Maine SCORES IN Thirteenth
INNING ON MIS- CUE. BREAKING
TIE, WINNING FROM COLBY SIS
Especial to the Kennebec Journal)

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
3 Waterville. May 21.-Colby and
the University of Maine battled for
Is long innings this afternoon be-
fore the Maine aggregation were
able to down the Blue and Gray
crew to the tune of So. Maine won
the game in the thirteenth frame
when Carson let a roller pass
through his legs in deep right field,
two Light Blue men scoring on this
miscue. The defeat this afternoon
puts Colby out of the state college
pennant race for good.
Maine scored in the first twice.
King secured single and Burke laid
down a neat sacrifice bunt which
advanced King to second. Pierce
singled and advanced King to third
and then Lunge's three-base hit
cleaned the two runners. Stearns
singled but. Lunge could not come
in. Durham walked and with three
on, Driscoll grounded out. Howard
to MCGOWAN. Colby put across one
lone tally in the inning. Cutler
raped the first pitched ball for two
bases, it would have gone for a
homer had it not rolled down into
the hole in left field and the ground
rules allowed the batter but two
bases. MCGOWAN singled and Cut
Ter came in on the rap. but McGowan
was thrown~out, Perry to Burke,
when he tried to make second. Rob-
ert Fransen reached first on field
er's choice and Everett Fransen ad-
L.
The two brothers pulled off a pretty
double steal and caught Gruhn nap
ping on the job. Howard ended the
frame by tanning. Colby scored
again in the sixth when Shanahan
got life at the initial sack on
Stearns' error, advanced when Rob-
ert Fransen was walked, took third
on Everett Fransen's safe bingle and
Scored on Carsons sacrifice fly to
left field. Smart grounded out for
the final three. In the eighth Shan
ahan scored again. He secured a
single and advanced when Everett
Fransen was thrown out at first. He
scored on Towards two base wal
lop but Carson famed.
With the score tied at the end of
the ninth, neither Maine nor Colby
could score until the University lads
managed to push across two count
ers which ciliched the contest.
Stearns flied out to Cutler, Durham
singled after which Driscoll flied out
to Smart Gruhn stuck his body in
to a ball pitched by Howard. Perry
singled but Carson let the ball roll
through him and two runs crossed
the plate. King reached first. on
Fransen's high thrown ball but was
caught on a pretty throw, Shanahan
to Fransen.
Cutler played stellar game for
the Blue and Gray aggregation, both
in the field and at bat. He accepted
nine chances without miscue and
saved a run crossing the plate in the
fourth when he made a one-handed
stab at Kings fast liner for the third
out. Both Fransen brothers played
a fine game also.
Maine took all of the breaks of the
game. Time and time again when it
seemed as though a Blue and Gray
man had hit safely, either Lunge or
Stearns would make a swoop at the
ball and get the runner. Fat" Lunge
was given the usual razzing from
the stands but took it all good ma
turedly. At the bat Stearns lead his
team mates.
