Also Erred Occasionally.

| A travelling band of fence busters from
| l.aconia, n. H.. took fall out of the
Barre Athletics at Goddard campus Sat
urday afternoon before large half-holi.
| day crowd, and when the curtain had
finally dropped on the last inning OF
a wel-waged contest, the nomads had
| the victorious end of to decision.
Except for two innings, when the Barre
outfit played like an aggregation of hired
farmhands, it was one Of the snappiest
games OF the season. Tommy Davidson
did the hurting for the home boys while
the opposing pitcher, also young in years,
answered the call to Lougee. The lad
with the tongue-twisting name had the
better Of the argument, although David :
son pitched in good form during seven
innings.
The Belknap county boys probably
have the best claim to real speed Of any
team that has visited the campus this
year, Several fast semi.pros. in the
lineup, with a sprinkling of eN-leaguers,
combined to make their playing snappy,
and pepper was the aggregation's long
suit In the first session when they
started to corral talhes enough to in
sure victory, Bryant, the first man
up, was, fortunate enough to draw d
ticket, and from then on to the last
man out il seemed easy enough for them
to salt away four runs. The Barre team
played fast ball in spurts. Luck broke
well for the visitors. and this was an
element that combined enough with mis-
cues and off-color twirling to bring about
defeat All the way from the second
inning to the seventh, things worked
smoothly for the home talent and If Da-
wilson could have STAYED off the big
wat-fest of the seventh, the outcome
might have been more pleasing to the
spectators.
To man up tree, Lougee seemed
to have little enigmatical to the ordinary
batting eye; but somehow he managed
to place his twisters just around the
corner. from everybody'r bat, and the
interested reader who scans the dope
sheet will learn that only four safe
ones were garnered from his delivery.
Two of these were singles one a double
and the first one, a sizzling liner that
raced the entire length of the field to-
the banks and Melted Hiram" Johnston
four bags. After the fourth round. the
young Laconia slabster was invincible,
although the home lads pushed a pair
of counters over the rubber on errors
in the seventh.
A pass to Bryant, McPherson's single
and boots by W. Johnston and Mute We're
responsible for the getaway lead Of the
first inning. For the next five innings
all New Hampshire men essaying TO
connect were disposed of in quick sue
eession. The climax to this process of
by the ne-two- three order
came in the sixth, when Mute. Stuart
and Taplin pulled off one of the pretti-
est doubles seen on the hilltop in some
time. Jarvis shot a safe one to 81 i.
low left and Cleary followed with roll
er to Mute, who felded and played sec.

Stuart's reliable wing did for the former

The brilliant crimping act did not APP
pear to presage an inning of glooms, |
but in the very next chapter the guests
Of the afternoon fell TO with swift ven
geance and tore off homer, two dou-
bles, and pair of singles from the
brand served up by the disconsoate T. d. |
Five more diamond artists qualified for
registrations during the fray.
Facing a four-run lead, the local swat
ters came to bat in the first and made
the game appear at least sociable by
securing a triangle of tallies. Mute sent |
an easy one to short, but Stuart got
ssfe on an inshoot that rested for mo-
ment on his person as it sped past to
the catcher, while Bill Johnston received
