at Madison

to be Played Between the SkOwhe.
gans and Madis0ns

The Skowhega1 boys went up to
Madison Saturday and defeated the
baseball team in that town by a
score of IA to 10. 1t was the sec
ond game in a series of six which
the two teams are playing against
each other.
The Madisons were determined to
win the game and kept Akeley the
Dover and Foxcroft pitcher who held
the Livermore Falls team down to
two scratch hits on Thursday, over
to administer a coat of white wash
to the Skowhegan team. Evidently
however, it wasn't Akeley's day. He
had everything on the ball the first
inning but in the second inning
Skowhegan started in and nearly
knocked the cover off the ball. AXE
ley weathered second inning and the
third inning fairly well but in the
fourth inning he was driven from the
box under bombardment of hits. His
downfall was started through an er
ror by Bearor, that put Pooler on
first Then Husky Jim" came to the
bat, picked out one to his liking and
proceeded to give it a ride for three
bases. Then with Thorne on third,
Reed came up and picked out one
to his liking and proceeded to put it
into the bushes for two bases. This
was more than Allen could stand and
he came in from center field, yanked
Akeley out of the box and put in
"Cayey" who has always been a puz-
zle to all Skowhegan teams. Cave"
started off with his usual smile and
made the first man fly out to center
field but the second hit safe and the
fun had started. Reed was caught
out stealing the second and that ended
the scoring for that inning. In the
fifth inning, 0. Lacasce just to show
that it was not "Cayey's" day and
that the hoodoo was going to be
broken, proceeded to get a single.
Then Lebeau not to be out done
touched up "Cavey" for a triple. Not
only was the ball up in the air but
"Cayey" was likewise as he walked
Pooler, and Thorne proceeded to get
a Texas Lacquer out into center field
scoring Lebeau. The fifth inning
ended with a score of to in favor
of the Skowhegans.
In the sixth inning Cavanaugh re-
tired them in order. In the seventh
Lebeau starts off with a double, ad-
vances to second assist by La
casce and scores on hard hit by
Thorne, that was too hot for "Cavey".
Skowhegan at the end of the seventh
inning led by a score of to 5. In
the eighth the real slaughter of Ca
vey" began. In this inning Skowhe-
gan made two doubles and a single
and aided by three misplays Of Madi-
son scored four runs, which proved
to be too big handicap for Madison to
overcome In the ninth inning,
Skowhegan started off with a hit by
Pooler who went to second on wild
pitch by "Cavey" stole third and
scored on Goulette's slashing two
base hit to right field. Reed
reached the initial sack through the
kindness of Allen who was then play
ing second for Madison, took second
Oh a passed ball by Lacasce and scored
At this point the hitherto invincible
"Cayey", retired in favor of A. Head
who finished the agony for Madison
by tanning the first man and making
the second roll an easy grounder to
second base. The excitement how
ever. was not all over, for Madison
with that do and never die spirit came
to bat in their half of the ninth inn
ing with score of IA to against
them. Allen proceeded to fly out to
Lacasce, who made a grand stand
catch out of a hard fly, falling down
but came up with the ball in his hand.
E. Lacasce who had not done much
at the bat before picked out one to
his liking and proceeded to drive it
over the fleders' heads into the
dump and before the ball could be
returned had scored a home run,
"Cayey" not to be out-done, knocked
a two Dagger out into center field.
Head caught the habit and also
knocked a two Dagger out into left
field. Holway wishing to get into the
hit column proceeded to knock
slashing single out into the right field.
Bearor did the same as Holway, then
Moore put on more steam and famed
the next two batters and put an end
