MAPLES TAKr, GAME 
SECOND OF SERIES Goks TO SALEM 
Nine. -ScorE- Now A’ lik 
The Maples of Salem took Man- 
chester into camp last Saturday in 
the second game of the series of three 
out of five, by the score of 4 to 3, in 
one of the fastest games played on 
the local grounds this summer. It 
was one of the most exciting games 
to watch and was replete with bril- 
liant plays. 
Tihoughwjthe “local tteaniy “was 
strengthened somewhat, by the ad- 
ction wot Srlart..( thet; Uses avi eee: 
pitcher) in centerfield, Perkins was 
not in the game and ‘“Snonto” Col- 
lins, who was behind the bat, was not 
in the best of trim for base throw- 
ing. Bond was pulled in from the 
field to cover first. 
The same old position, short-stop, 
proved Manchester’s undoing. Glenn, 
though a good player, is an out-field- 
er. He was not at home at short. 
The game put the score even, each 
team having one game to its credit. 
The third game will be at Manches- 
ter’ Saturday’twhen 101s’ vexpected 
Perkins will be in the game again. 
His finger, broken in tne Shoe. game 
Labor Day will be healed by that 
time. 
Manchester took the lead in Sat- 
urday’s game in the second inning 
when Frankie O’Leary singled ‘o 
right \freld; Hart swas* safe on Jett 
fielder’s error. O’Connell’s hit ad- 
vanced O’Leary to third and Hart to 
second and Glenn’s single to center- 
field scored them. Gray struck out 
and Glenn was caught stealing 
second. McCarthy struck out, thus 
retiring the side, with 2 runs. 
Manchester’s other run came in the 
eighth. O’Leary had struck out, and 
Hart had sent a fly ball to right field 
fence which O’Donnell thought 
would land on his side of the railing. 
—_—_— -- = 
It landed just out of his reach and 
Hart was safe on second. O’Connelil 
then sent one in right field on the 
edge of the brush. ‘hough he scored 
Hart and reached third himself he 
was sent back to second, on ground 
rules. Glenn sacrificed O/’Connell 
tc third, but Gray was unable to score 
kim, being out Sweeney to Harring- 
ton. 
Several times during the game 
Manchester had a good chance to 
score, but the men at the bat failed 
tc deliver the goods Sin =the shten 
Grover smashed out a two-bagger to 
left field and McCarthy got away 
with a bunt, advancing Grover safely 
to third. Grover tried for home cn 
the mix-up, and reached there, but 
Long called him out for not touching 
the plate. 
Again in the seventh, with -three 
mien on bases, the local boys failed to 
deliver. Glenn, Gwastpouteed¢nsumer 
Linholm, who had replaced Gray, 
struck at a low ball as a third strike 
and was planted on first before Daum 
had recovered the ball. He stole 
second. Grover struck out. McCarthy 
was safe on Harrington’s error, and 
Linholm was on third.  Fitzie look- 
ed Collins over as he came to the bat 
and decided to pass him, perferring 
to fill the bases and take a chane 
at Bond. Ordinarily this would have 
proved fatal, as it did the week be- 
fore. But Bond struck out. No iuns. 
In the last inning Fitzie struck out 
two men and the third was out on an - 
easy throw to first. 
The Maples scored two of their 
runs in the third, one each im the 
fifth and ninth. O’Donnell was safe 
on O’Leary’s error. Harrington hit 
to Glenn and was safe. Sweeney 
sacrificed, and Strong scored the two 
on a hit to right field, that McCarthy 
ought to have got in time to shut off 
one of the runners by throwing home 
instead of to the pitcher.
