HOME TEAM WON GAME

lhe Burlington base ball team with an
''unbroken string Of six victories, a large
slice OF Holyoke, Mass, aud liberal sec
tion Of Toledo Ohio, etc, came here
yesterday afternoon. They went back
with the string of victories broken, the
Holyoke idol shattered and the Toledo
bunch calling for help. Barre Montpelier
won deserved victory by the score Of
to 2, In as pretty game as has been
played on the home grounds this season
Manager Whitney's pet, big RUDE" Wick
ers, imported from Holyoke expressly TO
beat the Intercity team, went down with a
thud.
The defeat nettled 'Ruben considerably
but pleased the big crowd nightly, and
the Holyoke recruit had to take q lot Of
chaaiug all through the game. Each
/ pitcher was touched up rather hard. but
Sheldon was more fortunate in keeping
those off his delivery scattered with the ex-
ception Of the sixth when Burlington
punched four hits and made their two
tallies. The safe swipes off Vickers came
when they were the most needed, Capt
Morgan, Stewart, Nash and Sheldon find
ing the ball az critical points and bringing
In scores. Each of the big twirlers gave
u b00 0ncC1 C4 BAAAo 0Nb JUEtNNN
seven while only three fell victims to
| Nicker's delivery.
Both teams played snappy game and
there was no Sinking from the start to
the finish of the contest. Hartman and
Hays contributed pretty plays, the former
gathering in an almost sure hit by Nash
out in left field, and the latter knocking
down swift grounder from the same bat
ter and getting bis man at first by close
play. MeEnany covered his position well
and Dorman made pretty stop Of diff
cult grounder, touched second and threw
to Burke. completing fast double play.
Poland aud Morgan each got two hits,
i while Apperious sent out one OF the long
ones for which he is famous and on which
he got three bases this time. Nash got
bis usual bit and he also backed up Shell
don in good style.
/ There was no scoring until the fourth
when the home team earned run. Lau-
renee and Hartman, the iirst two meu up
for Burlington in the initial inning, struck
out. Hays doubled but was left on second,
Hazalton sending up a fly for Poland The
little right fielder singled for Barre Mont
pelier IN the same inning, and later stole
second. It did no good, however, as be
got caught off third, after Morgan had
scratched hit TO first. The visitors made
two hits In the second but they came to
naught, IS Denninger was caught of first
By trappy throw from Nash, Brouthers
gave Morgan an easy one and Brennan
I struck ont.
Both sides then went out easily until
the fourth Sammy Apperious came
up the first man in that inning. He swung
his whole long body against the ball and
the sphere took wings to the regions Of
the river bank in deep left. Next to
"Sammy'sH wonderful home run drive
over the fence against Plattsburg. this
was the longest ever made on the grounds.
The runner rested on third, "Jimmlen
Morgan, the emergency hitter, was next
man up, and there was something doing.
Jimmie pasted the ball SO hard that the
| Burlington inield lost Ii, Brouthers found
| It In center. field, but by that time Apper-
ious was across the plate and the Captain
roostlng on first. That was all for that
Elnning, The first two Burlington men up
in the fifth, Bionthers and Simon, were
moved down BY Sheldon, and Brennan
| put up one for Apperious BY consecu-
tive hitting the home team scored two
more in the same inning. After Sheldon
had flied to left Poland singled to right
field Poland started TO steal and Stewart
swatted the ball way into center. Poland
couldn't stop and so another tally was reg
istered for B,-M. Nash sent out a daisy
| for two bases and Stewart scored.
With that 1t looked like a sure victory
for the boys in gray and possibly a shut
out. But Burlington came to itself In the
next inning and prevented whitewah BY
scoring twice. Vickers sent Texas
leagurer over second but was forced d
moment later on Laurence grounder to
Sheldon. Laurence was treated likewise
on Hartman's grounder to MoEnany. Hays
| got clean hit to right, followed by an
other BIZ Hazelton which scored Hartman.
Then DenniugeT made his second safe hit
and Hays crossed the rubber Brouthers
/ popped one to McEnany.
Dorman was given base on balls in
sixth and sRube'' Vickers threw down his
/ glove In fit of pettishness over Umpire
| Whittemore's poor eye-sight. McEnany
touched the ball for pretty sacrifice hit.
Burke hit TO Hartman who threw Dorman
/ out attempting to take third. The swift
/ tUed Burke stole second easily and Shell
4 don sent q grass-cutter into center field,
scoring his first baseman. That was the
end as Poland went out on fly to Lau-
renee.
The .shig fellow passed Simon Ia the
seventh but captured Brennan's high foul
VIckers sent a roller to Dorman and ST..
mon was out at second. McEuany's throw
to complete double went feet above
Burkes head and Viokers waddled down
to second, Little Laurence couldn't do
anything and the spasm was over Bur
lington tried hard again in the eighth.
