q So
feated Barton. 2 to o.
Recently, the Barton baseball team
which had scalped everything in north.
eastern Vermont, having won IS out OF p
games this season. asserted its claim to
the independent championship Of all Yer
mont, and announced its willingness 10
I defend the same. Now the Randolph 5.
BIS. have been doing some pretty good
work this season, having beaten every in
/ dependent team they have met, with a
record OF IL wins out OF IL games. But
the team disbanded five weeks ago with
out expecting 10 play again, and the men
were scattered. However, Manager Sails
burys ardent nature couldn't quite let the
challenge pass unnoticed, so he wrote the
Bartonites that we could plsy ball "somen
down here and that possibly a game
might be arranged to determine who had
the better claim TO the championship.
Barton replied iavorably and the game was
arranged for last Saturday at Barton, way
up in Orleans county, near the Canadian
line.
II was intended to play the same men
that lowered Woodstock's colors Aug.
18th, but Fitzgerald, the catcher, missed
his train connections at Woodsville, and
Joe" Goodhart couldn't leave his work
at Dartmouth, so Goode went behind the
bat and O'Shea to short. 1t made no ap
the team, either way.
The Randolph players had TO leave here
on the night trai1, and what with the
hard trip, the lack OF recent practice and
being on strange grounds with nobody to
root" for them, all forecasted trouble
But 1t didn't come. Randolph won the
sharp, spirited contest, closing out its /
rival 2 to 0. Barton had TO renounce its /
claim TO the state championship, which 4
gains.
The shining feature OF the game was the /
star work OF both the pitchers, especially
Thompson, who made the remarks BILE
record OF striking out eighteen and allow
ing but a single safe hit Barton Just
couldn't touch him. Bishop, a reputed
Eastern League twirler, whose home Is in
was also very effective, allowing
but five bits and striking out i3. In the
Held the teams played about alike The
lay was rainy, the ball wet and the at
not large.
