Tomasi Was in the Box and
Did Good Work for the
Down Town Team

Good. bad and Indifferent baseball char
acterzed the opening game of the sea-
son at Goddard seminary yesterday aft
ernoon, when the hill team was humilat-
I'd by the l. A. c., with a to 3 de-
feat. The game was terminated at the
conclusion of the seventh inning, when
the Indicator holder resolved that the
horsehide was indistinguishable in the
oncoming darkness.
The game was the first opportunity
the baseball enthusiasts of the city have
been favored with for chance to size
up the rentive merits of both the clubs
and the impression on the 200 fans was
that there was little doubt that both
the Goddard nine and the Italian club
are represented this season by promis-
ing combinations.
Ragged playing streaked through the
afternoons workout, but the brilliant
intervals of play more than Offset the
dement's. The work of the outfeld of
both teams was especially worthy OF
favorable comment, while the infields
were endowed with plenty of vim and
snap, which eventuated in many in
teresting and spectacular plays. Ricia-
relli and Bottigi, left and center fields.
respectively, for the Italians, contributed
sensational running catches. Rieiarell
pulled down one long fly while running
at top speed towards the left field fence
Bottig yanked two seemingly safe lin
ers out of the air while travelling at full
speed Farrell and Bishop for the sem
mary covered their positions with ac
curacy and cleaned up all that came in
their territory.
The fielding of Lacasse at third for
Goddard featured the work Of the in
fields. This diminutive third sacker was
the human target for the bullet drives
of the Italian clouters. His aggressive
ness gathered in about everything with
in his reach. He was charged with two
excusabe mIsplays.
"Toney' Tomasi, the Spaulding high |
school student, was arrayed on the |
mound for the Italian A. c. and his |
performance covered him with glory. 1t |
was the first appearance OF the young |
ster in an Italian uniform and with /
the exception of the first inning, he /
proved an enigma to the Goddard bat
tiers. He was touched for five hits which |
were well scattered, two Of them com
ing in the initial inning before be found |
himself. After the three runs had been
negotiated off him in this session he
settled down and famed the two subse-
quent batters and was never scored on
again. During the seven innings twelve
Goddard opponents suecumhed to his be-
wildering curves, the list including all
but two of their personnel Peterson,
the Charlotte HEAVIER, was doing duty /
for the seminary lads. He was a triie
wild, but he succeeded in holding the
yictors to three hits.
The scoring opened in the initial in
ming, when both sides scored three tai
lies each. Davidi the first man up for
the winners, ambled to first on a free
pass. He advanced to second when Mer-
rill muffed an infield throw of Bottigis
grounder Both runners advanced an
other peg when Merrill juggled another J
infield toss. Comolli grounded out to
short, but during the interim, David and :
Bottigi hit the rubber, Scampni, who J
had made his way to third during the !
upheaval, beat his way home on Soldini's !.
sacrifice fly to deep center field. !
Tomasi passed LaCasse, the lead off :
batter of the seminary. Tomasi fooled ,
Farrelps bunt, both runners being safe :
LaCasse made the slab on Kurtz' hit
Comolli, in an attempt to catch Farrell J,
mapping, threw wild to third, allowing 7
Farrell to score. Witt came to time d
with a double, scoring Kurtz. This end 9

session saw the Italians augment their
score by two runs. Tomasi was passed "
up and by bit of fast sprinting. made 9

field. Davidi went to third on the throw J
to catch Tomasi at the plate and scored
4 minute later on a passed ball In the
third inning Scampini reached first on
LaCasse's error and stole second. He v
