a little, and the Jump yell, "out at Sec
ond." And then Jerry would put on
the feather bed and headgear and go
at it again.
Moore, who started off for the los
ers, lasted just four innings when
three two-sackers and a single net
ting four runs, was his jinx, and he
retired. Haskell, who relieved him,
pitched good ball but was touched up
quite freely. 1t was just the day when
the Hicks had their batting eye with
them, as the summary shows.
Coach Soule did not put his regular
first team on the field and of course
used his second string pitchers. But
at that it was a pretty good game.
Morton at second played in whirl-
wind manner, accepting three out of
four chances. Sawyer at first was in
form and he not only fielded in superb
fashion but tapped out three bingles,
one for an extra base.
r 1t was a lucky day for the right
fielders, no balls coming their way.
Simpson had row boat with him,
and he needed it.
Cony played good ball but consid-
cred it but a practice game, which it
was. and did not take the interest
Hill, who caught the latter part OF
the contest, put up his usual game,
holding Haskell In fine style.
Cony was scheduled to play Water
VILE High Wednesday but owing to
the fact that the up-river team has
cancelled the game, it is possible that
he oil
against the regular Cony High school
lineup. There will be no exhibition to
this-it will be regular game and
it is possible that Brennan will do the
twirling. Following is the summary:

Batting two pitchers from the box
and running bases in Ty Cobb fash
ion the Hickeys defeated the "neaIs
Cony'' High baseball team Thursday
afternoon in an exhibition game on
the Reuel Williams field by the final
score of 9 to 4. 1t was a real base
ball game and although the crowd on
hand was not large the game fur
nished those who were SO fortunate
as to be present with good after
moons entertainment.
H-i-ck-e-y-s, Hickeys, that's the
name, and although it is a team that
has been playing bush league ball for
sometime it came through Thursday
with the necessary. Jerry Carey, the
old Pettingill's Corner star, was be-
hind the bat and the way he handled
the sphere was caution. Woe unto
the man who started for second, for
it was simple. Larry Silver would
take the throw, the dust would fly
