The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1911-06-17
High School Boys Lacked Wig
orous Action Throughout
AND COULDN'T HIT WELL
On the other Hand, Goddard Batted Cut
Ter Hard and Showed Disposition
to Force Matters at Every
Turn Of the Game.

The preparatory school baseball sea-
son in Barre came to a close at the
campus yesterday afternoon when God
dard seminary defeated Spaulding high
school The seminary pill chasers
flooded the plate with six runs and
allowed the high school boys only one
lonesome mark in the run column
Earlier in the season the two teams
contended with each other for nine
innings, the game finally ending in a
break on account of rain Hence the
contest yesterday was eagerly antiei-
pated by the followers Of both schools.
Goddard displayed better fielding
ability in many departments. while its
slab artist, Lee. managed to keep his
opponents at bay in every inning and
famed twelve men Spauldings lack
OF initiative and energy, a character
istic more or less manifest all the sea
son, was never more marked than yes
terday There are those who believe
that the high school has team SUI
perior in many respects 70 some of
is yanquisbers; but the inability TO
oct the jump on opponents has only
too frequently been her undoing
IN yesterdays game, the seminary
oct in its first deadly work in the Sec
cnd inning With mae down, Craig
sent swift roller into left field that
promised to net him osly single
Group, however, passed the bali mp, al
lowing Craig to reach second Priest
followed with = strikeout, but Scott
sent the horsehide spinning swiftly in
10 center for single, scoring Craig.
Mcleay ended the round by fouling out
10 White at third
The next round saw the seminariaHs
rapidly filling the bases at every OPP
Fortunity, and II Is rather remarkable
that only one run was tailed Louis
led off bv weakly pushing grounder
20 Cutler, who folded it perfestly to
first. Richardson singled to center, and
reached second on Lees bingle into the
same region Tinkham sent swift
grounder 10 Cutler, who felded to third,
but White mulred the ball and both
Iinkham at first and Richardson at
third were safe Williams drove a rol-
Ter To Williams, who choked Richard
son at the plate, making two men
out Lee came in for the second
tally moment later on Craig's line
drive into left With a man at every
corner OF the diamond. Priest laid an
easy one in front Of the place, Smith
fielding IL perfectly to first, retiring
the side
The fourth round was especially
marked by heavy swats and before
tile reign OF terror was over a pair Of
runs had been added to Goddard's col
umn. Scott started ont with a two
dagger, but was caught at third, Stuart
to White, when McLeay was safe at
FIRST after hitting the pill to shortstop.
Louis was the second man to take
the count, hitting an easy grounder 10
Hagan McLeay completed the circuit
when Richardson slammed a double in
to left field Not TO be outdone, Lee
followed his teammate 10 the rubber
and dumped triple into center, scor-
ing Richardson
The method Of getting the tallies IN
lunches or armfuls grew popular with
Goddard and In the seventh another
pair was added to the collection Rich
ardson got bad start by flying out
TO Troup, but Lee connected with the
bali for double Tinkham also
dumped the ball into THeup's waiting
lunch hook Williams sent the leather
through Hagan at the next turn, al
loving Lee to cross the basin. The
next man up, Craig, shot a swift
grounder to White, who fumbled and
allowed Williams to tally The in
ming closed when Priest laid down an
easy one to Cutler
The run that saved spaulding from
an inglorious shnt-out was pushed
across the rubber by Jackson in the
seventh. Smith started the round by
diving at first, Lee to Tinkham. Jack
son sent Texas Lacquer into left and
stole second In later attempt to
pUrloin third, he nearly lost his life,
but Scot shot the ball over Richardson's
head, allowing Jack to reach third
He came in for the Triumphant tally
few minutes after when kenetck sent
roller to Lee, who fumbled long
enough for Spaulding to register ITS
run In the meantime Hagan had
famed, and Troup, following suit a
moment later, retired the side. The
score:
