Two Barre Ball Teams
Defeated Rivals.
GODDARD BEAT NORWICH

a Game as is Ever Seen,
at Northfield.

Northfeld, May 1.-THE Goddard Sem
mary base ball team defeated Norwich
University in well played game Of base
ball Saturday afternoon by a score Of IA to
II. This was Goddard's s first game away
from home and she put up the best game
Of the season, playing an almost errorless
game. Seaver made the only error which
was an excuseable one.
Goddard started out scoring from the
beginning, running in three scores in the
first inning and four in each Of the third
and fourth innings. Lewis was in fine
shape and pitched an excellant game up to
the sixth inning when Fraser was put in
to the box. Lewis struck out i've men and
gave three bases on balls. The visitors
did great work at the bat as well as in the
field, making / / single hits off Morris, and
two two base hits and one three base by
Buchanan.
Costly errors characterized Norwiehfs S
playing, although she did some good work
with the stick after Fraser went into the
box, knocking out three home runs in two
innings, and Is singles during the game
Fraser closed the game with a sensa-
tional one handed catch Of very high fly
straight up between pitcher and catcher.
During the past week Goddard has been
putting in some good hard profitable prac-
tice. A decided Improvement has been
made Ia the in-ield by the changing places
Of Seaver and Murray,

Norwich in Barre eight to seven.

Attempt to Run Cars
Causes Riots.
BOMBARDMENT OF BRICKS.
Fire Department Came Out and Used
Steamer Streams to Scatter
the Rioters.

Bridgeport, Conn, May 1s.-The at
tempt made by the officials Of the Connec-
ticut Railway and Lighting company, to
run their cars with non-union men yester-
day resulted in a riot in which at least Is
men were injured. The sheriff hopes that
1t will not be necessary to call out the
state troops but says that another such
outbreak as occurred then will make that
step inevitable At the present time it is
possible that the county sheriff will super
sede the police in the control of the city.
All was quiet this morning after yester-
days exciting scenes and rioting. No at
temptswas made to run early cars and the
company evidently wishes to wait until
the authorities are settled on definite
course Of action for the protection Of the
cars. The strikers announced today that
they would 90 out with patrolmen in a
section where trouble is likely to occur
and attempt to prevent interference with
traffic or destruction Of property.
