MANCHESTER LOSES 
FINAL GAME OF BEVERLY SERIES--- 
Srart Netw Series WITH 
MAPLES OF SALEM. 
Manchester lost the final game of 
the series with Beverly at the High 
School park, Beverly, last Saturday 
afternoon, 4-0, in one of the most 
heart-rending kind of defeats imagi:- 
able. The boys were out-played at 
every point of the game, with the ex- 
ception of pitching, though there is 
no question in the minds of Man- 
chester fans that the 
team played one of the poorest games 
of the season. 
A- combination of errors, with all 
the breaks against them, together 
with. inability to come across with the 
stick at the proper mo~ent, and some 
poor fielding at crucial points, was 
responsible for the defeat, Beverly 
played. almost perfect ball. ‘The 
game was so far different from the 
game of the week previous when 
Manchester won out.in the toth in- 
ning, that it looked like mere child’s 
Mayan bie score of ‘only 4 to o 
does not indicate the looseness of the 
playing at times. 
Jess: Barnes of the Boston Braves, 
was in the box for Manchester and 
he played a grand game both in the 
box andatethe bat.” - One of the 
Shannon boys, also with the Braves, 
filled the short-stop position. He, too, 
played a splendid game. ‘The rest of 
the line-up was the same as in the 
other two games, Grover was on the 
bench. His arm had been bothering 
him for two or three weeks and the 
managers felt he ought not be made 
to pitch last Saturday’s game. 
‘Beverly on the other hand had 
four new men—all stars. The teain 
as constituted last Saturday would 
have been a hard one to beat under 
any circumstances. 
The most heart-rending features of 
Manchester’s . downfall was _ whea 
Frankie O’Leary, Manchester’s third 
sacker let a ball through him for a 
safe hit, and later in the same inning 
threw the ball home to head off a man 
and hit the runner in the head, with 
the result that two runs came home 
on the play. And later in the game, 
with the bases full and one out Jackie 
Gray tried to bunt the ball for a 
squeeze play. Instead of laying the 
ball on the ground Jackie popped it 
into Hopkins hands near third for an 
unassisted double. These two plays 
took the gimp out of Manchester’s 
sails, 
The crowd at the game was the 
biggest to see a baseball game in this 
section on record. There were 1800
