 A six to two defeat was the resul of the game played in Keefe's Plains Sunday afternoon when the local team opposed the Annex nine of New l,ri
 tian. But it was not because tn, team that this was the result. They
 were snappy, tis true, but it is cer tain the story would have been differ ent had not the jinx, hard luck per
 sonified, imposed himself upon tn locals. He chose the section of thu baseline from first almost to third a: his territory. Any ball that rolled
 within this section was bound to b.
 muffed or fumbled if he could get hand into the play. And so it turned out. Monahan, at short, fumbled twt
 and heaved couple more wild. Wise
 who played second, and Dupre, ol
 first, both erred twice. The local
 were able to hit fairly well in thi game, they gathered six in all, on
 of them a three base wallop. Tn
 two runs came in the third when tn
 three tagger was sent out. The wis
 itors made four tallies in the first in
 ming and two in the fourth, mostl
 through errors and wild throws. A
 was the case in Stafford's two pre-
 vious defeats the visitors made run
 in the first inning. Somehow or othe
 the players do not seem to reallz that in the first inning, while the al
 tery is sizing up the opponents, the
 should be on their toes even more g.
 than in any other part of the game
 AS a rule the best hitters and some
 times the best runners are put up i
 that inning and once man gets O.
 tase a run or two will come unles
 they play especially hard. If the tear
 gets on to this in the future and con tinue to improve their hitting the re
 suits of games should read different
