"ALL STARS" LOSE THEIR luSTRE
IN FAST D0UbLE-hEADER With
BEN H0USER'S Sk0WHECAN nine
ON COLBY FIELD AT WATERv|LLE

waterville, Me-, Sept. 6.-(Special).
Taking both games in the double
header from the All-Stars. a team
chosen from the Trolley League. the
Skowhegan team, under the leadership
Of Ben Houser, gave the fans Of this
vicinity some Of the fastest baseball
in years Wednesday afternoon. The
score Of the first contest was to 0,
and the second, 4 to 1, the latter con-
test going but seven innings.
Baseball conditions were anything
but perfect, the afternoon being dark
and cold, and, although It rained hard
through two innings Of the first game,
the players stuck to it to entertain
the large number present. The young
sters from Somerset county were a
little too fast for the veterans who
have been playing in the Trolley
League this year, although there were
several brilliant flashes sprinkled
through both contests. 1t was good
enough baseball and everybody went
home satisfied, feeling that they had
had their moneys worth Tor one af-
ternoon.
The first contest started at 2 o'clock
with Skowhegan taking the field, Hen
ly starting on the firing line for the
up-river team. He pitched fine game
and the only thing that prevented him
from scoring a no-run, no-hit game
was a little roller hit by Wilson in the
second inning which Saunders was un-
able to field before tie runner reached
first.
Lindstrom, the Hallowell pitcher,
was in the box for the All-Stars and
had rather a wild afternoon. allowing
seven free passes to first base. The
slippery condition Of the ball made
this excusable. The heavy hitting
Skowhegan outfit only secured three
hits, one being a double by Saunders.
Skowhegan scored three runs in the
third inning. Three passes, an error
by Monahan and Saunders single to
left were responsible.
The All-Stars showed life in the
fourth. Merrill was passed and Luy-
ster was hit on the head by pitched
ball, leaving the game in favor Of Tai
bot. Barrows was passed, filling the
bases. Wilson hit to Henry, forcing
Merrill at the plate With the bases
filled Conley and O'Mara struck out.
Skowhegan scored one run in the
seventh when free pass to first, a
sacrifice and Henley's double to center
field were responsible The All Stars
were not dangerous again after the
fourth inning.
Features of the contest were a
double play, Fishburn to Lee, in the
third, the infield work ofsFfshburn and
Saunders for Skowhegan, and the
fielding Of the entire All-Star team.
the old-timers bringing many rounds
of applause by some of the plays they
cut off.
