Second Game.

Everybody was set for a real contest
in the second game and for a brief half
inning Company l looked to be on the
road to another win. With two out
Manning singled over second. StOwell
slammed one to right field that Staples
playing the bound, let get away from
him and Manning scored. Stowell tried
to make third on the throw to the plate
but was thrown out, Moquin to Plumb.
This one run looked good for only a short
time, as MOquin with one, down lined
one just inside third that Wells nabbed,
but throwing from outside the diamond is
a long way over and the extra steam
that he put on the ball carried il over
first and MOuUin pulled up at second.
Thomas uncOrked a wild pitch. putting
the runner on third. and a cheap run
was scored when Winchester worked in n
passed ball. Plumb famed for a second
out and then things broke up. Adams
hit one to Thomas, who with plenty Of
time to throw out the runner. made a
bad peg, Adams reaching second. Fisher
drove one to left field that Codding,
standing fast and waiting for, dropped.
scoring Adams. Fisher stole second and
third. Staples singled, scoring Fisher,
and stole second, but was left on as In
gram grounded to Manning, but the lead
that the TOymakerS were presented with
was more than the Soldiers could col
lect throughout the engagement. as
Moore allowed them only four hits after
the opening inning and was given gilt
edged support.
The Company I lineup was changed to
start the second inning. Winchester
split a finger and Clune of the Lasters
went in behind the bat. Winchester going
in at third, Wells to left field and Cod
ding going out of the game.
This combination worked along in
fairly good shape until the Hateful sixth.
when Thomas, who up to that time had
allowed only three hits. weakened and.
, according to all reports, threw ont his
arm. At any rate, whatever happened
to him the TOymakers took advantage of
it and proceeded to knock out the hits
and pile up the runs. Adams and Fisher
singled. and with an easy triple play in
sight things worked out in a mighty
queer way. Staples hit a line drive to
Thomas, who got it square in his hands
and dropped it. Staples planned this as
an infeld hit and thought he was out
when he was not. Neither baSe-runner
had n chance to advance and for some
unknown reason Thomas. instead of
playing the ball to third. which in turn
| should have been PLAYED to second and
| first for a triple killing, threw to first

off third threw to get him. In the scuf-

wild pitch that scored Adams, Fisher

go with another wild heave. Thomas
was pulled out, Lynch going in to pitch,

hit to Connors.
