Game, Won by Former
HEAVY SLUGGERS AT WORK
Montpelier Team Played Very Erratic
Game in the Field, Which Largely
Accounted for the IS to 3
Score Against Them.

The grounds at Intercity park, where
the Goddard Montpelier high school
baseball game was scheduled TO be
PLAYED Yesterday afternoon, were found
unfit for baseball, but not by either
management until both sides and fair
sized crowd had gathered. Young lakes
from the heavy rain of the past few
DAYS were found scattered throughout
the field and the greater part OF the dia-
nond was immersed in that allotment
of the rainfall not yet absorbed by
mother earth. So with the consent OF
the managers, the teams lourneyed TO
this city and played nine innings OF I'M
interesting ball on the seminary campus,
The score at the end OF the game was
l3 to 3 in favor of the seminary team
There was no playing through the
contest that was snappy enough to on
set the monotony OF the play The eX-
hibition of ball playing displayed by
the lads from the capital city was a.
poor as has been seen in this city TINS
season. A total of ten miscues were
chalked up against them. The sem
mary boys managed to slide IN their
hits at opportune time and, aided by
the visitors blunders, they found little
difficulty in circling the sacks
johnson, who is considered Goddard
''best bet" was sent to the front by
Coach Kurtz, but the New Hampshire
lad was not even forced to show his
hand. Seven hits were made oil his
delivery, but they were well scattered
and he always frightened with men on
bases. +. Laird started the hurting for
the high school aggregation. and he
collapsed at the end of three rounds,
giving way to his brother, j. Laird,
who stayed the rest Of the contest.
r. Laird, who is better known as 10y
ster." was touched up for four safe
raps, while Goddard negotiated with his
brother for five more. The latter Laird
displayed form in the seventh session,
when he compelled three consecutive
wearers of the red and white to fan
the zephyrs.
Craig, LeCasse and Witt carried off
the honors for the winners and j. Laird
for the losers. Craig connected for
double and a single and LaCasse
slammed out pair of doubles. Witt
was able to round the circuit in the
fourth inning on clean drive that went
over the bank in right field.
Goddard opened fire in the first chap
ter with two runs, which were scored
on one hit, an error by the shortstop
and two passes handed out by pitcher
Laird. Doubles by LaCasse and MeIyer
and error number two by the shortstop
added two more counters to the sem
mary score. Three more Goddard rum
ners treaded on the threshold in the
next round as the result OF three errors
and a base on balls. The accruing score
of the seminary aggregation brought the
total to ten in the fourth session.
Craig doubled and scored on Johnson's
two-bagger to right. Witt brought
johnson to the terminal with his four
Dagger. In the eighth a combination OF
hits and errors brought the final total
of the seminary's tally to thirteen.
Montpelier scored its first counter in
the fourth round, when Bartlett wormed
his way to third, after reaching first on
a dropped third strike scoring on ].
Laird's hit to right. Hits by j. Laird
and Hayden accounted for the visitors
second tally. A double by F. Laird and
a single by Bartlett set run number
three on the Montpelier score sheet. The
score:
