Hits Locals Hit Coakley for
Seven Score S to 2.

Paddy Duff's warriors from Rutland
were given another shove down the tobog-
gan shute by the Barre Montpelier com
bination yesterday afternoon, in one Of
the best exhibitions of baseball that the
home team has given The score was five
to two, and Rutland may count herself
lucky in getting those two. With the
single exception Of the opening game, the
largest crowd OF the season was present,
the enlarged grand stand and the bleach
ers being packed and the late eomers 0c-
cupying standing room wherever they
could find ii. The game was easily the
property Of the home team, although the
visitors did try to snatch it away ia the
last inning. The nine men on the team
played magnificent game, in the field, at
only two misplays in the whole game BY
Barre Montpelier, aud both those were
perfectly excusable. In the ninth Stew
art dropped fly after long run aud in
the third Poland failed to field a single
which McAahon landed in his territory
allowing Mcmahon to roost on third. But
Poland was not responsible as the ball
took an ugly bound Just as it got to him
and wentto one side, rolling into the row
Of teams. Both Stewart and Poland made
up for it,however, by making star catches.
Dorman, the stocky short stop, featured
himself with handsome catch of Ken
nedy In the second inning. Kennedy
knocked tiy into left that was apparent
ly safe. D0Tman was after Ii like a flash
though, aud the ball landed on the tips OF
bis fingers and stuck there The catch
was little short OF phenomenal, and Dor
man got the applause that was given him
Nash behind the bat put up his best
game of the season, aud made rings all
around Paddy Duff. Rutlaud's catcher
Nash gobbled up three high fouls that
most catehers would have dropped, and
il was in large measure due to him that
Bobby Dresser pitched so remarkable
game.
But four Of the visitors connected with
the ball for safe ones. Four Of them
Ianned the air and not one was given a
free pass to first on balls. Dresser hit
one batter. He tielded his position per-
feetly, with four clean assists and one put
out, and put the finishing touches on
splendid record by whacking out single
in the eighth, scoring McEnany Through
out the game he held Rutland safe.
His opponent in the box, Coakley of
Holy Cross, pitched creditable game, but
was found for seven hits, two Of which
were contributed by Poland, two-bagger
and a single, Coakley was not so steady
as Dresser giving three bases on balls.
he also lost his temper badly at the um-
pirs.
Coakleyis supportswas wretehed on the
part of Saunders at short. Kennedy ard
Saunders exchanged places and the former
also made one misplay in the position.
Capt Duff contributed passed ball also.
Brown at third put up star game.
The first bit of the game came In the
second when Dorman walked to the plate
after making his great catch and slammed
the ball into right field for single. There
was nothing doing, however, as McEnany,
the new man, struck out and Burke
grounded to first The unfortunate play
OF Pnland's landed Mcmahon on third III
the next inning. Saunders was out on a
grounder to Burke, and then the crowd
howled over MeMahons being run down
between third and home when he tried to
score on Coakley's grounder TO "Jimmie'
Morgan. While McMahon was being put
out, Coakley took second and scored soon
on O'Hara's single. Cotter was hit with
the ball, but the home team squeezed out
of hole when MeEnany retired Brown,
on an assist to Burke.
Although Poland doubled in the third,
the home team could not score In the
fifth Rutland went into the air and Barre
Montpelier crossed the plate four times.
Saunders fumbled Dresser S grounder, and
the runner took second on "Paddy's'i
passed ball Saunders lost POland's
gr0under, and with two on bases Stewart
dropped safe bunt inst over the pitch |
er's head. Dresser chased himself id. |
Nash was declared out at first on an OK. |
tremely doubtful decision by the umpire, |
Poland and Dresser advancing Apperious
hit to Kennedy who decided 70 take Saun-
ders position. and Poland was out on his |
dash for the plate, Jimmie Morgan
planted the ball between Robertson and
Saunders. and these two WORTHLESS watch |
ed the ball scoot through. Stewart aud |
Apperious didn't wait for formalities but /
went home. While Robertson aud Saun- |
ders looked foolish at each other, Morgan /
went TO second. Dorman sent one careen- |
ing down the third base line and Jim |
mie'' tailed. There we're four scores and
enough to win the game
Add one more score to the home teams
credit, and that was the end for them 1t |
was made In the eighth COakley issued /
q pass to McEnauy and Burke advanced
him on a pretty sacrifice, Dresser sent a
liner past first, and the new man scored.
Rutland made a brave but futile attempt
to ward Oft defeat In the last inning, Cot
ter knocked a high.0ne to center field and
Stewart dropped 1t after hard try. Bob

been doing ANYTHING with the willow came
