ASHLAND DRAWS FIRST BLOOD

The Kaeevs were plainly outclassed Sunday afternoon at Ashland park, Jew ett City. and lost to Ashland by the score of to l. It was an off day for the Norwich lads. Their fielding was ragged and they couldn't to any degree fathom the offerings of Taylor.
 Ashland's southpaw finger was in me form. holding Norwich to six hits ana flaming five. Ashland nicked Rube Pol lard for eight safeties and used the hits to good advantage.
 For seven innings Taylor had the ka- ,eys in a pretty helpless state, partly by his effective hurting and partly by the strong support of his teammates In the eighth frame the Norwich boys broke into the game scoring one run on three successive singles by Mckay, Hanlin and Gaudette With two men on the bags and no one down they fell fiat and the next three batters died dsmally.
 Foley. Ashland center fielder. played well both in the field and at bat He is credited with three hits one a triple, the only extra base hit of the afternoon, and accepting seven chances. McBeth at sec ond also pulled off some fine stops at critical times.
 Ieclaire made two sensational catches of what looked to be safe hits and a pe- -uliar record was set by this player inas- much as not a ground ball was hit to him in the game
 The first score came in the third in- ming after two men were out. McBeth singled and took second when Pollard threw one away. Chase walked. Com met drove grasser to short which seep- ed through Gallagher and McBeth scored Tn the fourth they crossed again on two singles and an error. The fifth produced two more on an error and two singles Their fifth and last counter came in the seventh on a single by Chase and Foley's pretty triple
 The Kacey management was little disappointed at the showing of the team and next Sunday may see change tr the lineup. Mcdonald, a Colchester lad was given a tryout in left field Sunday but failed to show much stuff
 The two teams are booked to play 1T Norwich next Sunday. July 24th. and with the strengthening of the Kacey line up the fans may expect close and ex citing game.
