Won a Victory.
The Champion Goddards Defeat
Burlington High School FL to 6.


High School by a score of 81 to On
the Seminary campus Saturday after
noon, and thus open the Interscholis,ic
season with Il victory. The Goddards
played the best game since their appear
ance on the dimond. The strong point
of the home team was in the battery
Bush had complete control of the ball t,
and never got wild. He is sure TO de-
velope into the best twirer Goddard
ever gave place on a ball team. The
receiving end of the battery is Aver, a
player of long experience and the equal
of any catcecr who ever wore a Goddard
uniform. lis throwing to bases is per-
feet. Too much could not be said con-
cerning the great work by the Goddard
battery, and this will prove a valuable
equipment in the league contest. In
addition to the work as battery both
Bush and Aver used the stick i'll much
the same way as Dewey and his men
handled the Spanish fleet. II is not
necessary to mention every Goddard
player, as Severy man did excellent work
in the field and with the club. In only
one inning did the Goddards field poor
ly and then their long lead prevented
the visitors from deriving any advan-
tage. For the visitors Williams the
colored captain aud Fisher did the best
work. The visitors lost through poor
stick work and ragged fielding. Nor
gan their pitcher has been advertised
us ii crackeriack, but if his work here
is a sample Of his wonderful abilities,
the man has been wrongly nrmed.
Goddard found no trouble in making
singles and doubles at will. Harry
Lielh, captain of last year, Godlards,
but now OF the University Of Vermont,
umpircd the game to the complete sat
sfarton of both sides. BY winning the
game Goddard leads the Vernon Inter
scholastic league having won one game
lost none, while burlington has defeat
ed ST. Adams High School. The next
game in the league to be played by the
Goddarls is at Burlington next week
Monday. The teams in this league are
