Company { Loses
lO-lnning Contest

The Dorchester All-Stars defeated
the Company c baseball team yester-
day by a score of one to nothing. The
game was pitchers battle for ten
innings. "Reddy" Matthews staged
comeback and used all his oldtime
stuff in shutting out the soldier boys.
He beSted Trippe in one of the pref
test games ever seen here. At all
times was he master of the contest
In the tenth, however, he seemed to
be weakening, when the first two bat
ters to face him singled, but he
pulled himself together and struck
out the next three men. In the Dor
chester half of the tenth Spedden
walked stole second, and continued
to third when Prices peg went to
center field. He scored a few min
utes later when Dean muffed Wallis
long fly to right
These two last mentioned players
pulled some fancy stunts in the out
field, which helped put the snap
into the game. In the seventh inn
ing Spedden hit long liner to right,
which seemed to be good for three
bases at least, but Dean made Won
derful One-hand catch OF the hit, re-
firing the side. In the third inning
H. Smith hit one between left and
center fields, which Wall went over
and caught by marvellous side dive.
This catch also retired the side. Will
Iiams and Spedden, of the Dorches
ter team, tielded very nicely, each
cutting down several soldier rallies.
Henry also fielded well. Bateman,
Bradley and G. Smith tileded we'll for
Company c. The game was witness
ed by a fairly large crowd, while the
gate receipts went to the Dorchester
team for winning. Another game may
be played between these two teams,
and a large crowd is expected out to

good one. The score:
