trey were on thhd and second, but they
died there, ais Currier retired the side
on a gr0spder to Heath,
All the honoYs for the victory right
fully belong to Thomas, Montpelier's
southpaw pitcher, who made the remark
able record Of fourteen strikeouts and
allowing bnt four scattered hits. His
team made eight errors behind him and
only his consistent pitching kept God
dard from hitting the ball AT all, when
men were OH bases, saved the day for
Montpelier Time and again Goddard
had Hlen on third and at second when d
single or fielding error would have
meant one DIT two runs, but it was then
that the sonthpaw took no chances and
retired the side oh strilseouts.
In the seventh with Shaw st third and
Berry All second with no one out, Goddard
had its best chance 0f the game to score,

Thomas. who threw i little wide of first,
and the haseman stepped oil his bag,
giving Shaw his base 1T then looked
IL though the break was due, but Berry
famed ana the catcher dropped the ball
and threw to third al Harrison had
started for that base. Harrison went
back To second and Berry, who was out,
neealessly ran down To first and fooled
Foote. who was running for shaw, into
running down To second and was touched

d nv into the second baseman's hands
and he muiFed If. Heidel was next t0
