tional ninth inning rally. the Hol-
lingsworth & Whitney team made
three runs, tying the score with the
Steam Rollers Of Providence in a fast
game on Seaverns Field this after
noon. The game was called at the
| end of the ninth on account of dark
| ness. All through the game the Wis
itors seemed to have the edge on the
! local boys and all the breaks went
| against the H. & VS.. The Rollers
annexed their first tally in the fourth
and another in the fifth and then
| ninth. The score stood three to moth
! ing and the crowd was beginning to
| thin.
LYNNE Shanahan, Coburn star and
| first sacker on the field yesterday for
| the locals cracked the apple for a
slow grounder that he beat out to
| first amid some argument. Bolduc
| flied out to deep short; then Rip Nc
Phee came up and banged out a sin
! gle. Meanwhile Baird had reached
third on McLaughlin's error and Nc
Pieces bingle let him across the
plate. The crowd was beginning to
get excited now and when Thibodeau
| came up he received plenty of verbal
support. Thibodeau stepped up to
the plate and picked out a good one,
laying it into deep center far enough
from the diamond to give him three
sacks while McPhee romped across
the plate for a second tally. Garlic
ton was the next man to the plate
and he connected for another sweet
bingle just outside of the diamond.

run. Finnegan went out on slow
, grounder and Shanahan famed, end
ing the inning and the game.

The Rollers played steady and
fast game of ball. They started
scoring in the fourth when Kirby
singled to center stole second. went
third on McLaughlin's single to right
field and came home on long fly by
crease. Boucher was the next man
to cross the plate. He got life
when Finnegan juggled the ball,

other error by the second sacker. A
single by Mclaughlin to right put
his across the plate. Gilman's hom-
err in the ninth caused hardly. a stir.
The hit was the longest of the game
and the ball disappeared over the
left field fence by Shannon Obser-
yatory with Carleton trying vainly to
reach it. There was considerable ar
gument in the stands about making
it a homer on account of the ground
rule observed in the case of Shana-
hans hit that landed just inside OF
the fence at the same point.
The pitching of McPhee and Rey-
nolds was good all the way through,

time and each famed five men. Rey-
nolds passed the first man up and
another one, while McPhee gave one
man a base on balls.
Boucher was hit over the heart by
a pitched ball in the fourth and Pot

ninth and caught fly over his Shout

!! catch when he ran back in the sixth
on a fly off Potter's bat.
