 Stafford's only extra inning game this season was played Saturday af- ternoon in Hyde Park. It took eleven innings of playing for the locals to triumph over the Moore Drop Forge nine of Springfield. At the end of the sixth inning it looked as though Stafford was in for another defeat. So bad did it look that some of the more sensitive fans started homeward. But later they had reason to fume over this mistake for they missed one Of the best games of the summer In the eighth inning Stafford made three runs. Tonoly had a big part in this. With two on the sacks he lined one out to the right fielder who permitted the ball to run through his legs. Af- ter Tonoly had made the rounds of the bases a protest was raised by the right fielder who claimed that the ball had rolled into the river without having touched his glove. Several spectators declared that the fielder had deliberately kicked the ball into the stream, hoping to confine Tonoly to two base hit. This was not proved but it was decided that the ball had touched the fielders glove before rolling into the river, so To- noly was entitled to all the bases he | could make. Stafford had made one in the first, two in the fifth and one 1 in the seventh. The score was four tC four and it remained this way till the last of the eleventh. Tonoly and Bo- lieau both hit safely and Daigle came | to bat. He had not made a single hit I in four times at bat and now one was | needed badly. Great was the sur. ] prise when he came through with . | wallop that sent the ball to deep Jeff for a two base hit which enabled Bo. lieau to come in with the winning tally. Daigle pitched and showed good form, flaming five and walking only one. Dickey, Madsen and Gil man were not in this game. Their places were respectively filled by Con.
