SEMINARY BOYS

The baseball season In Barre opened
on the Seminary campus at 4.3O yes
terday afternoon when short prac-
tice game OF 4 innings between the
Goddard team and the Independents
of the city resulted in a victory for
the former by a score Of 10 to 2.
The day was cold and the wind blew
a hurricane so that 1t was impossible
to create any great enthusiasm on
either side or to make any fair esti-
mate Of the ability of the players.
Both teams did some fairly good work
at the bat and the fielding was as
clean as could be expected in such
weather. Before the season is over
there will probably be some exciting
games between the teams for they are
both made up OF first class material,
and will play good baseball.
The final score was Goddard 10;
Independents 2.
The line up Of the two teams was
