When the Vermont Varsity boys get back
to their home in Burlington, they viii
entertain the Green Mountaineers with
graphic stories of how they were able
to score five runs in a game with the
Washington leaguers. The wonderment
and pride of the natives over the achieve
ment Of the conegians can be wellinagined.
The lusty youths with hair like piano
players were very proud oil their quintet
of tallies, and really that they got so many
across the plate against the veterans was
cause for pardonable pride.
The weather, too, was to their liking,
reminding them, as they said, OF an August
day "to hume This, with the wind blow
ing keen and cutting, and only an occa-
sioual burst of sunshine TO warm the
shiyering fans who crouched in the grand
stand.
The visitors played a neat game, and,
considering that they are from section
where baseball does not flourish hke a
green bay tree, as 1t does In other parts
of Uncle Sams domain, their skill and
knowledge entities them to the highest
compliments. Barring the habit of going
up in the air under the heavy fire and fast
play of their opponents, they are very
proficient liz fielding and possess the very
necessary qualification of club of being
able to hit the ball.
The work of Pitcher Dinsmore and Catcher
Aldinger and the center field play of john
son We're the features. Dinsmore had an
aim like squirrel hunter During the time
he homharded the Senatorial sluggers he
only gave one base on balls. though Billy
Lush managed to secure couple OF free
tickets to first by getting in the way OF
a pair Of inshoots
The varsity executed duo Of pretty
double plays, one in the second, between
Shortstop Farr, First BaSeman Emery
and Catcher Aldinger, doubling German
and Brown and the other in the sixth
when Johnson caught o'Brien's fly TO
center and threw wrigley out at the plate
by a beautiful return of the ball.
Cartwright was bit stiff and was given
a day off to recuperate. Ed watched the
game from the grand stand, and though
he has been a Senator for three seasons
and is now entering upon his foarth term,
1t was the first time he was ever out OF
q uniform during an afternoon that the
team played at home.
In the absence of Piano Legs jim
Mcclure donned the glove and covered the
initial corner In the sixth he gave way
to A she, who finished the game Jim and
Steve took care of the bag and territory
surrounding in regular Cartwright style.
Farrell caught until the sixth, when
wrigley averred TO Manager Schmelz that
he was some pumpkins as backstop, and
as the Duke" needed rest "Zeke' was
allowed to buckle on the wind-pad and
undertake the receiving end of the battery
"Zeke-' told the players while be was be
ing harnessed up in the protector mask
and NIT. that back in his young days he
was the premier catcher OF the 'Hotrags of
Harlem
"Zekc's" first dash out Of the box was
not calculated to fatten his average. On
the attempt of an assist on Suites third
strike, which he dropped, he fired the
bali ten feet over Ashes head, and the
runner reached third ON the error. He
then settled down and caught IN hot
rag form And the first time up with the
bat he laced the ball to left center for two
bases, but got too gay in trying TO score
on 'Brien : flyout, and was nailed by the
big Green Mountain catcher, as he came
sliding headfirst to the plate.
German, Norton, and Kimble formed
the Senatorial trio of twirlers- German
pitched three innings, Norton two, and
Kimble wound up the proceedings

in the firth the Senators made six by
