SAILORS HAND GAME 10 ALL-N0RlNICH
Naval Reserves From State Pier at New London Throw Game Away In the Field In Spite of Superb Pitching by Johnston Seventeen Errors Chalked Up Against the Sailors In Eight Inning -Dingbats Defeat N F. A. by the Score of 10 to 8 In Interesting Game.

] Sunday afternoon at the Falls the All Norwich team was the recipient of a touching gift from the team rep resenting the State Pier in New Lon- don. The gift consisted of seven runs. The All-Norwich team was outplayed in every department of the game except fielding. Johnson of the Reserves pitched great ball and de- served to win but received support that would have been a disgrace to a first class grammar school team. The saild,s made IT errors behind their pitcher.
 Farrell pitched good ball but was not in the same class with Johnston. The sailors when they did hit met the ball on the nose and sent it travelling in the general direction of Bean Hill while the highest ambition of the local team seemed to be to drive the pill directly at one of the navy fielders, this being an almost certain way to get on.
 The sailors were easy outs in the first and while Leonard got as far as second he died trying to steal third. The Reserves opened the game in the second when they put run across as the result of consecutive doubles by Kliekner and Mcintyre. Norwich tied the score in their half W. Calkins walked and went to second when Meeker muffed Clabby's grounder, took third on an error by Elkins. and scored when Farrell hit to Klickner and Mcintyre muffed the throw to the plate.
 Norwich scored another run in the third. Leonard walked and scored on a double by w. Calkins. The fourth inning was blank although Klickner doubled only to be. nabbed at the plate. The sailors tallied again in the fifth. Baxendale walked and scored on a pretty doule by Meeker. Johnston singled to center but Meeker was call ed out for not touching third. Nor wich failed to score in her half.
 With the score two to two Norwich started her drive in the sixth. Me Burney who is a sort of amateur Ty Cobb singled and went to second on | Farrells sa1iice bunt. He scored on hit by Calkins. In the seventh Burns reached first on Klickner's er- TOT went to second on an error by l Meeker, stole third and was out al 1 home when Bush hit to Klic ner Callzins scored on McBurney's hit and then Bush tallied on Farrell's single Callahan and Burns scored in the eighth as the result of free passes Callahan being hit by the pitcher an6 Burns hugging the plate. They scored as the result of the usual errors by Kickner and Meeker.
 The umpire scored a run for tn; sailors in the eighth. Klickner famed and when the third strike went wide followed the advice of the crowd ant ran to first. Somebody yelled to hin to take second and he started for the keystone bag. When several yards from the bag the ball was thrown 1T and he was tagged long before touch, ing the base. This however did no suit the unpire's idea of fair play al he waved the man back to the bag aft
