The VictorS Landed on Cutler
Early in Game
AIDED BY POOR FIELDING
Montpelier Got Lead in First Few In
nings Which Spaulding Boys Could
: Not overcome-Nice Playing by
Spaulding H. S. Infeld.

Reasons without number might Ae
ascribed for Spaulding high schools de-
feat at the hands of Montpelier high
yesterday afternoon at Intereity park
by 7 to score Costly errors and
ineffective twirlng by the usually con-
sistent Cutler were partly responsible
for the outcome, but many who wit
messed the game are inclined to be-
licve that something besides the weird
brand of refereeing exhibited at times
by Umpire Buck might have brought
about an even break or at least a
harder earned victory for the winners
The local schoolboys outhit their
opponents in nearly every inning, and
men were placed as far as second m
six innings In fielding, however,
Spaulding was sadly lacking at critical
times, but the failure to perfectly field
and deliver the balls was largely con-
fined to the outfeld. The infeld pre-
sented a well balanced combination that
merited a victory With better work
ing outfeld long hits netting singles
and two bases would have become put
outs. Williams at third and Stuart
at shortstop accepted many chances in
big league style, and a better throw
ing pair is seldom seen in interscholastic
baseball. Jackson at backstop, caught
everything coming his way and also
figured prominently in the hitting
Browne. in the right garden, broke the
monotonv of Indifferent outRelding in
the fifth by pulling down Laird's high
fly with one hand
SheTburne, Pape and Bartlett were
the heavy swatters for Montpelier and
cornered six of the nine hits credited
to the winners Pape pitched consist
emily and famed nine men Sherburne
was the only shining light in the Mont
pelier diamond and he covered the
ground to the left of second
Three of Montpelier's scores came in
the first inning Sherbmne slapped
out a two-bagger after Smith had sent
an easy grounder to third and had
died at first II Laird followed Sher-
burne by flying out to center, but Pape
get life on 0gstons error, Sher-
burne scoring Kenefick next booted
Bartlett's ground hit and Pape crossed
the rubber for the second run Bal
lard followed with single to right and
Bartlett tailed Osborne grounded
out to Stuart, retiring the side With
run to the good in the third, Mont
pelier punched three singles and a
double and tailed four more scores
Hayden's sacrifice and a passed ball
also aided in the run getting After
this disastrous round, the locals settled
down, and kept their opponents from
further cireling of the sacks
Fighting against a lead Of three
runs, Spaulding made brave effort
to even matters up in the third Jack
son led on with a safe one to right and
stole his way to third The next two
men followed quickly by tanning and
the chances of score grew suddenly
slim Williams, however, drew free
pass and stole second Pape then es-
sayed the dip ball or something in that
direction and presently the spheroid
went sailing past the catcher, allowing
Jackson cheap score. Kenefck next
elouted out high fly to center, but
Hayden muffed and Williams came in
for the second run Stuart retired the
side BY flying out to Bartlett
A lonesome little run in the fourth
brought the total up to four and try
az they might, the Spauldng willow
wielder could not push another tally
over in the five remaining rounds. Troup
lifted out a sole one into center and
stole second, scoring few minutes
later when Cutler showed another single
into the same territory The latter,
however was caught at second Hagan
