errors that would have made kinder
gar'cn player blush. This exhibition
was not due to any one player Of either
team. but grand combination of all
hands. The home team is much stron-
ger than the college boys, and should
have won with else. Bush again pitch
ed star game for Goddard and his
backstop, Aver was in the game from
start to iinish both when wearing the
mask and when swinging the club.
Perhaps if the loss of the game is to be
placed anywhere it is due to the mex
cusable errors by Chase and Tenncy.
These players, ARE as a rule sure on flies
but in Mondays game either could not sec
the ball or failed to shut their hands in
time, for fly after fly was batted in their
territory only to be either muffed or al
lowed to roll far beyond them while
runner after runner crossed the plate
with scores. SO marked did this be-
come that in the eighth inning Gale was
put in centre, Chase goiug to right and
in the last inning BooIh succeeded
Chase. There was only Il small crowd
present, nearly every one taking in the
celebration at Montpelier. The farce
in Diet Ill is as follows:
Sterns sent an easy 9rounder to Bush
who threw wild and the runner kept on
to third, while Wells was at bat Bush
threw to eaten Sterns at third but the
ball went wild, and the runner scored.
Wells struck out. lIalpin was weak
and could only make three vain attempts
to hit the leather sphere. Drake sent
a slow one to Lamb and was retired at
first bag. Flagg sent a long fly that
was held by Stafford. Pierce cracked
out long one that brought him a limi-
ted ticket to second base. He was ad-
vanced to third by asasriie.e by Tenney
to first base. Lamb witha mighty swing
of his club hit the ball and did not stop
running until safely at third base Pierce
having scored by the work. Aver cot
