In Two Innings But Wherry, Who
Replaced Him Pitched Excellent

Plattsburg's pitcher Matthew more
than made up for the several defeats he
has suffered at the Intercity park this
season at the hands Of the Barre Mont
pelier leaguers by pitching the Twins to
h standstill in yesterdays game, and
winning his game in walk, to J. The
heavy hitting locals made only three
scattered hits off Matthew's superb
twirling and had II not been for an er-
ror in the fourth which started the
Twins only score. the New Workers
would have gone home with whitewash
To their credit. Matthew gave four bases
on balls but three pretty double plays
by the rest Of the team brought him out
Of the holes.
The visitors got their grasp on the
game in the two first innings when they
pounded Perley Thayer for six hits that
Melted four runs. Wherry replaced him
in the third and pitched an excellent
game allowing but three scattered hits
for the seven innings, and misplays in
fielding by Sanders gave the visitors
their last two runs in the sixth. Matthew
struck out only one man during the
game, but the locals couldn't drop the
bali into safe territory, and their OPP
ponents took everything that came their
way in the field.
Hartford started the game by rapping

ball into centerfield for single and
Hartford scored Lowry getting to

Three singles In rapid succession by
Lowry, Matthew and Sullivan scored
Hartford and Lowry. In the sixth the
visitors got only one single oil Wherry,

Sanders got on first and second on an

M ing. Henry Chadwick. a writer

old, but so hale and hearty that he gets

his days work grinding out copy on

Father Chadwick still takes an inti-
