High school nine tumbled the Wat
erville balltossers here this after
noon by the score of 10 to in a
very ne-sided and poorly played
game of baseball. Cony scored five
runs in the fifth and five in the ninth
innings.
The Waterville stands went wild
in the first frame when the locals
managed to put across the first run
of the game after the Cony men had
failed to score in tn ,ir part of the
initial inning. Both teams played
good ball in the second inning and
neither scored counter. Cony came
back strong in the third and put
across three runs. taking the lead,
which they held throughout the con-
test
The fifth inning saw the downfall
of the Purple as the Cony team Sc
cured hit after hit, one of them be-
ing a circuit clout by Bush, the pill
margin. The Reds did not retire
Watervlle put two runs across in
their half of the frame but could not
secure enough to overtake the Au-
gusta lads big lead.
The LOCAL lads squeezed one more
run across in the sixth. this ending
their scoring. Cony took two runs
in the seventh and wound up the
game in The ninth with bang, put
ting five men across after q success
sion of safe hits off Saucier.
The game was slow and married by
many errors on the part of the play
ers of both teams. The Cony dele
cation show" up superior to the
locals in every department of the
game, but were very poor in base
running, twice losing possible scores
b. sticking close to the sack. The
game was filled with heavy hits.
