| PARIS a s. /; HEBRON ACADEMY O.
| At last, the worm has turned. Paris
High School has won victory over He.
bron Academy in base ball. They have
pinned defeat on their championship
aspirations for the season of 1918, and at
the same time made good job Of 1t by
applying coat Of whitewash. 1t took
Paris ten innings of the hardest kind OF
base ball to do the trick, but they accom-.
plished 1t, playing on Hebron's grounds,
before Hebron crowd and against q
Hebron umpire, with all that that i'm
plies.
After shutting Hebron out for nine
innings and being in turn shut out by
them for the same length of time, Paris
went in and won out in their half of the
tenth inning. Edwards opened the in
ming by hitting to Nadeau and beating the
throw to first. Capt. Newton followed
with clean two base hit into left field,
the best hit of the game, putting Paris
runners on second and third with no one
out. L. Davis hit ground ball to the
left Of the pitcher on which Edwards at
tempted 10 score and was called out at
the plate. Newton went to third on the
play and L. Davis to secoud. Shaw
made the second out for Hebron on a
foul fly to the catcher. Bigelow Was
then the man Of the hour and chopped q
nice hit into left field on which Newton
scored. L. Davis also attempted to
score from second on the play but as he
rounded third base he was tripped by
Hebron man and went forward on 10 his
hands aud knees. He regained his feet
and kept on toward the plate and was
thrown out BY the nsrrowest margin.
Had it not been for the dirty playing he
also would have scored. However, one
score was enough as Hebron was easy in
their half Of the inning. Newton made
fine catch of Rings foul fly for the first
out, Macdonald went out on ground
ball to first, and Butler, the leading man
on the Hebron batting order, ended the
game with a strike out.
The game was pitchers battle from
the start to the finish, both men doing
good work and both receiving support Of
the highest class. Iu the tenth inning
Macdonald weakened and was batted for
three hits, while Penfold finished as
strong as when he started, in fact, did
his best pitching towards the end of the
game. he did not a nd 1t necessary to
work as hard through the game as did
MacD Donald and was always holding 2
little something in reserve. Penfold
struck out seven men, allowed only two
hits, gave two passes and hit one batter.
struck out eight, did not pass
a man, thanks to Umpire Brown, and
was hit safe four times, three Of the hits
being punched in the tenth and causing
his defeat.
Paris went out in order in six of the
ten innings and did not threaten serious
" to score until they accomplished the
trick in the last inning. Hebron also
was out in order in six Of the ten innings,
but lost good chances to score in several
other innings because of their inability
10 secure a hit, when it would have
meant run and probably the game. In
the second Hebron bad men on second |
and third with one man out. Edwards
then threw out Stanley at first without
giving Hebron chance to score, and !
Shaw pulled in Gallant's fly for the last
out. In the fourth with two men gone,
Nadeau drew pass and Blake hit safely |
and again there were runners on second !
and third waiting for the hit that would |
score them. Again the batter hit to Ed
wards who made perfect play and got
his man at first.
In the sixth Butler and Drake waited
On second and third and saw Penfold |
strike out Nadesu, considered Hebron's
best batter, and Edwards throw out
Blake at first for the third out. Hebron's !
last chance came in the ninth, and once |
more Edwards gathered in Gallant's
hard hit ground ball and bya fast, per |
feet throw, got his man at first for the
last out.
Paris victory was one in which the
whole team had part, every man doing !
well bis part when called on. OF curse |
the work of the battery was the strong
est feature. Besides preventing Hebron
from batting to any extent, they |
did excellent work in keeping the base
runners near the bases. Penfold caught
two men off first, and Newton just
missed getting one of the Hebron run
ners off third. The result was Hebron
took no chances on the bases and did
not steal base during the game.
The score:
