Caused Loss Of Saturdays
/, Game to Montpelier High
BOTH PITCHERS HARD HIT
Spaulding Played Sleepy Game and
Disappointed Their Supporters by
J Indifferent Playing at Most
Stages of the Game.

Montpelier high school again admins
tered a trouncing to Spaulding by tax
ing Saturdays game at Intercity park
& To 4 IL was the second time this
season that the locals lined up against
Montpelier, the latter walking away
with game several weeks ago by
7 to 4 score. To those OF the fans who
have witnessed the locals start in to
play with spirit and determination to
win. the affair Saturday was somewhat
of a disappointment.
The first inning saw Montpelier push
ing four runs across the plate and al
though the scoring thereafter was kept
within reasonable bounds, the play at
all times was indifferently fair. Spots
here and there in both the out and in
fields revealed Spaulding men playing in
a lackadaisical, half hearted way. Cost
ly errors and faulty base running were
the usual order and altogether, it may
he said that the locals made the poorest
showing of the season
Pitching honors between Cutler and
Pane were evenly divided. The former
had all kinds of speed and with proper
support would have won his game. Pape
was rather freely hit at times, but Tor
tunately squeezed out or more than one
hole through Spaulding's inability to
advance runners from base to base. The
Montpelier twirler was also an impor-
tant factor in the hitting, touching his
opponent for three safe ones for i've
bases. Hayden, Ballard and Pape ac-
counted for eight Of the twelve Mont
pelier hits.
The work of Williams, Stuart, Troupe
and Hagan was snappy enough at times,
but the lack of life evident in Others OF
the team was always too contagiously
near for safety. jackson, Stuart and
Williams cornered most OF Spaulding' 5
hits, although Kenefick got away with a
two. Dagger in the ninth that paved the
way for two runs.
4 batting picnic for Montpelier in
the first inning was the first indication
of Spaulding's coming defeat With one
man down, Pape lined out double and
presently scored on Smiths two base
slam into center. Hayden next lifted
Texas Lacquer into right, tallying
Smith. II. Laird followed by laying
down pretty sacrifice, pitcher to first,
which advanced Hayden to third. The
latter scored moment later on ball
past Jackson at backstop Bartlett next
sent a grounder TO second that Kenetick
failed to field and scored from second
when Ballard singled to center. The
picnic closed with Gisborne's strike out.
Just to show that the thing could be
repeated, Montpelier carried out another
successful bee in the eighth and the To-
calls helped in the celebration by gen
erously sprinkling the round with two
errors. Bartlett started obviously of
BY sending a slow roller to Cutler, who
folded it perfectly to first. Ballard,
however. dropped a safe one over into
left and purloined second. Osborne
famed and j. Laird lifted a high fly
that everyone expected would fall into
Brownies glove. The unexpected hap
pened, and Ballard tailed Sherburne
connected with the pill for two bases
at the next turn, advancing j Laird to
third Pape sent grounder to Stuart
who made a poor recovery, allowing
Laird to tally. Sherburne was out at
the plate on the next turn and ended
the inning
Williams hi-seeted the rubber for
Spaulding's first run in the opening
round. He singled to right and stole
second. Kenefck next drew a free one
but was caught mapping at the first sta.
ton by the wakeful eye of Pape. Will

third on a passed ball by H. Laird and
scored when Stuart lifted a safe one
to center. The latter stole second but
was caught at the plate by j. Laird
who folded Jacksons single to right

when Hagan rolled grounder to Sher'
burne. who fielded perfectly TO first.

Stuart got life at first on Pape's wild
throw. jackson slammed the ball tc
Osborne. who muffed and Stuart went
to third, scoring when Hagan grounded
out, Sherburne to Ballard The side re
tired on Ogston's strike-out.
In the ninth inning. the locals gave
their opponents brief scare but .

double and went third on Sherburne'i
mseue of Stuart's error. The former
scored from third and Stuart cam,
around home from first on Jackson:
clean single to left Hagan dropped 4
slow grounder along the third bast
line and was safe at first. Jackson at
tempted to score on the play and wat
caught at home, Ballard to Fl. Laird
in the shuttle. Hagan essayed a stea
second but was caught on a close de
cision, II. Laird to Bartlett. All sign
of victory disappeared when ogston hi
