VERMONT BEAT HOLY CROSS
Vermont Team Showed up Strong
Again Saturday

Worcester, Mass, April 21.-- The
strong University of Vermont team
defeated Holy Cross yesterday after
noon on Fitton field by score of 7
to g. The game was rather slow and
almost devoid of features with the ex-
ception of a neat double play in the
second inning by Winkler, Halstein
and Dowd. At all times Winkler
seemed to have the home team under
his control and kept the five hits well
scattered. A number of Vermont
rooters were on hand and their support
was most gratifying to the visiting
team. Amid the noise was easily rec
ognized the hearty voice Of Jimmie"
Reed. former football captain at the
Green Mountain college.
The change in the Vermont batting
order apparently worked to good ad-
vantage. The game opened with
Murray on the mound for Holy Cross,
but six hits were made off him in
three innings and he was replaced by
Gilmartin.
