IN THE TENTH STANZA
WITH SPAULDING HIGH
An Exciting Contest Staged
on the Seminary
Campus

school team and heady base running DS
Shortstop Witt, enabled Goddard to wiz
the decision over Spaulding on the sem
mary campus yesterday afternoon in the
deciding game OF their annual series and
wrested away all claim of the Spauld-
ing aggregation to the state intersehol-
astic championship. The final score was
to 6, but before the decision was
reached it was necessary to send the
game into an extra inning, In the sixth
inning Spaulding succeeded in bringing
the score to even terms. and during the
rema inder of the contest the score stood
8 to 0 with both schools fighting grimly
to assume the lead and it was not until
that fatal bluIbder of Capt. Levin's that
the outcome of the game was certain
In this session, after one man had been
retired. Witt was served up four wide
ones and then stole second base. Witt
tried for a delayed steal He moved well
down towards third and drew a throw
from Catcher Levin. Witt headed for
third which he would probably have
made anyway. But Levin's throw sailed
over Second Baseman Willey's head into
center field. Fast recovery and return
of the ball bv Brown to home was flu
tile and the result was inevitable. Witt
crossed the plate with the run that
crowned the seminary team with the
laurels of the day.
One of the largest crowds that ever
gathered on the seminary campus to
witness school game was in attend
ance. The game was truly a champion
ship contest in every sense of the word,
furnishing heart rending and nerve rack
ing instances during its every stage.
Both schools were represented by large
contingent of rooters who managed to
keep excitement on edge throughout.
The fielding of both schools was rath
er ragged and many of the misplays fig
ured in the run getting. Spaulding both
outfelded and outhit the seminary. God
dard made six errors and Spaulding but
five. With the willow, Spaulding stood
higher. walloping out seven safeties CON-
pared to their six. Capt. Peterson, who |
has not been in good form for the past
month, owing to lameness in his pitch
ing arm, undertook the task of leading |
his school to victory, and did himself |
and school full justice. His control was |
excellent and he managed to worm out |
of several bad holes, after he had con-
fronted trying circumstances.
Tomasi, the high schools best bet, /
once again covered himself with glory. /
and with the exception of the second
and third innings he was always mas
ter of the situation Barring those in

Spaulding Scored Early.
Spaulding waded into the tallying col
umn in the initial session with brace
of counters. Sector, the first batter of
the inning sailed a clean single into cen
ter field. Hooker laid down neat bunt
and reached first when Merrill dropped
Peterson's throw. In an attempt to
catch Sector on second base, the ball
rolled into center field. Bishop hurled
the ball over LaCasse's head endeayof-
ing to head Sector off at third Sector
scored and Hooker perched on third.
Levin was passed and purloined second.
A hard drive by Brown into left field
scored Hooker and Levin made third,
Brown taking second ON the throw-in.
Further scoring this session was of no
avail as Peterson pulled himself togeth-
or and caused the next three batters
TO be retired on strikes.
Goddard Evened Up
Goddard came along and evened mat
.ers up with the high school in the sub
