CLEARINGHOUSE PLAY THINNING GAME Locals Take the Small End of 6 to 5
 Score

Canaan lost to Norfolk in the tenth inning of a loosely played game at Norfolk on Saturday after noon. With two gone in the tenth, Kenney doubled and Uhrig scored him with long single to right, the score being 6-5. Tn spite of the nineteen errors committed by both sides, fourteen by Norfolk and five by the locals, the game was very exciting and kept the fans on edge every minute. Canaan had three men on bases with one out in the ninth inning but was unable to score more than one run, both Sher- pinski and Meade being called out on strikes. Canaan outbatted Nor folk, making ten hits to their nine, but failed to hit in the pinches. Speed" Finn, the scrappy veteran, covered the hot corner for Canaan and connected safely three times. Wells, slugging outfielder from Mil lerton, made but one safe hit, but Sawins respect for his hitting powers was clearly shown in the eighth inn ing when he was purposely passed with man on second and but one run needed to tie the score. So much for Wells. Uhrig was CanARn's Nemesis, Jinx, etc, making four safe bingles out of five times at bat. His last hit drove a winning one. Hubby starred at the initial sack, accepting eleven out of twelve chances successfully and also smash | gr1o fxryn YNu Axxyx Eme and scoring two runs. Fenn Min acci dashed hither and thither around the keystone sack, ralcing in elusive bounders with apparent ease. He accepted eight chances without an error. He also made the hit that drove in the tieing run in the ninth. "Rod" Fraleigh made two catches in left, one being a spectacular backward running catch of a long smash from McMann's bat Meade, as usual; got. in his good work on de fense, corraling a brace of pretty ones. Case made a beautiful peg from right field in the seventh, cut ting down McMahon at the plate,
