waterville, June 26-No better
game Of baseball has been seen IN
these parts than the game of today
on Seaverns Field. when "Bagsy"
Aliens charges used the whitewash
brush on the Worumbos of Lisbon
Falls, led by Harry Lord. Over
thousand fans gathered to see the
tilt and all went home to late sup
per happy because of the win, by
four runs.
The afternoons fun started at $50
sharp with the parade of Drew's
band in a Mack truck that was
daintily decorated, followed by autos
bearing Mayor Tebbetts. Robert
Nivison and other officials of the
teams, and the players, together with
many fan-tilled vehicles started from
Main street on a tour of Watervllle,
Winslow and Fairfield. Short stops
were made in Winslow and Fairfield
while the band dispensed music, but
owing to the congested condition of
Waterville streets due to Dollar Day
crowds, no stop was made in this
city.
At precisely AIS the band began
to play a march and the players of
both teams marched to the flag pole,
where mid the strains of The Star
Spangled Banner, Manager Allen
hoisted Old Glory to the masthead,
and the game was called. Mayor
Tebbetts was the first pitcher to face
McQuillan, lead-off man for the
Worumbos, and scored hit with his
perfect strike. Finding that his arm
was sore, he gave way to Arnol
Bragg, the pride of Fairfield, and let
us say right here that the citizens of
our neighboring town may we'll feel
pride in the youthful finger. for not
only did he pull himself and his
teammates out of some tight holes
but came through with the hit that
broke up the game.
McQuillan started off finely with
hit and was sacrificed to second by
O'Brien. Bragg to Daniels. Bragg
also threw out MCGOWAN and after
hitting Wilson, struck out keville.
During the first three innings two
passes. three hits and hit batsman
were of no avail to Harrys boys, for
Bragg frightened and with superb
support from his mates shut out the
Falls lads. In the seventh a base on
balls coupled with an unfortunate
error by Wood, who otherwise played
a gilt edged game, put Arnol in the
nuns, puI OllSS IllOIS ne was SQudl W
the situation and cut off Shanahan
by a heady piece of work on Nc
OUTLAWS tap to the pitcher. and
struck out O'Brien, while MCGOWAN
fouled out to Johnny Lanpher in a
dazzling play well back of the plate.
During this time, Stephenson, the
big boy from Westbrook seminary,
was rambling along in fine shape I'M
til the fifth when Wood started trou-
BILE by bunting to the box. Stephen
SOM messed the play and followed it
Win a high throw to first of DAN
iels' sacrifice bunt. Having lost two
of these slow rollers he evidently in
tended to let someone else handle the
next one, which went down the third
base line for q hit as keville was COW
ering third on the play, filling the
bases. Doyle followed with a sacri-
fee fly to left on which Daniels
scored, and Bragg broke up the game
with scorching single that brought
in two runs and the game. He was
left on third, where he landed on
the throw-in by some fast work,
when Potter flied out to right.
The fourth and last run Of the
game came in the eighth. After
Potter had. fouled out to Shanny,
Lanpher poled a hard one at Wilson
in right that got away from him and
Wood came to time with singles that
placed Cut in position to score on
kevlle's wild peg to first after Lam
pher ha dbeen nailed at third.
