Barre A. c. Defeated 10th
Cavalry, 9 to 7
IN A HARD HITTING GAME
Honus Wagner Mute, the Shortstop Re-
cruit Of the Local Team, Was the
Heavy STATESMAN, Getting
8 Hits for 9 Bases,

After receiving a terrific Around lac
ing from the Tenth Cavalry team at
Rangers field Saturday afternoon, the
Barre Athletics rallied in the fifth by
pushing five runs over the plate and
finally put the game on ice to the tune
of o to I. 1t was weird contest in
which good, bad and indifferent play by
both sides followed each other in dizzy
succession. The last five innings, how
ever, saw the locals settling down to
more uniform work and with the ter
mination of the fourth, when the col
ored men reached the rubber four times,
the Barre team seldom allowed any
thing that resembled score.
Scampini was on the firing line for
the home team, and although he pitched
;neffectively at the outset his arm APP
parently grew stronger as the game pro-
Qressed. Ragged fielding support in the
earlier innings also nearly disappeared
during the last half. Thompson essayed
TO pitch for the soldiers but was chased
to the outfield in the fifth after he had
crowded the bases in the fourth with
passes and allowed four hits in the fifth.
Tucker, who followed, had little to Of
fer and was frequently found for safe
ones
Even though the game Jagged in its
first stages, the fifth inning squirt OF
the locals instantly revived interest and
from then to the finish, the tension es-
tablished by closer score never les
sened. Rather, excitement grew upon
.he crowd and hair-raising features ike
Fowlie's foul catch in the eighth and
GabeIloni's stab in the same round,
trimmed the rough edges of the earlier
innings. Among the swatters, Mute, the
Young recruit at present holding down
shortstop for the locals, was the one
radiating star of the day and his time
w cIouts into every section of the gar
den were responsible in no small meas
nre for Barres victory. Three hits for
a total of nine bases are credited to
him.
The locals gave Mistah Thompson
hint of tire drubbing that came later
in the first inning. Clapp led the list
by drawing pass and pilfered the sec
and sack. Wright flied out to left and

the fore in the second inning and gent

Of center and crossed the pan for
homer with time to spare. The next
three men went out in succession.
In the fourth inning, Tucker passed
up three men but neither Johnson, Me-
Kenzie nor Fowlie could spin thread,
johnson fouled out to catcher, Mcken-
zie famed and Fowlie lifted an easy
fly to left field.
The two scoreless innings following
the second ended in the fifth by an en-
thusiastic batting bee of the old order
and before the side retired, five runs
were added Gabelloni drew a free one
and was sacrificed to second by Clapp.
Wright sent small roller into the CEN
ter of second base which no one seemed
ready to field. Tonguay followed suit
by placing safe one in left. Seam
pini also drove safe one up the third
base line. scoring Gabelloni. With a
man at every station, Mute, the hard
hitting shortstop, again banged the ball
high and far away, this time for a
three Dagger into deep left field. Three
runs resulted and the same Mute tickled
his toes on the pan minute later, when
johnson slammed double UNTO center.
The next two men failed to keep the
pace and the swat fest was over.
With the score tied at 7 each in the
seventh round, Tonguay singled to left
but was caught at second. Seampini got
life on Patterson's error and scored
