STUPID RUNNING.
Game Goes to Montpelier Semin-
ary-Goddard Can Only Tie 81
Adams For the Cup-Bush and
Aver Do Fine Work.

When the game of base ball on the
seminary campus ended last night God
dard Seminary by meeting defeat at the
hands of their old time rivals, the Mont.
pelier Seminary boys, lost all chance OF
winning the cup which is now held by
the home team. The defeat yesterday
is due solely to the poor coaching, fail
ure to bunch hits and poor team work.
Aver, as catcher for Goddard, was all
right, giving Bush fine support. Bush
was in the "box" for the Goddards and
pitched the best game he has given this
season, as the struck out list shows.
Had he been given proper support by
the whole team Montpelier would have
gone home in sadness and the cup
would perhaps have remained here
Cole on first played changing game,
and threw one run away by poor run
ming, and also showed up poor as a
coacher, stopping Gale when the | liter
had ample time to score. Such work
would lose any game. Tenney gave the
same poor exhibition at second that he
has presented in previous games, failing

costly errors all through the game
Tcnney appears to have also lost his eye,
as his stick work was far from even
good. Flagg did fairly well, but was
also off at the bat. Lamb stopped some
and some he did not He can play
much better ball than he did yesterday
Gale in right had few chances in the
field but did excellent work at the bat
Pierce and IIealey might have played
better ball than they did in left and cen
ter field. There was some excitement
caused by the pugilistc exhibition given
by "Reddy" Brown, the Montpelier
twirler, in the fifth inning, when he
made an uncallcd for attack on Tennev
who was playing second. For a time
it looked as though the matter might be
settled with a few blows. Brown was
certainly in the wrong as he deliberate
ly made an attack on Tenney which was
uncallcd for. The Montpelier pitcher
should have been ordered to the bench
The only Montpelier player who de-
serves any special notice is Webb. He
is the only gentleman in the team, and

catch which would make many league
men blush, his stops were many and at
the bat he hit the ball hard. To Webb
is Montpelier indebted for victory if to
any individual player. Until Goddard
is managed right when on the field the
team must expect to lose. Poor coach.

was Goddard. Hits by Brown and
Slayton in the next inning gave the visi-
tors two more runs. In this inning
Aver made first on an error and was
brought home by the hit of Gale. More
runs should have been made by God
dard in this inning but for the poor
coaching. No runs we made by either
team in the eighth, but in the last in
