IBut it was amuch harder game than we anticipated. For seven long innings we were ableto make only three scattering hits, and two of these were scratches. Meanwhileon some very bad errors the boys from town had secured four runs, which lookedvery large and dangerous. But our time to yell came in the eighth. VVe hadsecured two runs and the bases were full when Marine came to the bat. He hit farinto right field for three bases, and two more hits won for us the game. Score:R. H. E.VV. M.
