As was expected. Norway High badly
outclsssed Gould Academy 10 the game
played at Bethel Saturday afternoon and

SOUTH PARIS GRAMMAR 8, NORWAY g. 1.
South Paris Grammar defeated Nor
way at the fair grounds Saturday fore
noon, playing good ball and holding
their opponents safe all the way.
What promises to be the best game
played here this season will take place
at the high school grounds next Satur-
day afternoon when Paris High meets
Edward Little High Of Auburn. The
teams are we'll matched and Paris will
make every effort to win this game. In
view Of the improvement they have
made, It would seem as If their chances
of victory are good.
LEAvIrT INSTITUTE 8; PARIS h. 8. 2.
Although defeated Paris High had no
reason to be ashamed Of the game they
played ut Turner Center Saturday after
noon against Leavitt Institute. It 10
to be regretted that four of Leavitt's
Eve runs were directly due to errors Of
the Paris boys, but some Of these errors
were - excusablo a. errors ever are.
Twice Paris players slipped and fell
whom they had q chance for IN easy out
before them, and the men that reached
frat on these errors both scored. Paris
has praoticed and played nearly al its
games on gravel diamond, and the
grass diamond ut Turner made It hard
for them to keep their feet.
In spite of the fact that errors figured
90 much In the homo teams scores, 1t
can not be said that Paris played loose
fielding game. Their work on the whole
was excellent and the one thing that
hurt Paris chances the most Was the
failure Of Campbell to prevent stolen
bases. Leavitt stole almost at WILL, and
a. soon - one Of their runners reached
frat, he made for second, and conse-
quently Merrill was almost always In q
position where Q bit meant . score
against him. Campbell caught well and
did bis best, but II . man can't whip Z
ball down to second fast and on q line,
his opponents soon flnd Il out.
Merrill pitched the best game he has
worked In this year and showed that he
10 improving steadily. Lsavitt has Z
hard hitting team OF loft hand batters,
but the best they conld do Was 10 gel
six scattered hits. He did not issue {
pass and was % steady o. 3 veteran ID
the plnches. In only ono inning, The
fourth, did the visitors get moro thar
ONE bit OF his delivery. Il certainly wai
not his fault that the Paris team did mol
come homo with victory.
Edwards and Wight were the only
Paris men who could hit Benson's speed
Edwards made two hits and scored boil
Of Paris' runs while Wight was credited
with three hits, HE hits enabling I'd
wards to GROSS the plAts In both casss
The other Paris bettsrs might = vel
have thrown their bats away. Benson
hit two men, walked two and struck oui

received good support.
| The game was quickly and Cleanl,
played, the work Of the umpire Was YER,
satisfactoTy and both teams paid strio'
attention to their ball playing. There 4
