And another one
But not so easy.
The two leaders in the Northern league
race came together on the local diamond
yesterday afternoon, and st. Albans went
down before Barre Montpelier, while
1000 enthusiasts yelled themselves hoarse.
The game was not won until the last st.
AIbans man was out in the ninth inning,
and then the score stood six to 1--WE Il
was a battle royal for nine innings, and
the big crowd was kept on pins and nee
dies all the way through By winning
that game the intercity team retains its
place at the head Of the league, while st.
AIbaus drops below Rutland, by the lat
ters winning from Plattsburg yesterday.
The attendance yesterday was all that
could be desired, and while not as large as
that Of the opening game Saturday was
too large for the seating capacity Of the
park The bleachers were again packed
with fans, while there was scarcely va
cant seat in the grandstand. The overflow
ran along the right and left field lines,and
teams and automobiles were lined up
alongside. The game was much more ex-
citing than the one Saturday with Bur-
lington as the teams we're more nearly
matched At the start Rarre- Montpelier
went in and ran up five scores before st.
Aibans fairly got s-going. Then the vls-
itors woke up and tallied four times. In
the sixth they crossed the plate once more.
tying the score. That was the last they
saw Of the home plate however, as the
home team steadied down and held them
safely
The two ssouthpaws Dresser and Cox,
were pitted against each other, and hon
rs were about even. Dresser allowed the
vsit0rs Eve hits aud the Bowdoln college
star was touched up for only four, Both
of them were as wild as hawks, however,
and it was due to the excellent work Of
the teams back of them that the scores
were not larger. Cox passed eight men to
first On balls, and Dresser was good to
six, besides hitting one man. But the
free passes by Cox were more costly, and
figured directly in the home teams vieto-
rs. He was the cause of his own defeat
in spite Of his good pitching. Cox famed
eight Of the home team. and Dresser did
the tanning act to FIVE st. Albans men.
Capt. Morgan Of the Barre Montpelier
combination again showed UP we'll. with
the stick, securing two hits and sending
in three of the six runs secured By the
home team. Morgan also played a pretty
game in the field accepting his five chances
without an error. Burke did well on lirst,
and gave one Of the prettiest exhibitions
of base running seen here for long time.
In the seventh inning Burke was on first
base when Capt. Morgan tapped the ball
| into center field. Like q flash Burke was
OFT, aud before the ball could be delded In
to the plate he had crossed the rubber
1 with the run which proved to be the win
ming tally. II was a remarkable exhibit
tion, and Burke got the cheer that he de.
served.
