crossed the rubber, while only one Rut-

home team did not have ghost OF a
chance to win against Barre Montpelier
with Sheldon in the box. All that they
could do with the visiting twirler
was four scattered hits, while four Of
them struck out. sheldon was also very
steady, giving one base on balls. He also
bit the ball himself, getting two safe ones,
including double. O'Bnen for Rutland
was touched up for eight hits which would
win most any game Capt Morgan Of the

oomfture By rapping out three safe
drives

pected defeat, as well as the crowd
Hatford at short had more work cut out
for him than he could do and slipped up
twice In a fashion that was costly. on
the other haud the visitors supported
their pitcher magnihcently, the only err
ror being credited TO Burke on first base.
The home team was allowed a hit on
0' Hara's drive which Stewart misjudged,
and there was no error
The home teams solitary tally was
made in the fourth, and they were CRATE
full for that. After Stewart had misjudged
@ Hara's fly and the runner had taken
second, Brown hit to sheldon who retired
the runner at irst but O'Hara went to
third, Dun then sent out long fly to
center and OiHara scored on the out.
There was nothing more doing, however,
as Morgan gathered in RobeItston's fly.

ease and IN the eighth gave pretty exhi-
