BUT RUTLAND WON GAME
Visitors Earned Two Of Their Seven
Scores, Hyphsns One Of
Their Three.

eddie sheldon, the hard working but
unfortunate box artist Of the Barre-Mont-
pelier team, pitched an admirable game Of
ball at the Intercity park Saturday after
noon, but there were few weak links in
the supporting chain and Rutland pune
tured the defences much as the Japs are
giving the Russians theirs. McEnany,
who has been tried off and on at second,
was the link Of lead which busted first.
McEnany tries hard but he Is not the man
for the position. His two errors prior to
his removal from the game cost lhe home
team three scores. Apperl0us who was
placed in right field with Poland changed
to left, made an error which cost one run.
Poland lost fly in the sun and the ball
dropped just at his feet. The changing OF
the two players did not work well. Nash
also allowed ball TO get by him which
was costly. And then the chain was gen
orally weak in batting being unable to
fathom successfully the twisters of Min
nehan, the same cherubic-featured indivi-
dual who had twice caused US to bite the
earth.
The score Of the game was to 8, and
Rutland earned two OF her seven runs,
The others were more or less gratuitOus,
mostly more. Sheldon was touched up
for eight hits in the nine innings. He
struck out eight men, He made ten as
sists to first and fooled only once. He
made a home run which caused two tall
lies to be marked to the home teams ae-
count An excellent Individual record
which deserved something better than de-
feat, Inning after inning the best Rut-
land could do was to bat easy gronnders
to the infeld Then the chain snapped
most lnexcusabiy. In five innings Rutland
had secured one safety. After the field
ers began to make errors RutlaDd made
seven more.
Rutland scored in the first inning. Car
roll was hit by the ball and stole second.
/ O'Hara and Robertson went out easily
and then McEnany fumbled Duf's
grounder and Carroll scored. MeMah0n
| hit lamely to Sheldon. They got two more
1 ii the fourth. After Robertson had been
retired, Duff got base on balls McMa'
hon hit an easy grounder to MeEnany and
double play should have resulted. But
McEnany fumbled and both men were
1 safe. Nash had d passed ball and ths
