Goddard Wins Again.
Beats St. Adams and has Another
Chance For the Cup - Bush
A Star Game.

The "rOOlefS were lhPP.
nioht for Goddard had secured new
lease of life and a possible chance OF
keeping the league cup another ye'r'
All this happened as result OF the con
test played with the st. Adams hlsh
school team here on Saturday afternoon
and which ended in victory Tor the
Goddard team by a score OF 10 10 ~ III
a six inning contest. The victory on
Saturday makes the end of the league
season still in doubt, three teams nav
inc a chance for the cup, Goddard, st.
Adams and Montpelier, As will be
given elsewhere, should Goddard win
at St. Johnsbnry today, st. Adams and
Goddard will be tied for first position
and if Goddard and St. Adams win from
Montpelier the season will end in tie.
On the other hand if Goddard wins from
st. Johnsbury and loses to Montpelier
and likewise St. Adams drops a game
to the Montpelierites then the Goddarts
and st. Adams will be tied for second
place. while Montpelier captures the
cup. But if games 90 certain ways st:
Johnsbury may tic the teams, and
games can result in such a way that
Montpelier may also be tied with the
other three teams. The only way by
which Goddard can win the cup for
a second time is by gaining victories at
both St. Johnsbury today and also q,
Montpelier, and have st Adams lose to
the Capital city aggregation. The los
ing of the game today will settle the
Goddards chances except for second
place or for tie. 1t is an interesting
race.
Saturdays game started in 4 down
pour of rain. There were no changes
in the makeup of the Goddards. Aver
chased hard fouls and acted as the re.
cciving end of the battery in his usual
excellent style, although wet ball
made some difference in his base throw.
ing. Bush, with the same steady hand
as in previous games, kept the hits
well scattered, and but for few bases
on balls, due to the wet ball perhaps
pitched perfect game, Cole guarded
first bag without much poor work
Tenney gave the usual work Of uncer
tainty at second. making ragged errors
at critical moments, allowing runners te
score and other times doing such good
playing as to bring forth the cheers and
cries of "What's the matter with Ten.
ncy?' Flagg covered a large amount
of territory around the shortstops posi-
ton, and prevented several runs being
added to the column of the visitors
Lamb played a good game at third
touching some players who were declar
ed safe by the imported umpire. The
three tielders filled the bill in salts
factory manner. AT the bat Bush ,Flagg
Lamb and Aver excelled. The visitors
played much better fielding game
than Goddard, but with the stick were
far in the rear, failing to bunch hits
and Hatch was the only St. Albans
player to make more than II single
Willet and Hatch were the best fielding
members of the visitors. The umpirino
was in the hands of +. w. Jackson Of
this city, who did good work, his com
panion being DAILY, the first baseman Of
last seasons st. Adams league team
and he must have left his lantern AT
home judging by the way he roasted the
Goddards both on base decisions and on
balls and strikes. lie showed himself
to be wholly incompetent and unable to
be impartial. lie should not be allow.

The captain and q few others of thc
Montpelier team were in attendance but
they must have left their good manners
at home, for they We're requested to pay
for their admission to the game, but re-
fused at first to do so, going to the fence
and when approached by Special Police
Officer +. Il. Perry. they said thew
would not pay until others on the fence
did so, but Perry was determined and
plainly told them to pay or leave tho
grounds. After using some obscene
language against the Goddard PLAYERS
the admission was paid and the Ganc
from the capital then went to the 81
Adams bench and endeavored to ..rot.

and the Barre ''rootcrs" could not ho
