University, 10 to 9
WINNING N LAST OF NINTH
Both weaferi and Keegan Were Hit Hard
and, in Addition, They Were Poorly
Supported-visitors Complained
or Poor Umpiring.

II took the Italian Athletic club ex-
actly two hours to take the measure Of
the Norwich university baseball team
Yesterday afternoon at the Rangers field
and when the Mortified lads motored
off the field they opined that the losing
end of the game had been handed to
them through the medium OF lneom-
pctent umpiring. There were several de-
cisions rendered by the Indicator holders
that were very close. Soldini scored the
winning run in the ninth inning with
none out, making the total stand 10 to 81.
The game was one of the most ex-
citing held at the Rangers field this sea
son and was hard fought down through
every inning, both sides anxious to an
mex the victory, and hardly close deci-
sion was transmitted that passed criti-
cism. The fielding of both combinations
was weak, ragged and loose, nine slips
being charged 10 each.
Joe Weaferi, the Athletics, most reli-
able pitcher, was located on the peak for
the Barre team during the nine innings,
but was not in the best of form. While
he allowed eleven hits, he passed three
and succeeded in retiring but five on
strikes. Keepan, who hurled for the
N OrWlcn IedID, was Nhutbth up tNHoANNi-
ably, his splitter having no effect on
the home batters. In the third and eighth
innings he was scored on seven times,
the result OF as many hits and few
errors. Outside of these innings he
pitched in good form and kept the hits
of the T. A. C. scattered
The Norwich team was the first to
score. in the opening session. Murray
singled to center, stole second and came
home when Giaeamuzzi fumbled
ODowd's grounder. In the third the
local team tailed thrice. Tonazzi was
given his base on balk, went to third
when Keegan slipped up on Caleagnis
grounder. Weaferi hit to left, scoring
Tonazzi. Calcagni made home when Bel
yea permitted throw to pass through
him, the ball rolling away from third
base line. Keegan, who was after the
sphere, picked it UP and heaved it wide
at the catcher and Weaferi slipped home.
The home club added one more counter
to its score in the fourth Parkman mis-
Judged Davidi's long drive and 1t rolled
for three bases, on which Tonazzi scored, |
after reaching first on an error by the,
shortstop. In the fifth, three consecu-
tive hits Melted two runs for the Nor
Wlcn team, iHdklHB Tue Scuie sIdhu "
3 in favor of the /. A. C.
In the sixth inning the total of the
local team swelled to eight. Williams
doubled to right took third on Belyea's
error of Tonazzi's grounder. David hit
a liner to shortstop, who scooped it up,
tagging the runner advancing to second |
from first. Calcagni scratched hit |
along first base line and Williams went
home Weafer reached first on Bur
wells error. A three Dagger and single |
furnished the rest of means for the addi- |
ton of the four runs.
The Mortified team scored twice in |
both the eighth and ninth innings, so /
that at the opening of the last round |
the score stood Q to 7. With two down

second as O'Dowd reached second on
Wits error. Munsell scored Belyes on
Texas Lacquer to left Old doc"
Whitney came to time with slashing
drive to right sending O'Dowd in with
the tying run. Maynard's best effort
was to hit weakly to the pitcher. With
some hope of victory still left, the visit
ors took the field for the final half of the
ninth. Soldini sent liner to left, took
second on Keegan's error and scored
on Tonazzi's Lacquer to center. The
score:
