Latter Team Shy of Its Regular
Battery
AND SUFFERS AS A RESULT
But Visiting Team Was Real One Ind
Played Good Ball--Score Was
to in Favor of the
Visitors.

Another real baseball team came t.
this city yesterday under the guise o
a New York state summer and wintel
resort club. The Saranac Lake baseball
team had little difficulty in disposing o.
the local Italian Athletic club by scort
of to ! at the new grounds Of thu
athletic club of Berlin street. The New
York state aggregation is composed o
college and preparatory school players
who show the effects of excellent coach
ing and play with vim. Their victory
would not have been quite as deeisiy,
but for the disablement of few Of this
Barre players, including thSSr battery
Weaferi and Comolli. In order that
the team might assume some of its rea
strength, the battery of the Barton state
champions were imported. Laird was
on the knob and twirled good game
He was connected for nine hits, but these
were punched, enabling the Lakers u
pile up four earned runs, the other two
were the result of errors. Laird's rum
ming mate, the old Dean man, was as
sistiug him behind the bat. His mighty
whip was a menace to the visiting base
runners In the person of one Gayley,
who is said to spend the greater part of
his time at the university of Pennsyl-
vania. the Barre fandom cast their eyes
on about the coolest pitcher seen here
this season. To the crowd, his form
was not Indicative of masterful pitching,
but his underhand bali had the local
lads guessing always. The fielding fur
nished but little in the way of sensa-
tions. Witt, the former Goddard man,
accepted five assists in very clever
manner. Several of these were difficult
running pick-ups. Witt also led his team
with tho willow, starting the going in
the third inning in which the !. A. G.
made their only score. Dimmick, the
Dean pitcher and outfielder, was the
stellar wielder of the mighty ash during
the afternoon. He found Laird's Blenders
to his liking and smote the pill nightly
every time up. In the fourth he cracked
the horsehide to deep center, the bah
Just clearing the fence, emitting him to
a home run. Again in the ninth, he
tagged one of Laird's offerings for ride
over the right field fence for two bases.
With a vengeance. the New York
skaters landed on Laird rounding out the
first innings with two dots tabulated in
the run column. Stafford patiently
waited for free ticket TO the initial
sack, took second on Torney's hit to
left Both runners were advanced on
] ee's sacrifice. Mclaughlin, the clever
i..st basemnn of the visitors. was there
with solid crash to center for two
sacks, sending Spafford and Tormey in
ahead OF him. Laird frightened up and
struck out Weseott.
In the third inning, the local team
registered its only tally. Witt tripied
TO center, but was caught at home on
Comolli's felders' choice, stole second
and took third an Stafford's error. Bar
rows double scored Comolli Things
moved smoothly until the fourth, and
then the visitors rolled in two more
runs. Wescott, ef football fame, drove
the ball along first base line for two
bases and scored when Witt threw wild
10 third in an endeayor to stop the
third baseman from making three bases
IN the hit. Dimmick accounted for the
other run this inning by slashing the
ball over center field fence. In the fifth
-un. No. ) was brought in by Stat
ord for the Saranac team. He singled
20 left. purloined second and slipped
n on Giacamuzzi's miscue. The last
counter of the game came in the last in
