inning with a tie score of 6-6, North
Troy forfeited the game to Barton
with a score of 90. In the discussion
tators and players left the ball field.
ORLEANS GAME
Mudgett pitched a good game but
had a poor support, Saturday. The
boys had played two hard games be-
fore that week and were pretty well
tired out for Saturday which was
really the hardest game.
In the first inning Orleans got a
lead of three scores. In the second
Wake brought in one for Barton; in
the third Orleans brought in another
to her credit; neither side scored in
the fourth; in the fifth an error by
Hanson resulted in another run for
Orleans. In the sixth Orleans gain
ed two more. From there on, both
sides were held down by the opposing
side thus ending with a score of 72
in favor of Orleans
