DID EXCELLENT WORK.
The College Boys Got Only -Four Hits
Of Fraser and Made Two ScOrss,
While Goddard Tailed Eight.

The base ball season at Goddard semin-
airy opened Saturday afternoon in way
which was most auspicious for strong
winning team for this year, "a team that viii
be Of much credit to the school. Goddard
played her first game with the Middlebury
college team and won a decisive victory
over the college players, by good all around
playing. The score was 70 ,. The large
crowd 0l base ball enthusiasts who wilt
messed the game were loud In their praise
of the work OF the home team and most
enthusiastic over the prospects Of the team
for the season.
The nine played the game ID manner
which speaks we'll for their coach, Can
nell, IN getting them into shape SO as to
bring victory which they hardly dared
hope for The weather has been most un-
satisfactory since the team first came out
for practice and the work has further
been made harder by having to break in
new players to I'LL the places vacant from
last year s team. Ia fact the team had to
be practically made all over as there are
only two men on the team playing the same
positions as last year
Fraser who was substitute pitcher last
year, will be Ia the box this year with
more speed ard better control than he dis
played in last years games. His pitching
Saturday was remarkable He struck out
ten Of the college boys, gave two bases on
balls and allowed but four hits, two being
clean and the others of the scratch yari-
ETY. Seayer, who played FIRST base last
year, is catcher and his work was most
satisfactory. He showed ability in iudg.
ing the weak places Of the batter. His
throwing to second was accurate and only
a few times did be fail to nail the run
mer
Pike, at first base, is new man for the
position, but played well, having eight put
outs to bis credit and only one error.
Berry is filling his old position at second
base, which is enough said That position
will be covered and good bit Of ground
around it. Turner is q new man at third
but played his position well, and the
prospects are good that this weak spot on
former Goddard teams for several years
back win be filed this year
Butler, last years crack left fielder, has
been put IN short stop and is proving Just
the man for the place, fielding his position
we'll and doing quick work in assisting at
second base. Clark at left field and Blake
at right are both new men but are doing
good work. Cannell covered center field
to perfection taking in several long fiys in
nice shape and doing great work at the
bat. He made four hits in four times at
bat, one being thTee-bagger.
The game, although rather one sided,
was nevertheless made interesting by the
brilliant fielding and hitting Of the home
team. Saaver, the first man up In
the sixth inning, sent the first bail pitched
over the right field bank for home run.
Three base hits we're made by Cannell and
Fraser and a two base one by Seaver.
Middlebury went to bat FIRST and sue
ceeded In scoring once through a bit and
an error by Goddard, and scored once
more during the game in the fifth inning,
again oceasioned by errors on the part Of
Goddard. Fraser tied the score In the
first inning by getting to third on a three
base hit and coming home on single BY
CannelL
Ia the third inning Goddard added two
scores Berry got first on single, stole
second and third and came iR on Seaver's
| lily to Shanahan who muffed. Seaver stole
second aud scored on Cannelrs hit to
right field. In the fifth inning God
dard scored once after two men were out.
Pike and Clark both famed. Berry
got first on a slow grounder TO third, stole
second and while stealing third the catch
er threw wild and the runner scored.
TIE next inning two scores were added
through home runs by Seaver and single
by Blake to right field, Blake scoring on
wild throws 20 secoud and home.
In the eighth Goddard came in for two
more, through two base hit by Seaver
followed by three base hit by Cannell
and a single by Turner,
After the game 4. B. Dodge invited the
team down to his restaurant for treat Of
ice cream.
