BARTON CHAMPIONS
Win Deadlock between Barre and Bar
ton Monday at Barre.

AS scheduled, Barton's crack base
ball team went to Barre Saturday to
play off the rubber game between the
Barre Italian Athletic team and bar-
ton, each team having won a game.
The game was a fast and exciting one
but neither team YVES able to down
the other and the contest was called
at the end of the eighth inning on &C.
count Of rain and darkness, the score
standing four and four as scored be-
low. This of course only deepened
the rivalry between the two teams
and it was arranged to finish the con-
test Monday afternoon. Most of Bar
toms team remained over until Mon
day and on that day some 25 or 80 of
Barton's fans joarneyed to Barre to
root for the boys. And it did the
| business least Barton took the
game with comparative ease by the
score of to g. The winning Of this
game gives Barton the state cham
pionship of independent teams and
Barre readily comedies and admits
that Barton can play ball after all.
In Mondays game Barton scored in
the first and so did Barre, but Barre
was unable to cross the home bag
again until the last of the ninth while
| Barton got man across again In the
second, fifth and seventh, thus TAX
ing the lead in the first and keeping it
throughout the game. AS the score
shows Barton outfelded and outbatted
the Italians. To give our readers a
little of the dope handed out by the
local papers on the game we quote:
Barton lived up to its reputation
of being bunch of scrappy ball play
ers that would never say die. and
after being let down with three little
hits Saturday, came back yesterday
and hit Olseni hard. In the field they
showed their hand, nothing was toe
hard for them. Taking the three
games played here by them this year
they have proved their right to the
, title of the best all-round team in the
l northern part of the state.
Heath, the shortstop, and an ole
Goddard man, carried off the honors
in the hitting line, getting three ou
of five, one homer. In the field he
also put up swell game and savet
many hit for Smith by one-handet
e jabs. T. Lee in right probably
