MISERABLE
BALL GAME
Montpelier Seminary Played

NO QUESTION OF RESULT
Thomas Pitched Good BAN UAtil He Got

port--Heath Had the Goods
ALI the Time.

IF the Montpelier seminary ball team
hadn't been more Or less crippled, its
attempts to match the well-rounded
team of Goddard seminary at Intercity
park Saturday afternoon would have
been Iaughable AS it was, they were
pitiful. 1t was only question Of how
many scores Goddard wanted to run in.
Some Of the free silverites set the score
at their favorite figures Of 10 to |. They
hit the one all right, but discounted
Goddard too much. As matter OF rec
!. ord, Goddard tailed q times. 1t was
the third and decisive game between the
two former rivals, very decisive, it may
bhs said,
Adept at making errors. Montpelier
was a weakIing at the bat, and her pnny
efforts against the mastery pitching
Of Capt. Heath caused her supporters
to groan almost as much as when the
men dropped fly after fly and fumbled
grounder after gounder. Fourteen err
rors agsinst a team may be called tray
cling some, and If the errors of omission
could have been counted with the errors
Of commission, the error column wouldn't
have held the figures.
No wonder that Tommy Thomas, q
really capable pitcher, rather lost bis.
nerve and lobbed EN- over, allowing
Goddard to pile up 4 total Of fourteen
hits in eight innings. Only one player
Oh the Montpelier team does not figure
lin the display galaxyi he was second
baseman Darkee, and he perhaps Is ex-
cusable, as he had only one, chance to-
make an error The three outfeldsrs
were miserably weak, as was first base,
and Bishop at short was 4ar below his
standard. Gadfrey, behind the bat, did
not back up his pitcher any too well,
either. Third baseman Harvey had only
leg and half to stand on.
Montpelier found SO much fault with
James e. Dawson Of Montpelier, the
umpire, that he lacked the job in the
fifth inning, and Allan Reid OF Barre
was called in to fill the breach. NO
doubt Mr. Dawson was little rusty on
some points and he failed now and then
to note che elevation of the pitched
ball. But Montpelier was a beaten team,
anyway, umpire or no umpire.
It would be wearisome to recount tne
details Of the game, so the tabulated
score il appended.
