renee High of Fairfield was forced to
take the count Saturday afternoon at
Quimby field by score of 10 to 5. The
Fairfield lads started in amazingly we'll,
securing three runs in the first inning.
1t was, however, the pace that kills, and
though Totman was able to hold the Car
diner boys for three innings without a
run, in the fourth he weakened when
the home boys began to find him and the
way that he and his successor. o. Lawry,
were pounded was little short of wicked.
In the fourth fifth, sixth and eighth the
home team, beginning with MacFarlane,
had every man at the bat and pulled out
II good runs.
After the end of the third it was hard
to judge whether the Lawrence High lads
were playing ball or chess, as Totman
would toss a few and then o. Lawry
would come trotting in from the field
and shortly after would be relieved by
Totman Time after time was this per-
Torrance repeated. In fact it was some
thing of a job to keep track of Fairfield
men as but two of their players ended the
game in the position in which they
started.
Gardiner certainly had her eye on the
ball and secured 20 hits with a total of
rs. The surprise of the game was the
way young "Freme" Littlefield made
good. Here evidently is some raw mate

hits, including three-bagger, for a total
of four.
After the first Cusick steadied down
and kept the hits we'll scattered, striking
out 10 men. Gardiner played consist

were made, but two proved at all costly.

and Gardiner were among the features of
