SHUT OUT BY CoLLEGIANS
University of Vermont Men, Mostly Var

ming, to o---Weaferi Got Ragged
Support at Times.

Nearly 1000 people saw team styled
the Green Mountain Athletics, composed
largely of varsity players from the uni
versity of Vermont, Burlington, waltz
serenely away with a game against the
Italian Athletic club at the Berlin street
grounds Saturday afternoon to the tune
of 6 to 0. 1t was an exhibition game,
pure and simple, mechanical perform
ance with the fast travelling team from
the state university surprising the Barre
team at every turn. Jake Malcolm, the
Vermont idol, and considered almosa
without peer in the ranks of college
baseball, passed them over for the coll
legians in the first four innings. NAL
colin allowed two hits. one a sizzling
grounder through second and the other
of the abbreviated variety He was sue
ceeded by Winkler, who never once al
lowed the Italians a look-in and famed
eight men.
Neither Malcolm nor Winkler worked
himself to capacity, the former content
ing himself to keeping the strikeout
record down to five, while Winkler also
seemed to look upon the home team as
soft picking Joe Weaferi was on the
elevation for the Italians, and all things
considered, he did himself proud. Until
the sixth inning, he kept the hits down
to two, and was serving up variety
that the Vermont boys found hard to
fathom Ragged support. however, final
ly comprised his downfall, and with the
bases two-thirds full in the sixth, Joe
sent big one to Mayforth, who landed
on it for four sacks. Weaferi famed
four.ssnen and kept the hits down to
seveh.
Several choice contributions fsom stars
on both teams kept the exhibition from
becoming stale and desultory. The Ital-
ians pulled off couple of double plays
that added to the pleasure of the contest,
and in one of these ,Bottigi the Italian
diamond sharper, was the principal. With
Berry on second in the second chapter,
Mcdonald lifted a fly to shallow left.
Bottigi the wing footed one, gave chase
and finally effected seizure, only after
completing three or four circus revolu
lions and an ostrichlike dive in the
burning sands. He recovered his eqni
libriuni and folded the ball to Giaca
muzzi in time to catch Berry.
Wee William Maiden, the little man
with the big stick, had more than
speaking part in the slashng speciality
of the visitors, and twice did the former
Spaulding boy collide with Weaferi's
hotshots for safe ones. Maiden's mann
moth bingled to the centerfield boards for
three bases in the ninth brought his
teammates another counter and paved
the way for No. G. Dowd, the nifty
Vermont shortstop, dented the pill for a
double and triple and acted as though he
could have partaken Of the highland far
away kind oftener had he wished. |
Dowd's three Dagger in the eighth opened |
the way for one of the fastest relay /
throws to third ever seen on the Berlin !
street arena Scampini recovered the |
ball in deep left and passed it in to |
Witt in time to nip the fleet footed Dowd |
at third. The outfielders on the invad-
ing team had little to do, as the ball |
strayed from the diamond only once,
then IN the fifth when Mcdonald pulled /
down Wits high one with apparent !
ease.
Mayforth furnished a splendid exhibit /
tion at hackstop. He made other catch

al Berlin street look like novices The
premier Vermont catcher fielded the ball /
like lightning and operated wing that
wrought havoc with the /. A. c. base
runners. Tonazzis catch in the fourth
and Wits consistent work at short were
about the only other features of the
game.
Dowd broke the game open in the
fourth, when he sent the leather to lef3 I
for double. Jock Grow laid down d
pretty sacrifice and Dowd came to the
plate on Mayforth's safe one to left.
Berry and Mcdonald were put in the
discard pack when the former poked a
