Bartons S, st. JOhnsburys /.
With the memory of two defeats at tn
hands of the Barton team fresh in hi
mind Laird went to the pitchers DO
Saturday and showed the fans what h
could do. He held the Barton boys
whose long suit has been their sticl
work down to four hits, besides striking
out six in the course of the game, Not {
man received a base on balls and thu
only thing charged up against his RECORD
was hitting one batter. But good as
this record appears, Bishop, the old
Lacquer, sent to the firing line by Man
ager Aldrich of the visitors, proved just
a shade better, allowing the locals three
lone singles and tanning seven. He also
sent one man to first by hitting him
with a pitched ball. A glance at the
error column will readily explain the
difference in the score. With the support
the locals are capable of and have in the
past put up, the game would in all
probability have been a 1 to 0 victory
for the visiting team. Both teams were
weak at the bat, Hale of the locals being
the only one on either side to find the
ball more than once. Heath and Bishop
each cracked out two-bagger, Heath
starting the game with his, and Bishop
fired the parting salute with a screamer
to left field fence, the longest hit of the
season.
Heath started with double to center,
Carr fumbled it on the return, and he
kept on to third. Barrows took the
count, Berry sent a single to right,
scoring Heath. Webster sacrificed,
Winslow was safe on a wild throw to
first, and Berry tailed one, Laird
caught Winslow mapping for the third
out. In our half Carr scratched one by
third, and stole second. Peck sacrificed
and Carr was safe at third Richards
sacrificed and Carr registered st. Johns
bury's lone tally. Lynch was out, Heath
to Berry.
The next two innings brought forth
nothing of interest to either side. Berry
started off in the fourth with a scratch,
Peck fumbled Kearn's throw, and Web
ster was solid at the first station. Berry
reached third, Winslow famed, and
Berry made good on Richards throw to
first, scoring the third one for the
Bartons. Martin was out to Carr, and
Webster was asleep at the switch.
Nothing doing on our side, and the
nothing doing" sign was out until the
eighth.
In the eighth, with one down. Berry
was hit by a pitched ball, and was safe
at second on Websters scratch by short
Winslow flied out to Hale. Martin sent
one to center, which Woods juggled
while the runner was making half the
circuit, and during the excitement Berry
crossed the plate with another tally.
Robinson finished with singer to Carr,
which was handled perfectly to Peck.
Three up and three down for the locals.
Heath made a mistake and sent one to
Kearns, who sent it across to Peck, and
then came Bishop who gave Laird a
great surprise by getting the best hit of
the season. Heath singled to right,
Barrows sacrificed and Bishop made the
last score. Berry famed st. Johnsbury
made a game rally in their half of the
closing chapter and succeeded in getting
a man as far as third base, but there he
remained. Hale was first up and he
made his second hit of the day, pretty
single to center. Carr sacrificed. Peck
was out to Lewis and Hale stole third.
Robinson spoiled Richards long drive
and the game was history.
The score follows.
