BY MARGIN OF D SCORES

The Northern league leaders took anoth-
er fall out Of Rutland yesterday afternoon
and rubbed il in by shutting out the visit
ors. Two runs we're the total for the nine
innings, and they were both Barre Mont
pelieris, where they belonged. for besides
being outplayed the boys from the marble
city put up as ungentlemanly d game of
base ball as has been seen here this year,
protesting whenever there was and when
ever there WASN'T an opportunity for pro-
test and making the game a disagreeable
one for the 200 spectators who went to
see base ball instead of chewing-match
From the first decision Of Umpire Shea ii
was evident that the visitors were out to-
make trouble for that official
But Shea was enough for them, and
when in the sixth their harangue became
unbearabIe even for an umpire he pulled
out watch and informed them IL they
were not in their places and playing ball
within a certain time the game would be
forfeited TO Barre Montpelier That had
the desired effect and the kickers returned
to their places. Mr.. Andy Coakley
posed as the boss kicker and was the most
flagrant offender
Much Id contrast to the actions of the
Rutland players was the conduct of the
home team who were gentlemen On the
field, taking the decisions Of the umpire
With good grace even when it appeared
that they were getting the small end Of
the bargain, And Id the eighth inning
Capt. Morgan gave the visitors an illustra-
tion of true sportmanshIp, after Capt Duff
had been declared ineligible to play in Nc
Mahon's place Id right field since Duff had
batted 10 place Of Brooks, when be waived
his right and allowed the Rutland captain
TO play In MehIahon's position Capt
Morgan action was appreciated by the
crowd In spite of the fact that they had
been very much exasperated BY the puerile
tactics Of Rutland.
Outside Of the kicking, the game was an
excellent one. Dresser and Sheldon Offici-
ated Id the box for the home team and
both were wel-nigh invincible Only one
hit was secured on Bobby IN four in
nings and but two on the 'sbig fellow ia
the next five, a record that has scarcely
been eqnalied ii the league. Eight OF the
Rutland players tanned between kicks,
three Of them being sent to the bench in
succession in the sixth by sheldon Dress
er struck out three in his chance at them.
The little left-hander gave but one free
pass to first, while Sheldon did not give
any. Both were thoroughly reliable.
Pltted against them was O. iBrien, "a Holy
Cross twIrler, who pitched well but was
up against it. Only SIX hits were made
Off him, but the local team succeeded Id
punching three of them In the sixth aud
won the game then and there 0Brien
passed i've men to first on balls but not
one gift resulted disastrDusly owing to the
sharp fielding OF the men back Of him.
Rutland only error was poor throw By
Kennedy to shut off runner at second
and the mlsplay WAS entirely excHsahIe as
Kennedy was playing directly in Appe-
rious' path tn the base line. A sharp dou-
BILE play BY Haiford, Kennedy and Rob.
eTtson helped @ BTien out of bad hole In
the eighth and prevented possible scoring.
Hatford, the new man at short, was vast
Improvement over Saunders, playing q
clean game and rapping out one Of the
three hits made BY bis side.
| Barre Montpelier's iielding was d trile
more ragged Dresser failing to field a
bunt In the iirst Inning. Dorman fumbllne
grouuder and Poland making wild
thi0w to first. There was pretty work
however, Apperions took everything In
sight IN left Nash was tower OF strength
behind the bat and MeEnany and Morgan
did especially well. Poland, as usual. was
a terror to the opposing pitcher, getting
two hits, one d two -bagger
All the scoring came In one inning. the
sixth, both sides drawing goose.eggs for the
| first five. Rutland got man on first
base through Dresseris error IN the first,
| but the man died at second The locals
we're no better oft II the same inning in
/ spite Of base on balls to Nash
Dresser gave his only base on balls to
Cotter IN the second, but that player went
out on an attempt to steal second, Nash
making a perfect throw. Morgan, Dor
man and EoEnany lifted easy tlies and
were out, the first two to Robertson.
/ Brooks and 0'Brien got heated Id the
third and both were famed By Dresser.
but Hafford placed d safe one through sec
oDd base. He got no further as 0'Hara
was sure out on grounder to Morgan.
Poland made the first hit for the home
team also in that inning but he got no
nearer home than Hatf0rd.
I A knot-hole was what Rutland squeezed
through In the fourth. After sinQliue.
Nash was forced at second BY Apperious.
Morgan bit to Kennedy who made poor
throw 20 second to head Off Apperious.
VITA two on bases and only one out it
looked like scores. But Dorman struck
ont and McEnany raised one to first.
sheldon went into the box in the fifth,
and Rutland got no nearer home than iirst
base. II the sixth sheldon gave three
balls to Haif0rd and then struck him out.

after three strikes
