mary Team.
The Barre Times of Saturday said with
reference to the Goddard seminary base
ball team
Monday the nine will start off on its
first trip away from Barre. They will
leave on the $3.50 A. NJ train Monday and
that afternoon will play Burlington High
school at Burlington, and the ST. Adams
High school at ST. Adams Tuesday. They |
will return either late Tuesday night or
early Wednesday morning. They ought |
to win both games. Capt. Aver will take |
Booth along so as to relieve Bush, if the |
nine secures a good ead,in either game, as |
he fears the strain of pitching two games |
right off may be too much for him. Chase,
whose hands have been in bad shape, will |
60 with the nine as he is all right now.
bush is proving himself a very decep-
tive pitcher. In the last two games he
struck out 10 men to / by the opposing
pitchers. In Aver he has a good catcher,
and the two make a good battery, and one
that is sure to be a stumbling block to
more than one team in the league"
