With both teams playing remarkably
good baseball considering the terrible
condition of the grounds. Skowhegan
High won over Cony High to on the
Driving Park diamond yesterday after
noon in a seven-canto affair.
After old Sol had played hide and
seek with Jupe Pluvius the greater part
of the day, there came a lengthening
period of sunshine which induced the
high school rivals to play the sched-
uled game despite the wetneSs manifest
on all sides.
The playing field was dotted with
miniature lakes and the base lines
were a sea of mud. The crowd was
all set for wierd fracas but was
pleasantly disappointed in the brand
of ball served up in a muddy setting.
Af'total of four mscues We're regis
tered and three of these certainly were
eXcusable.
The Cony boys. who, due to bad
weather, have had. little chance to
practice, played one of the best games
turned in this spring. With the excep-
ton of Reid, who had an off day in the
short garden, the Red and White lads
played. errorless ball. In the matter
of batting they certainly hit in hard
luck. Blow after blow with plenty of
pep behind them went straight at the
opposing fielders.
The visitors also displayed some
classy wares, handling the hard blows
of the Cony contingent for killings
that meant mischief if they got by.
The work of the outteld was especially
noteworthy, the right and center guard
ians coping five nice ones.
After being BANKED in the opener,
the Somerset lads grabbed tally in
the second frame when Macklin got a
life on Reds wild reave. suicide act

Held scoreless in the third, the visitors
registered another in the fourth. by
sart roasted on first when his grounder
got away from Reid. moment later
he was advanced to second when Laney
laid down pretty one, and scurried
for home when Reid again staged r
bobble on Bess' blow. In the fifth the
feet-footed Dionne led off with a safe
crack to center. He took second and
third on pair of passed balls and
flashed home when Goulette went out
at first. In the final frame with one
down Dionne was given a pass and

promptly pilfered second and third,
trotting home on Cowette's rap to CEN
ter.
Cony drew blank in the first but
made the count $3.50 in the second
on some nice hitting and daring base
running. With two out, Gregoire
laced a. healthy one to right and clev-
erly stole second. Clement was sent
up5with instructions to dump the pill
and certainly did good job, as he NOT
only beat it out but Gregoire, who had
taken good lead off second, raced all
the way, home.
Held scoreless in the next two boxes,
the Cony lads again made it a new
game when they pushed over brace Of
TALES in the fifth. Spar" Reid led off
with a two-pillow crash to Iels ter
and after w. Hayden lotted to Dionne
the Cony short gardener dashed home
en- r. HaEden's long single TO the same
territory. A moment later Hayden also
crossed the pan when Webb screached
a double to right center. This ended
'ony's scoring, although strong bid
was made TO tie it up again in the
seventh. With one down, r. Hayden
singled and stole second. Webb went
out at first, Hayden going over to
third. Bradstreet fouled some long
ones to the swamp and here occurred
the only unpleasant incident of the
game. Both teams realizing the ad-
verse conditions had up to this point
refralned from kicking about the
heavy wet ball, but with a man on
thlrd and a dangerous hitter up, the
uprlVer hurler, backed by his coach,
insisted that new or dry balls be put
into the game. They were well within
their rights in this demand, but coming
at the time it did it savored strongly
OF poor craftsmanship. Skowhegan
won fairly and probably would had
there been no dry balls, but the action
is to be deplored. The score;
