suit of poor outfielding.

Walker threw to catch Peckham OFF

Colby Wins First Game

Waterville, April 29.-The Colby
baseball team broke into the win coll
umn for the first time this season
this afternoon when they defeated the
strong Maine Central ball tossers.
Coach Parent sent Weymouth to the
mound, with good results. The Col
by hurler held the opposing batsmen
safely after the first inning until the
ninth, when he allowed a couple Of
walks which produced two runs.
The collegian lineup was changed
for today's battle. with Hunter going
to right field and Anderson taking up
his duties at shortstop after Niles
had made two bad errors in the initial
stages Of the game. This change in
the lineup was certainly effective, for
the new gardener made two hits and
cavorted in the field in big league
fashion. Anderson was in rare form
and held down the infield position in
a satisfactory manner.
The Maine Central aggregation
gave the collegians the strongest
kind of opposition. but lack Of practice
made ragged fielding the inevitable
result. Reed pitched clever ball for
six innings, but tired near the end OF
the contest and was touched up
rather freely toward the finish.
Landry. catching for the Centrals,
was inSmid- season form and nego-
tiated a couple of lofty fouls. which
were the feature performances OF the
exhibition.
