Orleans Makes it Even Break.

Not since ''the good old days." has
there been any such crowd or en-
thusiasm at Skinner Athletic park as
was seen last Saturday, when the
North Troy team arrived for it's second
game with Orleans. A week ago
North Troy were able to tie up the
score in the latter part of the game
and finally win by score Of to 6,
but Saturday no scores were made after
the fifth inning, and the final score of
to 3 shows just about the margin
that Orleans had on their visitor all
through the game. A perfect day
drew one of the best crowds seen at 4
the park in long time and with a
total of 26 automobiles parked at the
grounds, the little grandstand fairly
we'll filled and over one hundred local
fans occupying the benches. the boys
certainly had good support, and they
furnished an exhibition of the kind of
ball that should draw crowds to all
their games, the very best feature of
it all being the fact that the entire
team was loyal aggregation. North
Troy pinned their hope to Hadlock,
south paw box artist, and he GER
tainly pitched good game. but when
hits were actually needed to keep the
lead. Orleans boys were always equal
to theoccasion. H. Bassett the pitcher
for Orleans was continually feeding
that slow dope which week ago and
again in this game, proved the entire
undoing of the North Troy batters.
On an attempted double play in the
first with one on and Heath's single
through third, North Troy made their
first tally. but in the second half of
the inning a pass. bunt by ''Ted"
Lee and line drive from Pike put
two across and with two out Doe
Pike. so that the end of the inning saw
the score to in Orleans favor. Both
pitchers were going good in the second
and third. and nothing doing. In the
fourth North Troy scored another run
on hit by Dana and advanced on
Gardyne's slow bunt, an error per-
hitting him to reach third and score
on the next man up who hit through
second. In the fifth North Troy put
another run across, and for just a min,
ute the score stood at three three, but
in Orleans half of the fifth with two
gone and man on second, Pike and
Turnbull hit the ball hard and before
the third out, Orleans had cooped two
more runs and was again in the lead.
After the fifth inning neither side
scored and each pitcher tried to out
guess the other, with the honors easily
going to Bassett: men whom we have
known to hit the ball hard, swung
wildly at that slow ball of Bassett's
or popped the easiest kind of flies.
Both teams played good clean game,
and permit us to remark that the UNI
piring of DR.. Cleasby was the most i'm
partial as we'll as the cleanest of ex-
hibitions there were few features. and
no grand stand stunts on either team,
Orleans got to Heath little but he
took it in good part and played fast
clean game for North Troy making
two of their seven hits and fielding
some mighty fast infeld hits. Dana's
big stick contributed much to North
Troy's scores. Orleans played ball
every minute of the game and we have
already mentioned the features. Below

We understand that Orleans has the
three games during the county Fair,
good judgment on the part of the Fair
management, let us hope that North
Troy may be one Of the contestants,
they are good team.
