Montpelier shut out ST. Albans 2 to o on
the Intercity grounds yesterday afternoon

land. Burlington leads the league with
l03 points on US. 1t is safe to assert,
however the lead win be cut down by
next Monday, the closing day OF the sea

Thursday against Burlington and also
Saturday against Rutland.

there were really only three, one fly drop

been eaten up by 0'Hara If he hadnt got
into mix-up with Dorman as to who
should take it. The Otner three were

ming. His three bases gu balls were not
costly.
a tall, towering pile OF six feet, three,
named Hennelly, occupied the first sack
for the home team, taking Flynn's place
The crowd agreed that nothing could get
over Hennelly but that some balls might
70 through hun. None did, however, and
he playeda pretty tielding game at the
bat he didn't get bit, but sent out long
fly IN the fourth, which enabled Poland 10
score on the catch. 0'Hara, the new
fielder, was sent into left, Poland placed
in center and Apperions In right. None
Of them had much to do DorInan and
Fleming made an error apiece but neither
was costly
The feature Of the game was a grand
stand catch BY McGraw Off Hennellys bat
In the fifth inning. Poland was on third
and MoGraw was playing in close. The
tall first baseman pasted the ball hard.
McGraw ran in on it and then saw that
he had mlsjudged. He dug back again
and just managed to stop the ball, falling
as be did SO and catching the ball as it
fell. 1t was such a remarkable play that
scarcely anyone in the crowd thought he
had 1t.
In the first inning Dorman and Morgan
singled but nothing came OF 1t. In the
fourth Grant singled for st. Aibans, BEN
nett sacrificed and Higgins singled. 1t
looked like scores for the visitors. But
Uniac pounded one to HennelIy aud was
out, while Sheldon disposed of McGraw
on strikes.
The home teams first tally came in the
fourth after Cox had thrown Morgan out
at first Poland hit one to Bennett and
Cox dropped the latters throw. Nash
dropped one safely into left and Poland
went to third Hennelly bit one into cen
ter field and Poland crossed the rubber
with the first score.
