Green Mountain Athletics at the Der
lin street grounds Saturday in the most
notable game of the season. Victory
: for the Barre braves involved a hun
dred and one comforting features and
the fact that the uphill struggle waged
by Pitcher Joe Weaferi and his team
mates had an to Tissue in their favor
was certainly not the least of these.
First of all, the large end of the score
for the Italians meant the defeat OF big
Jake Malcolm, touted as one of the king
pin boxmen among eastern colleges. But
that Wasn't all, for back OF the peer
less Bridgeport youth was a double
quartet of FASTENERS that have lately
met and conquered some of the fastest
collegiate outfits that New England
boasts. Then, too, it meant that George
Winter, the former Red Sox scout, Amos
Mayforth, catcher from the ground
up and even Wee Willie Maiden, the
home town boy who thought to aid and
abet his teammates in vanquishing the
Berlin street tosseEs, it meant that this
galaxy of stars in the baseball firma-
ment had to drink long and deep from
the cup of defeat And everybody knows
that this selfsame trio likes defeat none
too well. albeit tho We're ever good los
ers and game to the wire.
A record breaking crowd for Rangers
field was out to see the go. The royal
rooters, for such they were almost to
man, were augmented in cheering the
favorites on to victory by the stonecut
ters' band. The musicians had a tier
of seats in the grandstand reserved for
their own use and at frequent intervals
through the ten delirious innings they
filed the June air with melody. The
Green Mountain boys were late in reach
ing the field and it was only through
special dispensation from Steve Colby
and his Central Vermont railroad that
the invading forces were able to disem-
bark at Berlin street around $3.50 o'clock
Weaferi and Malcolm had it out about
evenly. OF course there was hideous
eruption of Green Mountain tallies in
the opening canto and it made everyone
nervous to see those husky coIlegians
stroll up to the plate and slap the front
al elevation of the ball for two and three
sackers. 1t looked like an era of soft
picking for the Burlington crew all the
way through and when the majority
reached the figure five at the end OF
the first half, there was enough and to
spare of gloom in the /. A. C. camp. 1t |
was downright aggravating, but Weaferi /
persisted in smiling at the antics of his
fellow countrymen on the other side, and !
well he might, for his hour of reckon I
ing came later.
The game abounded in fielding features
and there was such a sprinkling of hard
hits that fans who watched the game
from afar, afar meaning the improvised
grandstand back of the center and right
field fences, thought the Italians were
another occupation of
Tripoii. Which isn't to say that all the
heavy stuff was perpetrated by the home
boys. Oh, no, for moments contempla-
ton of what happened in the first in
ming is convincing otherwise. In a nut

Or after the first and grew steadily
stronger Jake Malcolm pitched twenty
balls in the first three rounds and grew
steadily weaker. Stellar performances
