. H.,
city league, at Intercity park Saturday
afternoon. This diminutive parsonage,
who has gained much prominence dur
ing his utilization with Dartmouth col
lege, was an enigma to the Manchester
aggregation of ball tossers, holding them
to three hits, and but once was con-
fronted with dangerous situation, out
of which he wormed his way success
fully.
During the first five sessions Eek
strom pitched alright ball, and not
member of the Beacon team succeeded in
manGuyring to first base. With the
opening of the sixth inning, Mute made
wretched throw of Flanagan's ground
er, but the next three batters sue
cumbed in order Barring the seventh
inning, but three of the Manchester
team explored the base paths. Twelve
of the Manchester champions were num-
bered among his victims on strikes.
In one sense of the word, the game
was a pitchers battle, as Scott, the
Beaeons stellar moundsman, grew
stronger as the game progressed, and
was stumbling block to the locals
scoring machine. In the first inning, |
Scott was at sea and was unable TO To- |
cate the plate, passing three men, whichSI
aided by couple of errors and hits, |
manufactured brace of counters for |
the Athletics and proved sufficient to |
annex the game. Scott was the pos

fling, mixing up steam with roundhouse
curves.
One of the fielding features of the
game was contributed in the closing mo.
ments of the game by Connors, the cen
ter fielder of the Beacons. The fleet
footed outfielder made circus catch of
a long line drive off the bat of Eckstrom.
The ball sailed on a line into right cen
ter and Connors while romping at top
speed snaked the ball out OF the air
and robbed the Barre pitcher OF sure
two base hit.
Mute, the first Barre batter to face
the bat, was promenaded to first on
four wide ones. BLACK" Wright laid
down clever bunt towards first base
and beat the throw to the base, both
runners being safe Bill Johnston sacri-
heed the base runners along peg with
neat bunt. Hoernle hit to G. McCar-
Thy, who threw Mute out at home. With
Wright on third and Hoernle on first, the
after started TO steal second base. In
'elaying the ball, c. Mccarthy threw
Wild and Wright counted. On the play
Ioernle drew up at third. Gay was
ieketed and purloined second. Catcher
Flanagan of the Beacons threw to third {
'ase to nip Hoernle off the bag. The
brow was perfect, but Gingrass muffed
he ball and Hoernle tailed. Tongiay
lad also been passed, but efforts were /
ruthless for further scoring. i
In the seventh inning Eekstrom I
bowed signs of wildness. He passed q
Vingate, the first batter of the inning. Q
