His old baseball friends in this locality
are not surprised to see Ralph Shaw OF
Bethel make the Vermont Varsity in
his first year. He has played in the field
and at irst bag, and is now covering

has not lost its cunning, either.
James c. Ball, catcher on the Boston
National baseball team, has been sold
along with a fielder to the Memphis,
Tenn, baseball team OF the Southern
league, but the management OF the Bos-
ton team has kept string on him so that
it may have him back in the fall. Ball
formerly caught for the Intercity team
and recently married a Montpelier girl.
Larry Gardner has left Burlington for
Boston, where he will join the Boston
American League team. Gardner will
probably be carried with the team as q
substitute iniielder and will, no doubt be
given opportunities to work out as many
players are being injured on the team. II
is said that Gardner would like to try the
outfield but the Red Sox outfield is espe-
eislly strong this year.

The Vermont academy and VerRennes
high school defeats of Burlington last
Friday and Saturday has put that school
out OF the race for her percentage falls be-
lew the others. Montpelier seminary de.
feated Burlington easily enough in the
asst game but has lost by large scores to
the local high school who makes no claim
for the honors. Goddard stated last Fri
day that she had played Peoples acad-
envy under the schoolmasters' rules but
players from that team stated to re-
porter OF the Argus Saturday that they
have not played this season under the
schoolmaster regulations. On good au-
thority the reporter was informed that
Vermont academy played the same game.
therefore, Goddard gets back to the old
position that Burlington high school is
the only team under the regulation it has
played. Two members of the Schoolnlas-
ters' club have stated to the reporter that
they fail to see where Goddard has any
claim to the championship and do not be-
lleye the honor can be decided as there
are so many complications. 1t is case
OF where several schools may claim the
honor but cannot prove il.
