In we'll played game Norway High
defeated Lisbon Falls High at the fair
grounds Saturday afternoon, winning by
scoring Eve runs in the third inning,
when the visiting pitcher developed .
wild streak and lost his own game. But

would have won out, for had they not
bad such big lead presented TO them
they would have worked hard to score .
few needed runs.
The work Of the Norway battery was
one OF the features OF Tue game. Bethel
pitched steadily and In only one inning
did the visitors succeed In making moro
than ono hit of his delivery. Behind
tho bat, Capt. Brooks caught q fine
game and did some splendid work on foul
flies. In ono inning. the seventh, he
practically retired the side By making
two nice catches and throwing ono man

nice play on . bard hit ground ball, hos
mer pulled ono high throw out OF t6st

damage bad II Cotton away from
him. While Evirs and Hartman each
contributed good catch IN the outfeld.
Evirs' cstch came when tho visitors bad
runners ON second and third and would
have scored two runs had Evirs not suc-
decided In making the catch. 9
The visitors made only ono error be-
hind their pitcher and turned In some
good plays. The pitcher was south

the ball, 20 much 90 that the Norway
bstters could do practically no hitting, /
