Team is Victorious by Score
of to 8. ,

of 8 to 5. ui
The ball game last Saturday on the
Old Fair Grounds between the Wood
bury and Morrisville teams was in
| teresting from start to finish and
drew fair sized audience considering
the time in which the game had been
advertised. The visitors put a strong
line up in the field which included
Thomas, Drenan and Grape of the
Montpelier Seminary and McGee and
Emery of Goddard. Thomas caught
the past season for Parker at Mont
pelier and MCGEE did some successful
twlrling for the Goddard Seminary
team. The Morrisville infield was
changed and apparently considerably
strengthened. Woodward fitted very
nicely into the position at short stop
and put up Il star game. Forbush
covered second very satisfactorily,
only getting one error to his credit.
Leach at first and Wilkins on the
base across the diamond, put the
proper amount of life into the game.
Parker and Miner did great work as
the Morrisvile battery. Parker
struck out IA men and Miner con-
nected with several foul flies, Civ ny
Is put-outs to his credit.
The WoOdburys are agood batting
team but were unable to do business
when up against Parker's puzzlers.
Grape headed the batting list for
Montpelier this spring, but was IN
able to get a hit Saturday. McGee
was wild the first few innings but
demonstrated the fact that he could
pitch and settled down to good bust
ness the last part of the game. He
was hit quite freely by the home team
