IN AN INTERESTING GAME

six innings, during which he held the
strong university of Vermont second
team to one run and two hits, one of
scratch order, Davidson, the stellar twirl-
er for the B. A. c. team, weakened, and
the lads from Burlington fell on him for
five hits and slowed the game away by
scoring six runs in the seventh and
eighth innings, making the final result
4 to 3. Chilly weather held down the
which was played at the Granite City
trotting park, a strong wind blew across
the field from the west, making the play
ing conditions not of the best Outside
OF the fatal seventh and eighth innings,
Davidson held the college lads well in
hand, tanning seven and not giving
single pass.
Zwick the former Vermont academy
star and who has performed in several
games at Vermont in the past two years,
was on the firing line for the Burlington
lads and made very favorable impress
sion with the spectators. He had won
derful control, issuing only one free
pasteboard in the entire nine innings.
He held the Barre sluggers TO five hits
and nine of them went to the bench after
his excellent curves and speed had com
PEELED them to fan the breezes.
Mute, the clever shortstop of the b.
a. c.. aggregation, covered himself with
glory. When Mute cracked out his long
three Dagger in the fifth chapter, he
scored two of Barre's three runs. This
hit carried as far as any hit that has
been seen at the trotting park in the
last few years, the ball sailed far over
the head OF Gilbert the left fielder of
the visiting nine, and Mute had no trou-
bic in reaching the third station. In
the third session, Cobb, the first man up
for the university lads, met a straight
one on the nose and sent il on line to
left field. The smash looked good for
at least a single, but Mute ran back a
few steps, then leaped in the air anu
brought the liner down with his gloyeu
hand. 1t was a fielding stunt that Dor
dered on the sensational and came IN
for a long round Of applause.
r. Johnston, who has covered the left
garden for the home nine since its organ
ization, made two pretty catches: one Of
them was in the fourth, when he came
tearing in from deep field and took a
Texas Lacquer back of shortstop and by
4 throw to Taplin caught Maiden be-
fore he could get back to first, thus com
pleting double play. Taplin, the new
first sacker for the local ball tossers,
played q good game, breaking into the
hit column with two safeties, one being
a double.
Maiden, the former Spaulding high
school star who is a freshman at Yer
mont, covered third for the college lads. |
He accepted the only chances that were
offered in clean manner. At the bat
he was connected with the horsehide for
! single and figured in all the score get
ting. Standard and Flynn also were in |
he Iimelight for the visitors, the former
showing great speed on the bases and |
lying the score in the seventh by com
ny across with timely bngle that I
scored two men, and the latter hit safely /
vice
The visitors were the first to score, i
me run going to their credit through the 1
ocals' miscues. Maiden reached the in /
tial sack when Lascor allowed his |
yrounder to get away. He stole second I
md went to third on a wild heave by /
Davidson. Davidson threw Zwick out at /

The b. A. c. bunch evened up matters
n their half of the same inning after

doubled along left field line and scored
when Standard dropped Lascor's liner.
7owlie was safe at first in the fifth,
7arre dropping a good throw. Davidson
ent him to third on a well-plaeed hit to
eft. Mute then came to time with his
ong triple over the left fielder's head,
ending in two runs.
At this stage of the contest, it was
generally conceded that the game would
nd with the Barre aggregation on top,
nut Davidson weakened in the seventh

cached first, the result of Nute's error,
ook second on the wild throw. He was
