SERIES LOST 
MANCHESTER EAsy FOR MARBLEHEAD 
In SECOND GAME FOR CHAM- 
PIONSHIP. 
Gon BYE Championship! Man- 
chester dropped the second game 
of the series with Marblehead at Bev- 
erly Athletic Field last Saturday af- 
ternoon and elected Marblehead to the 
baseball championship of Essex 
County. As was the case with the 
first game at Marblehead the contest 
was won in the seventh inning, but 
the breaks were not to be blamed this 
«ime. Manchester was leading with a 
margin of one run at the end of the 
sixth, but in the “lucky” (?) seventh 
Grover walked three men, allowed 
two singles and a two-bagger for a 
total of ‘tue rinse | 
Marblehead played the same men 
who took part in the first game, re- 
placing Davidson by White in the 
seventh inning. White’s two-bagger 
with three men on was the hit that 
broke up the game and started Grover 
aviating. The rest was easy, the big 
southpaw blowing sky high. Whit- 
aker, the spare pitcher, who replaced 
“Bobber” Conl ey in left field, played 
a star game, pulling down four diff- 
cult flies. ‘“‘Bobber” played at short 
and filled “Sandy” Herron’s shoes in 
good form. Gourley was back at his 
old place in the right garden where 
he distinguished himself by pulling 
down Davies’ long fly and heading off 
Skilton and Sweeney in the first. 
Manchester’s infield game was a 
little ragged at times and it seemed to 
be an off-day all around. Even 
©’Leary was not in his customary 
form, although he whipped a couple 
of throws across the diamond in the 
old time way. Devlin played his usual 
snappy game at first and drove in one 
of Manchester’s runs with a healthy 
two base drive. 
E. Burdette started things for Mar- 
blehead with an easy bounder to Cody 
and was out at first. Davidson hit to 
Grover for the second out. Skilton 
got a two-bagger and Sweeney was 
Second and Third.

session at the bat. 
Donovan earned a base on balls by 
waiting out Grover in the second. 
Volk hit to Grover and the latter was 
charged with an error he did not de- 
serve when he threw wide to first. A 
mixup occurred between Devlin and 
Cody at the bag so that when Grover 
started his throw the base was not 
covered. R. Murphy sent a grounder 
to O’Leary who slipped while trying 
to field the ball. This filled the bases 
and LL. Burdette’s long fly to Conley 
scored Donovan who beat the throw 
easily. E. Burdette drew a pass to 
first and Davidson bunted. Perkins 
fielded ‘the hit to Devlin and caught 
Volk at the plate on the return throw. 
Score—Manchester 0; Marblehead 1. 
In Manchester’s half of the second 
Devlin flied to Sweeney, Whitaker 
singled to Murphy and was caught at- 
tempting to steal second. Larry Con- 
ley flied to Donovan. Cody’s error 
in the third let Skilton get to first. 
Sweeney sacrificed and Donovan and 
Davies fanned. B. Conley and Grover 
fanned in Manchester’s half and Per- 
kins flied to Davidson. Volk started 
the fourth by flying to Whitaker. 
Murphy was passed and caught off

Devlin pounded out a nice two-bagger 
scoring O’Leary. He stole third and 
came home when Davidson dropped 
Sweeney’s throw. Whitaker struck 
out. Score—Manchester 2; Marble- 
head 1. 
In the fifth E. Burdette grounded 
to O’Leary for an out, Davidson was 
thrown out by Grover and Skilton 
flied to Whitaker who made a fine 
running catch. Conley brothers and 
Grover went out in order in the 
second half of the inning. In the 
sixth Sweeney was thrown out at the 
bag by B, Conley and Davies fouled
