Tackle Norwich.

/
Goddard semiuary's baseball team left
at II 40 o'clock this forenoon for North
field, where the first game of the sea-
son was scheduled to be played with
Norwich university at the Dog River
Valley fairgrounds With weeks out
door practice and an all-spring training
in the gymnasium, the boys were all
as fit as a lock and confident that they
would lead the collegians "a swift race
for the decision. According to plans
this forenoon. Peterson was to start the
game for the locals with Angel behind
the bat.
Coach KurtZ accompanied the follow
ing men to Northfield: Captain Me
Icay, Manager Pattee, Angel, Peter
son, Martin. LeCasse, Witt, Bishop
Craig. johnson, McIver, and Hayes. In
addition to the strong nucleus formed
by the presence OF several of last years
star players, the lineup reveals a coterie
OF ball tossers hailing from many Sec
ticns. Peterson, formerly first string
twirler on the Shelburne high school
team, johnson of Littleton, n. H. high
school, and Hayes, a one-time box ar
tist at Montpelier seminary and port
wheeler, are ell new members of the
Goddard outfit They will do much of
the pitching for the hill team this year.
Angel of Hardwick, catcher
ranked among the best secondary school
hackstops in tie state, and Martin, who
performed a star part on Rochester high
schools diamond last spring are also
among the acquisitions. LeCasse, the
fast hockey player from Rock Island,
L. O., came to Goddard this year with
reputation as an infelder and during
tie few weeks Of practice he has am
ply justified the claims made by his
friends. Another new infiedeF, Witt,
comes from Winchendon. Mass high,
where he played an outtield position
last year, Seminary fans who have
watched his work out say that he will
be prominent factor with the stick
AID in the fell this year Bishop, who
covered acres OF ground in the outtield
for the Gospel village Blue Sox last year,
is one of the fastest garden men at God
dard. He will bear watching.
Spauding high school held its first
practice of the season yesterday after
noon at the trotting park and about fifty
candidates responded to the call Of
Coach Edwards. The prospects for
good team arc very bright as they
lost only a few players by graduation
last year. The only places to be filed
are one of the infeld, one OF the out
field positions and new man viii have
to be developed to fill the pitchers box
70. this twirlers Sprague brennan and
Williams appear to be the most prom
ising brennan, who is a southpaw,
has good speed and curves and with lots
oi work should prove To be as valuable
n man as has performed on the mound
for Spaulding in the last few years.
" iiliams who will be of more value in
tn, infeld, will alternate with brennan
in the box work.
Milne. who caught a good share of
the games last year, will probably be
on the receiving end of the battery when
the sea son starts. Others trying for
the ehatchers position are Aver. Grady
and Birnie. Hagan, who played first
l,ast for last years team, is again try
ing for the position as are Aver and
Grady L. Tumasi, Ogsten and Farrell
are fighting it cut for second base. Far
rell is new man in Spaulding. He
has PLAYED at sbortstop for the past few
years on the johnson high school nine,
aud was considered one of the best ball
players in Lamoille county. IT is like,
L, that the scloolmastars' rules will bar
hin from playing this year. Stuart, /
who has PLAYED a star game at short
stop for the past two years. will I'M
douhtedly NOT be ousted from his place |
Douglass and S2wles are also trying for |
this position Williams and Mcdonald I
