Frigid zephyrs that blew across TIN
seminary campus yesterday afternoon
chilled nearly 800 spectators to the mar
row, while the Barre Athletic club wor
in its first game of the series with tn.
Berlin IN. H. A. G. The tabulatec
score recorded to 2 win for the fast
travelling Barre bunch. The freezing
temperature did not in the least detract
from the zeal of the players, who per
formed as creditably as if the weather
were more suitable for baseball,
The game was of addedfinterest to the
Barre following, due to the initial ap-
pearance in a Barre uniform OF Gay
the young Randolph southpaw. The
rangy youngster has all the earmarks OF
a star and yesterday, although trifle
wild. held the hard-hitting New Hamp-
shire lads at bay. but four hits being
corraled off his delivery.
The second inning staged the brace
of runs scored by his opponents when,
with the bases full, clean single to
center by Munson produced the counters.
Gay pulled out of this situation by fan
ming Mcpherson and compelling Bracket
to hit weakly to second. Five innings
saw men on the last cushion, but the
,portsider on each occasion pulled out
safely. His wildness assured the Berlin
lads the first station seven times.
The manager of the visiting team per-
.mitted Palmer, an old Burlington high
school pitcher, to appear on the hillock.
He passed through the first inning, but
I'm the second chapter his desire to rise
ito the dizzy heights rewarded him with
Ia place on the bench. Charles Bernier,
lwell known in White mountain summer
baseball circles, took up the reins when
eone man had counted, one man had been
retired and the hassocks were all popu
lated. His start was pyrotechnic. The
first two ash wieIders fell before his
unerring .spitball The next inning was
not SO blissful. The Barre clouters con
centrated its forces and bombarded for
three registrations. After that the al
legged big Lacquer was not proposition
of difficult solution.
The afternoons entertainment was in
terspersed with brilliant fielding stunts.
A couple of clever double plays were
executed, one by the Barre lads and the
other by the visitors. The Berlin outfit
pulled off its play of double fatality in
the opening session. Davidson was on
first and w Johnston raped seething
grounder to second base territory. Vance
scooped the ball, tagging Davis on his
way to second, and then heaved the ball
to first for the completion of the play.
The two-ply putout by the local team
came in the last inning and dispelled all
hopes of the visiting team registering. |
Harris, who was batting for Powers, was
ticketed. Vance then raped long
skier to Mckenzie. Mckenzie backed
up and made a sensational catch of the
ball, falling backwards after catching the
ball Harris stood halfway down the
cinder path and slowly trotted back to
first. Oblivious OF the ball being re-
turned to catch him off first, he was
given the surprise of his existence when
he saw the ball resting in Stuart's hands. /
In the second inning r. Johnston was
given free transportation to first bass
and took second on wild pitch. He
scored from the middle Sack on Stuart's
hit to center. With none out, Barre was
unable to count further in this session
Vance was passed in the third inning
Bernier breezed Wilbur. attempting to
sacrifice, scratched hit. Pease was
ticketed, filling the bases. Munson then
