Goddard Defeated the Visit
ors z to A Saturday
Afternoon
KEEFE PITCHED WELL
FOR HOME TEAM
Game Was Played Rather
Listlessly Before Small
Audience

For the second time in season, God
dard has triumphed over Hardwick acad
envy on the baseball diamond. Satur
days brush at the campus had TO
elimination, and although the hill team
led not all the way, the outcome was
almost inevitable for the visitors from
cross country were away off color when
compared with their opponents.
| Perhaps because the game was booked
| for o'clock instead of the favorite
Saturday hour, at 3. there as only a
handful of spectators present, and as
the get together developed few startling
features the enthusiasm seldom ascend
ed to dizzy pitch. 1t was not de-
sultory contest; neither was it all to the
swift, Certainly no one suffered from
heart failure as the result of diamond
wizardry.
Little David keefe, promising
Marshfeld boy, did the hurting for the
home team, and against him were pit
ted brawny youth named Batchelder
and a second-string pitcher Mcleod.
Keefe was one of the heroes, ii the
game really had such story-book char
acter. For a STRIPPING he pitched re-
markable ball against the husky com
pany from Hardwick and except for a
bad spell in the fourth he had things
his own way. Batchelder famed ten
men. but unsteadiness forced him to re-
tire in favor of Mcleod in the seventh.
A couple Of tallies were scored off the
latter's delivery.
Both sides felded we'll but the semi
narians displayed more fnesse and UNI
corked enough pepper at times to show
up the work Of their opponents in a
rather disparaging light. Bishop pulled
down a pair of pretty ones in center
field, thereby atoning for his hopeless
performances at the bat. As was to
be expected, Witt furnished fine fielding
features and Keefe also folded his posi- /!
ton well. For the invading school boys, |
Sylvester was easily the first choice. |
Mcleod with clean homer and Sylves- /
ter were the main factors with the stick /
for Hardwick. Feeley and Cosby slapped |
the ball right smartly for the hill peo-
pie.
Goddard started scoring in the first,
when Farrell drew pass, Lacasse a
life on Batchelder's tumble and Witt a
bingle. Ii was an inning of ragged
work on the Hardwick side, and the
less said about it the better. Batchel-
ler's disposition to be wild was never
more apparent than in the fifth. when
.wo passes and costly error by I.ameri
we're directly responsible for three more
COUNTERS. Lacasse and Feeley clustered
! pair of singles in the seventh that
ietted another run, and the last ONE
anne in the eighth, when Tierney hit
afely to center and cantered home on
nexcusable plumbers around the Hard
wick infeld. II
MeLeods four-sacker netted the first
lardwick tally in the second. With {
wo men down in the fourth canto. II
.ameri hit safely to left, Shepard drew
free one and Batchelder was safe on
'arrell's miscue, Lameri scoring. Shep- Q
I'd and Batchelder tagged the fourth /
tation by virtue of Blasall's sizzler to a
hallow left. In every inning thereafter. '
he visiting team was retired in order. /
