Intercity Ball Team Won
Great Game
A COAT OF WHITEWASH
Defeated Team Claims That Umpire
Hickman Was Unfair But Ad-
nit Clean Defeat.

Burlington, July l0-The Barre Mont
pelier base ball team put it all over the
home aggregation at Athletic Park, before
$500 people, Saturday afternoon, and
when both teams had registered their last
kicks over Umpire Heckman's decisions
the former had crossed the plate eight
times and Burlington had been blanked.
The victory was elean-cut for B.-M. and
the defeat was crushing for Burlington.
While admitting that they were fairly de-
feated, the Burlington team claim that
two runs at least by the visitors we're the
result OF Umpire Heckman's rank decls-
ion. At the close of the game he was
nearly mobbed, and If the score had been
closer there is no telling what might have
happened to him.
During the game Burlington played IL
men. Capt. Washburn pitched four in
nings, the visitors clearing two home runs,
two bagger and single which meant
four scores. He was succeeded BY Dr..
Lawson in the fifth. HazeIton also retir-
ell from the game this inning, King COM
inc In from center. Lyons played center
part of the time and then Laurence went
to that position from second wnere he had
been playing. Hayes, whose Illness pre-
vented him from playing, took his old POI
sitlon for one inning, the ninth. Hart
man made his temperance at short.
