Errors Min In with Hair-Raising Stunts
and Contest Proves Interesting.
the fast and snappy contest Sun-
day afternoon at the Meadows, in
Bridgeport. the Newfields defeated
Darien by a 53 score. Despite the er-
rors made it was a pretty' game to
watch, as the holders Would come back
with a hair-raising play and more than
made up for the mlscue.
Both teams played a good consist-
ent game, and as the hittingwas light
on both sides, it was a case of which
twirler would hold out:
Dowlley was on the mound for the
Bridgeport boys and he kept the hits
pretty well scattered, with the excep-
tion of the fourth inning, when Dar-
Ien got to him for three hits, and cou-
pled with a pain of errors by the local
Infield they tapped home thrice.
Again in the sixth they connected
for a double and a. single, resulting in
one run.
The game was featured by "Yellow"
White's stop of a screaming ground-
er and Keane's catch of a high drive
in 'ieft field for the visitors.
The Newflelds started the run get-
ting ln the first round, when a brace
of hits, a walk and an error by E.
Creagh resulted in two runs. They
kept up the‘flrcworks In the second
round and on good, clean, consecutive
hitting and another nliscue by E.
Creagh, who, by the way. had an off
ay, they rung up two more tallies.
They had no more chances to score
until the seventh when, with a double
by Hoeschele and a single by Meehan,
they tapped the rubber for one more
run.
The Darleus Were blanked with the
exception of the fodrth and sixth ses-
sions, when they scored as mentioned
above. '
Dunbar's play at short should also
be mentioned. as he accepted nine
out of ten chances: and was in the
way of. everything“. -:
Not a man stole a base on liranni-
gun, as they had too lnuch respect for
his good right arm. Volk, for the
Darlene, pitched a pretty game and
the score would have been closer but
for the support behind him wabbling
at critical times. The score:
