Grosvenordales Lose Hard Game 3-2.

Grosvenordales Lose Hard Game 3-2
 The Wauregan team put erimp in the locals record last Sunday by pull inc out a 3 to victory. The game was close and hard fought Both Salisbury and Swanson pitched fine bell. each allowing five hits. X wild throw by Tanaeeie with two on bases, letting two men score, lost the game for the Grosvenordales Salisbury went along like Walter Johnson for the first innings. At the close he was hit rather hard and only two brilliant catches by Maynard and one by Schrooch saved him from defeat Swanson did not go in for strike outs like Salisbury, but if he had Sails bury's support at critical moments, Salisbury would have been defeated
 C. Fountaine's hitting featured the game. He batted in both of the Gros- venordale's scores, getting two hits, and was robbed of a two bagger into the French river by Schrooch's one hand catch.
 Goven opened the fourth with a single and took third on Desserts double to the New Haven tracks. Plankey hit a liner too hot for Swan
 
 an easy chance to get Goven at the plate, heaved the ball to the players bench, Goven and Dessert scoring and Plankey taking second. Plankey stole third and scored on a wild pitch This ended Wauregan's scoring. In Gros- venordale's fourth Duffy Fountaine was out third to first. Ravenelle was out on fly to Plankey, making 1t two down. Berthiaume was hit by one of Salisbury's wild shoots and took first Berthiaume stole second and easily scored when C. Fountaine rapped double to center In the sixth Des- sert fumbled D. Fountaine's roller and then threw wildly to first, Duffy taking second. Ravenele sacrificed him to third Berthiaume famed. Again C. Fountaine came to the res cue. Salisbury tried to give him a base on balls, but Charlie stepped out and slammed neat single to right, bringing Duffy. Fountaine over the pan. This ended the scoring for the day
