Base Ball.
EDWARD LITTLE h. s. 2; PARIS Il. 8. o.

EDWARD LITTLE h. 8. 2; PARIS q. 9. o.
Another bard fought and interesting
game was played at the high school
grounds Saturday, and this time Paris
High came out on the losing end, after
outplaying the visitors for eight innings.
It was . hard game for Paris to lose, but
Dana, the star pitcher Of the visitors,
must be given credit for doing some fine
work In the pinches, for time after time
Paris was In position to score on bit,
and in one instance the hit came, but
poor base running prevented Paris from
scoring.
Penfold pitched splendid ball for eight
innings. In this time just one hit was
made of him and he gave one base on
balls. The man making the hit was I'm
mediately caught of first by Penfold,
and az no errors were made behind him,
the visitors sent just Is men to the bat
in eight innings, only one over the re-
quired number, and they never had .
look.in to score.
Paris was always dangerous, having .
man on second or third in the first, third,
fourth, sixth and ninth innings, and BE-
ing shut out without q man reaching f1rst
in only two innings, the second and
seventh. They got to Dana for five hits
and drove five other balls into the out
field, that were gathered In by the
Edward Little outfleldsrs. However,
they failed, except in one case, to bit
cleanly when bit was needed, and that
tells the story of their defeat.
At the close of the eighth inning,
neither team having scored, Edward
Little wanted the game called to allow
them to get their train and refused to
play longer unless Paris would guarantee
to provide transportation for them II
they missed the train. After about five
minutes argument Paris agreed to this,
and the game was resumed. Penfold at
once began to hurry his pitching and
the result was disastrous to Paris. With
one out, Stetson bit into right field and
went to second, when Merrill made q
poor throw, trying to get q put-out at
first. Burke hit for two bases, scoring
Stetson with the first run OF the game.
L. Bartlett hit to Merrill, and Burke
scored from third after the catch, Mer-
rill's throw in taking bad bound to q.
Bartlett. Chippendale singled, but
TASTY flied to Brooks.
Merrill started the last half of the
ninth with fine hit and stole second.
Dow flied to Coombs. Penfold was
thrown out at 6rst by Dana, and Nelson
ended the game by making a fine one
banded catch Of Bartlett's long fly into
deep center field.
And the Auburn boys caught the train
all right.

It was a disappointed crowd that
gathered at the high school grounds
Wednesday afternoon. when 1t was ex-
pected that Paris High would play
Lewiston High. As the visitors failed
to appear at the appointed time they
were called on the telephone and 1t was
then learned that they had made no
preparations to come on that date. Just
how the mixup in the dates occurred is
not explained. This is the second time
this season that game advertised with
Lewiston High has been given up.
There will be two games at the high
school grounds next Saturday afternoon.
Paris High will play its last game of the
season against team composed OF
alumni of the school. There are some
very good players among the alumni,
who will be at homo at that time and
good game may be expected. Follow
ing this game South Paris town team
will open its regular season with game
against Norway. The indications are
that the Paris team will be strong one.
The game Saturday afternoon was the
L. lob
scheduled for this season, and the mem
bers OF the team and all interested In the
school have reason to be proud OF the
record made by this years team. Start
ing the season with only three players
from the team of one year ago left In
school, the outlook was discouraging,
and few practice games did not make
one feel any better az to the teams
prospects, but hard work counts.
and the school was never represented by
a team that has worked harder to win.
They were very fortunate In their selec.
ton of coach, and to Mr.. Boucher must

showing they have made. he has work.
ed increasingly with the team all through
the season, be knows base ball and has
impaired q lot Of knowledge of the game
to the team. By his work he has won
the respect of every member of the team
and of the townspeople in general. Paris
defeated Gould Academy, won both
games from Mechanic Falls and took
both of the Norway games. They were
defeated by Edward Little High oil
Auburn 10 two hard fought games, the
only high school team that was able to
win victory over them.
