Winthrop z; WaterviIIe 8.

Winthrop was an easy winner from
Waterville. Friday afternoon, by a
score of to 8. The Waterville team
was scrub team, Waterville having
disbanded and left the league and DIS
a consequence the team which repre-
scented her was rather weak. Stobie,
who pitched for the visitors, was a
decided disadvantage, as Churchill
could not hold him. York went into
the box for Winthrop and pitched gilt
edged ball for five innings. He re-
manned in the game for the whole
nine innings but was hit freely, dur
ing the last four. 1t was his first
game, this season.
The heavy hitting by both teams
was the feature of the game. Dustin
of the Waterville team was high line
at bat. with a double and triple to
his credit. Churchill, Piper, Bradford
