Babe Lapidus did the finging for
seven frames, retiring after that
inning in favor of Plummer, who
had little to worry about with

Babes hurting was effective, the
Somerset lads finding him for only

to show his whip. but in practice
made a good impression. On Goodies
peg to the plate in the sixth he was
cool when Dysart came charging
into the platter.
Bradstreet on the initial sack took
everything that came his way but
failed to connect with the willow.
Tiny Overlook easily smothered the
two chances that came his way and
clipped out a couple Of hits, one or
them for two stations.
"Honk" Webb at short, took three
hot ones a la Shorty Fitzpatrick and
by the same token let one slip be-
tween his legs. His most impressive
showing was at the bat, a screeching
triple and two safeties in four times
up, Nickless worked five frames at
third and while a bit uncertain in
the field he banged out a timely
single in the first that accounted for
two runs. Stiles who succeeded him
registered a couple of assists but hit
in hard luck.

was forced out in the fifth when he
wrenched an already bum ankle. He
was succeeded by Howe who had lit

head but luckily was not badly hurt.
Bobby Goode went hitless for the
matinee but pulled a cheer when he
took Cowette's single on the bound
and bulleted the pill to the plate thus
baking Skowhegan's effort to avoid
whitewash. Bell passed a
lonesome afternoon In right but

good at times but his support was
ragged. p. Lewia at second gave
the best exhibition three of his six
chances being hard ones to handle.
Cony scored six in the first on a
walk. two sacrifices. three hobbies
and a couple OF hits. Another was
added in the third on an error,
fielder's choice and a single. Three
more came in the fourth on a triple,
single and a trio of miscues.
There was a fairly good turnout
of Cony students but outside of a
rather weak attempt at cheering in
the early frames the school spirit
was kept bottled up. most of the
energy being confined to munching
