ST. JOHNSBURY s
LITTLETON 2
The All Stars Had an Easy Victory
Over New Hampshire Experts
on Local Grounds Saturday.

Litt1eton did not bring to st.
Johnsbury any such aggregation of
good bali players as Barton did the
week before and they went home
with a score of to 2 against them.
The difference in results between the
two weeks was not entirely due to
the difference in the ability of the
two teams as LIE Vasseur pitched
one of the best games for st. Johns
bury that has been seen on the local
grounds this season and he was CIV
en- excellent support. In seven in
nings only three men faced him at
the bat and in the other two he
brought the number down to low
limit.
The first time St. Johnsbury went
to bat it began the run making.
Lynch, the first man, struck out but
Cummings made two-base hit and
Higgins followed with a one-base
hit which gave Cummings the oppor-
tunity to run home. Carr's fly was
caught and the runner for Higgins
got caught on the third. In the last
half of the second inning Salman
started with two-base hit and LIE
Vasseur followed with a fly which
was caught H. Cummings got a hit
that allowed him to land safely on
the first and Salman ran home. Al
lison gained the first base and adj
vanced Cummings and while Hale
was up Allison made an Intellectual
attempt to steal second and the in
ming was over.
When ST. Johnsbury went to the
hot in In h rd II oln ant -
base hit, Lynch followed with hot
ball which Pitcher Langley could
not stop. Hale got on the third base
and Lynch the second before the ball
got into the game again. Cummings
made a one-base hit and Hale ran
in. Higgins had three strikes and
attempted to get first ahead of the
ball and failed; this gave Cummings
an opportunity to- steal home which
gave ST. Johnsbury another run.
The first score for the visitors was
in the fourth inning. Perry started
with one-base hit and Bruso also
succeeded in getting first and Wig
neault got first base because Salman
was unable to stop the grounder
which was sent out. Lewis made a
hit and advanced all the Littleton
men one base. They caught Bruso
ceeded in getting in while ST. Jonhs-
bury felt pleased over the catching
of Bruso.
In the sixth inning each side made
runs. When Littleton went to the
bat G. Perry made a base hit and
stole to the second and balk by
LIE Vasseur gave him third. Bruso
struck out and Vigneault failed to
get first and while they were catch
ing him G. Perry ran in Lewis
failure to catch the ball stopped
Littleton's opportunity to make any
further scores. When ST. Johns
bury went to bat Higgins started
right out with two-base hit and
Catcher Cummings was put in to
run for him. Carr made a one-base
hit and got to second and Littleton's
failure to get the ball gave Cum
mings a chance to make a lively
sprint and he walked over the home
plate Salman walked to first and
LIE Vasseur followed with hit
which filed the bases. H. Cum
mings was placed on first base by
balls and this forced Carr to come
in and made another score. Allison
flew out and LIE Vasseur got caught
on the third base, Hale followed
with strike out which stopped the
running.
In the eighth inning Littleton put
Vigneault in the box and he struck
out Harry Cummings but Allison
after making three strikes got to
second base before the catcher got
the ball into active work. Demers
who came after Hale failed to reach
first and Allison got to third base
and then stole in on a passed ball.
Lynch struck out which closed the
score making for the game.
The score.
