The birds flew back to Burlington last
night, heralding the first defeat the
Eagles club of that city have suffered
this season. fter the trimmings they
received yesterday afternoon at the ltal.
ian Athletic ball park at the hands OF
its owners. The feathered players were
the means of the home team adding
another chapter to their long book OF
victories by score of I to 2. The
crowd in attendance was Uniform with
the usual mid-week games and, there
fore. the interest lent TO the exhibition
lacked that of the week end contests.
Following its regular custom, the
home team jumped on the opposing
pitcher and played the game out of the
danger zone. When the initial round
was closed, four l. A. c. men had made
the rounds. Until the seventh inning,
the Eagle club seemed to be in reach
of the coveted prize, but in that inning
the home boys strengthened its lead
by adding two more counters.
Beaton was sent to the firing line
bv the management and was in remark
able form, striking out ten men and
passing but two. He was touched up
for six hits, but those were so well scat
tered that they didn't figure in the
score getting. Munson, the old st.
Michaei's college pitcher, New York
state Lacquer and who has been affiliat-
ed with several bush leagues in his ca
reer, was on the peak for the Eagles.
The big Burlington man has lost his
old time effectiveness, but managed to
keep the total of hits registered off him
down to ten. He struck out nine and
passed three.
One unfortunate accident of the game
came in the fifth inning, when Comoll,
the reliable backstop of the Athletics
was forced to retire from tie game with
badly bruised finger on the throw,
ing hand. Comolli has been bothered
to great extent of late Y It'll the mem
Der and it may be two weeks before the
big fellow will be able to don his uni
form again.
The fielding of both teams was very
dead the chances offered to the fielders
gave no opportunity for brilliant play
ing.
David opened the first inning with
a double to right, advanced to second
when Calcagni was thrown out by the
pitcher, scoring on Rivers error of Wits
grounder Comolli reached first when
the visitors made an unsuccessful effort
to throw out CAL at second. Bottigi
hit to center and Witt counted, ComollI
going to third, and Bottigi went to Sec
ond. Both runners cross.i the pan on
Tonazzi's bingle to center.
The visitors registered one tally in
the second. With one down, Munson
was passed, stole the middle station and
took third on the catcher's miscue.
Burke's scratch hit sent Munson in with
the run. Again in the next inning the
Birds tailed. With two out, Hanley
scratched hit to short, purloined the
second base and the terminal on Me-
Kenzie's hit to left.
In the fourth act series of three |
hits annexed one more run to the count |
of the l. A. c. In the seventh the |
last two of the local teams seven were |
enacted. Bottigi hit to center and took
third on Tonazzi's wallop to center
Williams reached first on scratch hit |
down first base line, filling the bases. |
With the infeld playing in close, Beat
on hit savagely to second, resulting i
in an error for Mckenzie, with Bottigi |
and Tonazzi meandering to home. The
score:
