ORLEANS APPLIES WHITEWASH
With Bernard Lee in the box for
Orleans that team applied coat of
whitewash to the Lyndonville ball
team Monday. Labor day, with a final
score of 10 to 0. Not a man on the
Lyndonville team reached second dur
ing the nine innings. while Orleans
fellows were able to hit the ball hard
all through the game and ran bases at
will. The first scores came after two
men were gone in the second, when
an error put man on first which was
followed by Turnbull's home run to
the river, scoring two men, Mathews
beat out bunt, Laird was passed,
"Chick' Bassett hit. scoring Turnbull
and Ted Lee Immediately followed
with hit, scoring Laird and Bassett,
with this handicap Lyndonville showed
little chance and played an cratic
game. Orleans scoring again in the
fifth and four more in the 7th. Heath
played a brilliant game for Orleans
and Chick Bassett seemed to have
recovered from his bad day Saturday.
His throws were clean and nine men
were nipped at second by him. Errors
on the part of Lyndonville in mis-
judging fys in the outield were
responsible for several of the runs.
Lee was never in hole and had perfect
control at all times, not passing man
and stripping out eight men. Lavely
was hit hard at opportune times and
had wretched support throughout the
game. The score by innings:
