SACHEMS SPLIT EVEN
IN SERIES WITH WESTERLY.
Lost Saturday, But Came Back Strong
Sunday.

Before a large crowd the Sachems
turned the tables on the fast Westerly
aggregation Sunday at the Falls by a
score of As. The game was fast and
interesting and well played by both
sides and was by far the best game
played at the Falls this season. The
Sachems changed their batting order
and it worked to splendid advantage.
How the runs were scored: Neither
side scored in the opening inning.
Second inning, for Sachems, Anderson
singled and went to second on CaSey's
sacrifice and scored on Cranka's line
drive to right. In the Westerly half of
the second, Ferrero doubled and scored
on W. Johns single. Westerly scored
again in the third inning when john
son, Spencer and Cronin singled in sue
cession, Johnson scoring. Neither side
scored until the sixth inning, when
Cronin walked and scored on Mona
hons double to center. Sachems, sixth
inning: Chase, Anderson and Casey
singled in succession, Anderson and
Casey scoring on Ensling's fine double
to deep center. Fine pitching was
done by Cranka. Westerly was held
Scoreless for the rest of the game. In
the ninth with score tied Holland hit
the first ball pitched for fine single
over third base. was advanced to sec
ond on Standish's sacrifice and scored
Norwich bulletin., 1915-05-24

A very large crowd of local fans
journeyed to the Cranberry Sunday
afternoon to see the second game of
the Yantic-N Nationals series and they
received one of the rawest deals ever
pulled off in this city when, in the
third inning, five of the Yantic play
ers went on a strike and refused to
play any longer.
Gavitt who started for Yantic was
taken out of the box in the first in
ming after eight runs had been Scor-
ed. He was succeeded by Mara who
faired somewhat better, but it was
evident that the Nationals would get
to his delivery in a few innings, and
when they started hitting Mara, Man
ager Stritch benched him.
Immediately war started and Yam
tics baSemen quit. After a delay the
game was resumed after Stritch filled
the vacancies with men secured from
the crowd.
Manager Hughes of the Nationals,
had collected a crack-a-jack team
and was in 70 win, having some of the
best players in these parts.
1t is about time that the players,
managers and directors of ball clubs
got wise to the fact that games of
this nature are doing nothing but dis
gushing the fans. They seek their loyal
patronage and in due return it seems
perfectly evident that clubs should
have some consideration and cater to
them. 1t is the fans that support the
| team, it is they that chip into the hat
and they expect something in return.
The five players that quit Manager
| Stritch Sunday displayed poor sports
manship in the eyes of the fans and
have made a wound that will not
readily heal.
Owing to the nature of the game no
box score was kept after the first
| inning.
Manager Hughes announces that
after the completion of these series he
will quit baseball.

HARVARD VARSITY WINS
BY HALF A LENGTH,
Defeats Cornell for First Time on
Cayuga Lake.

Harvard won the varsity race from
Cornell Saturday at Ithaca, n. Y, for
the first time in the history of Cayuga
lake regattas, by a half length. Cor
nelPs fast freshman eight, which de-
feated Yale and Princeton last week,
won its race with the Crimson first
year crew.
In the big race Cornelrs varsity crew
demonstrated that it is not up to the
usual standard of Ithaca Fights Har-
ward caught the water first and main
tanned lead throughout the two mile
race. although Cornell struggled hard
to overcome the Crimson advantage
Both crews rowed a "a stroke for the
most part, but near the finish raised
to So. At no time during the race was
there open water between the boats.
Cornell tried continually to squirt, but
seemed to lack the driving power.
Courtney's freshmen won their event
by showing the power that the Red
and White varsity lacked. Harvard
led for more than a mile. Then the
Ithacans raised the stroke, overlook
the Crimson and won easily by 1 IL
lengths.
