TEAM LOSES
TO BERLIN
8 to 4 Victory for Granite
State Outft-L0cal Team
Shows Improvement

Tic Fairbanks A. a. baseball team
sueffred its first defeat Saturday
when the fast Berlin team put the
Indian sign on them to the score of
9 t. 5.
The game was much more interest
ing than the score would indicate,
and although the locals were on the
short end, they shaped up much bet
te@ than their first game. st. Johns
bury will yet see g good brand of
baseball, as soon as Hoernle can get
here to practice with the team reg
ularly, and get a line on his team,
and with the help of the management
weed out the team and turn out the
klnd pf ball that st. Johnsbury
wantA :
The game was full of good hitting,
good and poor fielding, bonehead
playing and good baseball so that the
fans there, although small in number,
were able to get pretty good line
on the team.
The game was late in starting, this
beng caused by the failure of
Hocrnlc and Mahan in arriving, they
coming by auto.
Berlin scored two runs in the first
inning, when LaRoche, their first
man up hit one on the ground
through Lynch at second. Jacobs
advanced him to second with
bunt, he being thrown out at first by
Mahan Morris and Powers both
sacrificed, the latter getting on, and
with the help of wild pitch and a
n uffed throw by Gray at third, the
visitors succeeded in getting two men
over the rubber before Mahan retir-
cd the next man on strikes.
Conner started St. Johnsbury right
when he hit the first ball pitched for
a clean single, but he was doubled up
a first when Lynch, on his attempted
bunt flied out to the pitcher who
doubled Conner. Rogers the next
MAI up struck out
St. JOhnsbury got their first run
after two men had been retired Con-
nor got his second hit, stole second,
and scored when Lynch got hit. The
side was retired on the next pitched
ball when the visitors catcher threw
out Lynch on his attempted steal of
second.
In the sixth the locals got another
when Rogers started the trouble by
hitting a clean single over second
base, and Wilds let it get away from
him, allowing the local man to ad-
val ce to second. He moved to third
on Hoernle's hit. Gray, the next man
uD got free ticket to first, forcing
Hoernle to second, and filling the
bases. Fisk, the next man up hit to
the pitchers box, and Veazie got
Rogers at the plate on the force out,
and Preo hurried the ball to first for
double, getting Fisk. Legendre
tier got hit that scored Hoernle
who had advanced to third on the
double. The side was retired when
Gallagher popped to the pitcher.
Up to this inning Mahan had been
pitching good ball, but he began to
wet ken at this stage, and Preo got
hit to- start off the inning. Vcazie
hit a fast one between the box and
short, that Conner fumbled, allowing
both men to get on, Proc on second
and eVazie on first. Then both men
advanced one base on a wild pitch,
and scored when LaRoche hit one for
two bases to deep center. Jacobs the
next man UP hit to short, and La
Roche in attempting to go to third
on the play was run down between
the bases, Conner, Gray and Lynch
luI ning'him down. Lynch threw out
the next man at first, and Mahan re-
tired the side by striking out Wilds.
Berlin got five big runs in the
eighth inning on combination of
base on ball, two singles, a double,
a stolen base, bone head play, a
close decision mt the plate that the
jumps gave to the visitors and an err
ror. The balloon blew up for fair,
and Mahan was taken out in this inn
inc and replaced by Witty who finish
ed the game for the locals in a man 1
ncl that pleased the fans. |'; = - :. :. 4 4
