took second on a wild pitch and scored
when Harding ret Cusick's hit get
away from him after Dion had famed.
Brisk hit safely and Cusick took third.
Brisk stole and both scored on Cor
tons out.
In the fourth the locals scored their
final run when Brisk laced a beauty to
center which was good for two sacks.
He stole third and scored when Car
ter let Gorton's hit get away from him.
Waterville also scored in this inning.
Frost singled after Carter had flied to
Canter, stole second and scored on a
wild pitch.
In the eighth Waterville made an
alarming bid for the game. Carter was
safe on Hickey's error, took second
when Gorton muffed Frost's fly and
scored when Littlefield let Cratty's hit
get away from him, Frost taking third.
The latter was thrown out at the plate
on O'Brien's hit to Littlefield, Crafty
taking third and O'Brien second on the
play. Both scored on Joseph's hit to
left which Gorton fumbled. Joseph was
on third when the ball came back to
the diamond. Harding followed with
what seemed to be a sure hit but Can
ter made pretty catch and then peg
ged beautifully to home to nail Joseph
and end the rally.

Formula for Whitewash.

The following formula of white
wash containing lime, skim milk
and salt is recommended: Stake one
bushel of good quieklime with not
more than u gallons of water. Stake
the lime and keep the vessel covered
until steam ceases to rise, stirring &C.
casionally TO prevent scorching. Pre-
pare second mixture containing two
pounds of common salt and one pound
of zinc sulphate in two gallons of boil
ing water. Pour this into the slaked
lime and stir in two gallons of skim
milk. Stir vigorously. This makes
an excellent waterproof whitewash
suitable for walls and fences.
