the week and have attracted much
favorable attention
After two defeats at the hands OF the
Hanoverites, St lohnsbury finally won
a game from them, Saturday, by the
score Of 9 TO 8. 1t was loosely played
game all the way, but the close score
kept the fans interested. Jacobs started
to serve the pellet for the visitors. but he
was found wanting In the second
inning a single. double and q triple,
and in the third another two Dagger and
two singles were registered of his de-
livery. As bingle after bingle scared out
towards the willows or the fence a
worried look began TO replace the con-
hdent smile on his face and after two
and a halt innings OF the unmerciful
slaughter had elapsed Captain Dudley
sounded the stable call for the cadet He
was replaced by Bud Hobau OF the
famous Hoban Brothers combination,
and two tallies were all the locals found
after MS entry. AS regards the eight
scores allowed Hanover it is true that
St. Iohnsbury's Il errors were partly
responsible but it also is true that Laird
was batted quite freely and at times
when hits counted.
