MARRIAGE ROOT|NG
FAILED TO WIN

beat Phoebe. ls to 9. on the local sass- |
ball diamond last Sunday. and Just to |
make matters worse Enterprise beat |
Ptoche. to :. the next day while |
sweet sobs of sorrow uprooted the |
rooters. Oh. where are our wandering
boys tonighty where's that Jess Frsu-
denthal and little Edr Tell them that
their little brothers in baseball are
er~srg for them and that they need
them fierce. II it's before payday
you'll find them In their room. eut II
it's after payday. goodness knows
where the boys can be found Try the
beaches.
Sixteen to six! Amt that awful.
And Dolan pitched ut that. OF course
the, Milford team is q mighty nns
bunch of boys. and Of course there II
no harm In being beaten by such
splendid team-and this goes double
for Enterprise. because that must be
some town to have such n clean repre-
sentation Of husky athletes-but just
the same II stings to have to sit down
and do SO much explaining inning by
inning-and a sixteen to six score
takes lots of explaining. -Four to
three ID better. No need to explain:
because the breaks In baseball account
for that easily.
In the Milford game the first inning
was pure baseball. with the score moth
ing to nothing. The second inning
was simply . riot of runs for Milford.
resulting In the score Of six to moth
ing. Third inning Milford added three,
while Phoebe started bawling for Jess
Fourth inning Milford added two.
Fifth inning stopped this nonsense
but the score was eleven to nothing.
sixth inning Milford earned one and
Phoebe got two amid delicious noises
Seventh inning Pioche got four. amid
Joyous boots and put Milford away In
lone-two-three style. but they could not
stand prosperity and were held at six
during the next two innings, during
which Milford waived their turn 1T the
bat. That was the most unkindsst cut
Of all Gas Shakespeare said--and got
away With iD; the very most unkind-
est cut of ALL
OF the Milford game the least said
the soonest mended. To point out the
rotten plays would only result in get
ting the whole nine down ON one. II
1t were possible some plays were worse
than others. One thing was distinctly
to be noticed. and that was the fact
that the boys who practiced most also
t did the best playing. Witness thai
, wonderful catch by Dan Franks
The Enterprise game was wortl
while from every standpoint. Neither
side scored for Ave hard fought inn
tngs. during which 1t seemed that IL {
man got on bases 1t was only to affort
double play. In the sixth inning En-
terprise squeezed In one run. which
lthQv Uh har
8 sacrificed around the bases before tn
h following three men were put out II
r the terrible seventh inning Enterpris
got three more runs through error
on Charles Ronnow. Dan Franks an
! Frank Dolan. In the eighth nothin,
on either side. In the ninth Pioch
. lplayed the game. Franks walked be
cause of his good eyes and Judgment
after which he stole second and cam
: home when Ronnow hit for two base
n tiames got good ohit and stole sec
r ond. Dolan and Orr went out Chris
e tian came to bat amid calls for pine
hitter and pinch-hitted himself fc
two bases, which brought Hames hom
J. Rutherford tried hard but few out
second. Some game. some game.
q Charles Marriage. who returned fro1
England with two quarts Of baggag
Encouraged the team with promise
: but. alas, he found the baggage hs
n evaporated, or leaked. or something
