II to 6
ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
BY BOTH SIDES
Home Team Staged Some
Good Exhibitions at the
Bat and in the Field

Waterbury high school players in spite
Of their strong determination to beat
Spaulding in the first game between
them, were sent home with a defeat for
Saturdays game at the Lincoln campus
resulted in Spaulding's victory, II to 9.
With the Waterbury team came some
very enthusiastic fans, who apparently
had unlimited confidence in their home
team, roofing continually to rattle Cal
derara in his delivery, but this only
steadied him, and his goat" was down
on Blackwell street roaming among the
stone chips. Their efforts to that end
were in vain, confusing, if anyone, their
own pitcher, 0'Brien, who had started
out with fine style of delivery.
Moreover, Waterbury's cheering and
hilarious actions only tended to instill
in the other fans more enthusiasm, the
latter responding with school yells and
remarks of encouragement to their team.
1t was game interesting throughout,
sprinkled with numerous good plays and
for several innings an uncertainty as
to the winner prevailed, which only
makes the fans satisfied that they paid
% cents to see the game.
From the outstart pep and ginger were
in the actions of all the players. The
first two innings ended with neither side
having scored, but the third left the
home team with two to its credit. Clerici
in the next. scored ON Powers two bag
ger and Powers, on wild throw by
Brown. who endeavored to catch him off
the bag, also scored
The score again tied, increased the ex-
element that rose gradually until after
the fifth inning, when Spaulding cap
turedL tine victory with batting rally.
Up to this stage of the contest, 0'Brien
had kept the boys guessing while at bat,
but Brown the first to bat for Spauld-
ing in the fifth, started the ball rolling
for a two base hit Before that period
ended five hits had resulted for the red
and blue aggregation, and literally
speaking, the game was canned
1t was in the first part of the same
inning that a double play was made by
Calderara, Lille and Parks Lease sin
gled, Swasey singled and the next to bat
Barney, grounded TO Calderara, who
threw to third, catching Lease coming
TO third and Parks threw to Lille and
he back to Parks, who again caught
Swasey making for the third sack. An
other double play was made in the first
inning, but one of common occurrence;
Parks felded grounder to OBrien
threw to Sullivan at second, catching
Gilmore, and then to Lille, retiring tht
base runner.
Bob Taylor Spaulding's left fielder
probably won the game for his team
for every man in the sixth inning was
retired by his fielding and twice wher
he ran back or forward to catch the fly
the bases were filed. Parks in the
eighth gained three putouts to his cred
it.
After the sixth inning O'Brien covered
shortstop's territory, and Clerici endeav
ored to hold his opponents from further
scoring by going into the box.
Many hits for both teams gave thu
fielders all kinds of opportunities t.
show their ability and only once OF
twice were objectionable errors made
The score:
