Exc" johnson from down in Maine,
the new acquisition to the Intercity
team, was peppered and pelted ii rude
fashion at the local park yesterday af-
ternoon BY Rutland, while his support
was boyish in spots. The Marble Cutters
had 40 difficulty in winning the game, 6
TO 2, az the locals ccnldnt do much Of
anything with WiItse's lcft.handcd
lifts.
Exc had no trouble in locating the
plate. The trouble was that he located

the groove directly over the center Of

good speed but that was just what the
sluggers from Rutland were looking for,
and their drives were long, clean swats.

The locals started the game in Grip
pied condition and they ended up in
worse condition. Eaten, just recovering
from an injury, got in the way OF Duff
who WAS sliding home and was knocked
out 20 completely that he had TO leave
the game, Daniels being called in from
left field to 70 behind the bat Burns
took the sun garden after that. Nc
Mahon hobbled about in the right cor

his condition worked in one pretty catch,
stabbing d ball with one hand as il
sailed over his head, labelled for two
bases at least. Williams made one beau.
tiful one handed scoop 81 hot shot and
got his man at first. Deininger shone for
Rutland with pretty running catch in
left center, cutting off an apparently
sure hit. Collins, Shean and Bagley
worked in machine like double-play
that spuifed out the aspirations Of the
locals.
Two two-baggers were responsible for
the two tallies by the lntercity, McAia-

The visitors punched hits in the frat,
third and seventh, SCORING one, two and
two runs respectively In the second
they were aided to score by Johns6n's

other mistake in, the seventh when he
attempted to break Bruces leg with q
fast shot. The Rutlanders avenged the
insult by driving in two runs, Deininger
hitting for base and Duff for three
bases. After his performance Duff went
up and shook hands with lady friend
in the grand stand and then struck out
when he went up to the bat next time.
In fact, WiItse struck out also in the
same inning, which, together with Bag
ley's failure to hit the ball in the fifth,
made three strike outs for johnson.
