Danbury Wins in Fourth
AFTER both teams had been held
scoreless for three innings, the Dan
pury nine came to bat to start the
fourth session, and the first two men
got on the paths due to infield err
rors, the third beat out a hit filling
the bases. The fourth batter singled
to center, the ball going through
Romer, and all four men scored.
This rally practically sewed up the
eleven hits, but kept them we'll
scattered and should have annexed
another victory. He struck out eight
men and walked nary a one.
On the other hand, the Amboy
batters collected thirteen hits off
Lucke and Shields. but in several in
nfngs the winning punch was miss
Ing. Lucke allowed twelve hits in
seven and third innings and walked
n man during his stay on the
mound. Shields allowed one hit and
walked two batters in one and two
third innings. p
After scoring four runs in the
fourth, the visitors sent another
runner across in the fifth on a hit,
sacrifice and another bingle, and
their final counter, was the result
of a hit, infeld error and a one base
blow. Amboy's first run was scored
IN the nth as a result of a poor
throw to first by Lucke, a stolen
base and two successive hits, one a
bouble, the latter two men being left
on the bases. In the sixth inning
the home players sent another run
ner across on two hits and an err
ror, and in the eighth inning the
home boys came within one run Of
tieing the count, three hits, two
walks and a sacrifice fly being re-
sponsible for three counters. Am
