BY The INTERCITY TEAM

Burlington marched over, and then
marched back again -outgeneralled, ont
fought and all but slaughtered.
While Barre-Montpelier climbs up, up,
up--toward the coveted penaant
With re0rganized team on which only
three old faces. and those very anxious
faces, we're to be noted the Recruits
from the Queen City were defeated on the
home grounds yesterday afternoon, by the
score of four to one II would have been
four to nothing had Sheldon been given
anywhere near errorless support. But as
it was, some Of the home team, notably
Nash and Dorman, had their off days, and
the Burlington contingent went back with
slight salye for their wounded feelings
in the shape Of one lone tally. Two thou
sand people saw the game, the bleachers
and the grandstaud being packed to the
limit.
In the reorganized Burlington team were
two league pitchers, Lindman who halls
from Hoboken, y j., and Crystal from
Toledo, Ohio. The former essayed to stop
the victorious career Of the home team,
and the Intercity gave him warm recep-
tion, SO warm that he was led to the stable
after the fifth inning and Crystal, south
pay trotted out. The Intercitys pounded
out nine clean hits Off the Hoboken gen.
tleman; Crystal had better luck, only one
single being secured off him In the three
innings he oiiiciated But the game was
lost TO Burlington before Crystal let the
light of day through onto the visitors.
Against the Recruits the local man
agement sent Sheldon, and the way be
burned them over the plate was delight.
The ''big fellow pitched q magnificent
game, steady a. clock, and with All as
sortment Of balls that mystified the Bur-
| iington crowd He allowed but four meas
ley little singles, with another on which It
was a t0ss-up with the scorer whether to
give scratch bit or to credit an error to
Poland on second. The little fellow hust-
led away over to FIRST after hot ground
er, stopped Il and then lost his balance
long enough for the runner TO get first. Ii
might be classed scratch hit. But Shell
don was there with the goods from the
first inning when he famed Hartman aud
| Hays in quick succession until Bassford
a recruit, pounded the atmosphere three
times In the ninth. II was Sheldon's
game from the start 10 spite Of the support
which was at times wierd. Occasionally
out of sheer kindness Of heart he would
/ let up and present the visitors hit, and
in each case the batter looked world Of
thanks. Besides pitching admirably and
fielding his position without an error, the
big fellow swung his stick la the fourth
for double which might easily have been
converted into triples, ending in one score,
and crossing the plate himself little later.
| The Intereitys were strong at the bat,
every man on the team getting hit, and
Capt. Morgan making it two, and the
hits were clean raps when the
ball met the ball squarely and went on q
| line. The base-running too, was splen-
did, one of the prettiest exhibitions being
a double steal by Burke and Morgan.
There were no particular features ln field
| ing on either side
There was scoring In only three inn

| ~ close to il on several other occasions.
| With two strike-outs for sheldon and a
/ fly to Apperious, Burlington was easy in
the first. For the home team, Poland
was presented gift of base by the new
pitcher, LIndman, and the little fellow

Shea declared Poland out.
/ Hazelton opened with single for Bur-
lington In the second, but his colleagues
died lamely. Not SO with the Barre
Montpelier crowd however. Nash slant

took third on Burke's rattling double to
right. Morgan was disposed Of easily
and then Stewart singled. Nash scored,

worried. Stewart gaIloped for second and
was safe on Hartmans failure to hold La

the second run. So much for a starter

Lindman frightened up temporarily.
The new Burlington catcher singled In
I the third, but was left ON second through
the inability Of his team mates to fix up
matters with Sheldon. Poland had no
better luck when he slammed one down
