Base Ball.
PARIS H. s. IL; LEWISTON H. 8. 0.

Paris High continued the fine work II
has been doing on the diamond this sea-
son Saturday afternoon at tho high
school grounds when 1t shut out Low
iston High, thus scoring three shut-outs
in tho five games played. The brand OF
ball played by the home team was OF the
highest quality, not an error marred
their work, and one play turned In BY
Edwards and another made by Bonney
brought ont much enthusiasm from the
large crowd present.
Although the visitors were badly out
classed, and the result Of the game never
In doubt after the second inning, it was
not bad game to watch, Lewiston do
ing some very good fielding and fighting
hard to the end In q constant endeavor
to score at least one run. These facts
made the supporters of the Paris team
forget the one sidedness OF the score and
all remained to the end to see II the Wis
itors could get man across the plate.
However, the pitching OF Penfold and
his perfect support made defensive
game that was too strong for them to
overcome. This was the first time the
two schools have ever met, and despite
the score, Lewiston made . very favor
able impression, and future contests will
be looked forward to with pleasure.
Penfold struck out seventeen mon, 10
the third, fourth and ninth getting all
three batters on strikes. Not more than
two Of these were called out by the um.
pire, the others failing to touch the ball
on the third strike. He did not pass q
man and allowed only six hits. Paris
got to Welsh for nine hits, including a
double by Edwards and triple by Dow.
He also passed FIVE men, four of whom
scored, while he got but six
of them on strikes.
Tracy, the visiting second baseman,
pu, up fine game. Gould made one
I. God catch In right field, while Dufail
seemed to be the live wire OF the team.
He was on the move every minute, and
we like to see the "never- say-die" spirit
which he showed.
For Paris, Bonney's work was a feat
ure. Three of his four assists came on
hard chances which he handled very
,eanly. This players ability to make
hard plays look easy becomes more ap-
parent 10 each game. Perham, with
eighteen put-outs to his credit, again
! en- oustra' ed his ability to handle Pen
folds delivery. 1t seldom happens that
put-outs are made by three
but Perham, Penfold and Wight
we're the only Paris players credited
With put-outs.

Thirty-siX players in the Government
League have batted for percentages of
more than 800 during the first series,
which ended with Saturdays game.
Usually a league Is fortunate to have
ten men hitting the ball above the
coveted standard, but that the Govern
ment has such an exceptional number
is indicative of more than ordinary
capabilities with the stick.
Lyons of the bureau team has an av-
erage of 1000, but he has been at bat
only once. The real leader is Fraser
of the Navy, who has taken part in
eight contests and has an average of
.555. Thompson, Bishoff and Burke
come ahead of Fraser, but they have
not taken part in as many contests.
Thompson has played in three games,
has been at bat six times and made
four safeties: Bishoff has been in five
and has an average of .667; Burke has
played four and hot for .571.
Fraser and Sill of Navy tie for the
number of hits made, each having con-
nected for fifteen. Jenkins and Strain
of the Marines and Newton of the
and several others have driven the
ball into safe territory thirteen and
twelve times.
Barnhart of Library is the thirty
seventh man in the batting list and he
has an average of just 800.
The records of those that have batted
for 300 or over follow:

The Nationals during the past week
stood still in the batting averages, but
went up six points in fielding, the hg-
ures below covering all the games
played this season. including Satur-
days exhibition. Tom Connolly still
holds on to the leadership with the
bat, but he is slowly drifting back
falling away from .345 last Monday to
1872 today. "Rippy" Williams also
has fallen away with the stick, leaving
the aristocratic 800 class. his figures
showing 2S3 to date. Shanks' work
with the stick shows a big improve
ment and he is now in third place
among the locals. Morgan and Foster
about held their own, neither advanc-
ing or falling back. Milan has six
stolen bases TO his credit, which isn't
saying much for the speed Of Griffith $
