score Of s to l. Eyen at that, there is
no desire to belittle THE work of Laconia.
The visitors really played splendid
game and deserved the victory, backing

Brown threw tie saIivaFy spheroid

when hits meant runs lie had the local

went for eauglt except in Ahe first inn-
ifg when Barre Montpelier scored its
only run on Murphg's single, Monahan's
sacrifice and Harris corsing two-bagger.
Only twice after that did the locals
eudhnger the game for Laconia. One OF
shese two occasions was in the fourth

The eighth was nightmare for the
league leaders. Laconia got but three
hits in the inning, but three errors by
the locals enabled the visitors to stretch
what would have been two scores into
five. Shaw was out, Monahan to Shea,
but Brown made his second hit. Alcott
