The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1909-04-10
BRIGHT OUTLOOK
AT GODDARD
Base Ball Candidates Are Showing Up
well--A Hard Schedule Is
Arranged.

The schedule presented by the God
dard base ball manager this year Is
kone of the best that the school has ever
had. Believing that Barre fansD like
to see a good contest instead Of a walk
over. Manager Wellmen has arranged
games with only the strongest school
teams. Most Of the games are with
academies. semiuaries and college clubs
Burlington high school being the only
high school on the list st. Aichaers
college, university Of Vermont 2nds and
Norwich Ends win be seen in Barre for
the first time in a number Of years. while
the Norwich varsity will be met at
N0rthfield III the first game since 1905.
Peoples academy and Vermont aeade-
my are also coming 70 Barre. The lat
ter has not been here in base ball for
at lease ten years. v. a. slways has the
best school team in southern Vermont,
and Peoples academy is the best in the
northern part. Last year ?. A. was the
only school team to win a game from
Goddard.
Goddard has only one man Of last
years team left. In most schools this
would mean an inferior team but the
outlook is far from discouraging The
boys have been practising in the cage
since the tenth Of March and for the
last few days have been ont on the COM
pus. Scampini and Smith will take
care Of the box in good shape Wishart
who played such steady game last
year will look after the third corner.
Shina. who Is acting captain, win prob
ably be seen at short Moore, who was
such a strength in basket ball. and lee
who played with Irasburg last summer,
will fight 1t out for second. The first
sack looks pretty good to Boynton, Cros
BY and Cowles, and each one il desirous
Of capturing it. Berry and Sector have
had considerable experience in catching
and that part Of the battery work viii
be well handled.
With Spaulding, Chappell, Titus, Rich
ardson, Hayes, MeIyer and the disap-
pointed candidates in the infeld TO se-
leet from good ont6eld ought to be
developed Coach Hubbard Is working

Manager Wellman hopes 60 have
bleaehers built on the third base line so
that everyone who comes TO a game can
have a seat. The policy Of last fall I
win be continued, and no one win be
admitted to the games without q ticket. /
The games viii be called promptly at the /
time advertised and will be run off quick
". Every effort win be made to please
Ihe crowd ard to present some fine games I
rs the management believes that such |
Efforts will be appreciated and that the
games will be wen patronized In the
past the games with the Montpelier
schools have been the most profitable
but the association IS doing
we'll without them, as all bills contracted
through the year have been paid, and
t IS expected that base ball will pay
ior itself.
