Defeated st. Anselm's Col
lege for Third Time on.
Saturday Afternoon
BOTH PITCHERS WERE
HARD TO SOLVE
CALI Of the Locals Was Per-
haps Steadier Than Hol-
combe of st. Anselm's

For the third time in two days VIC
tory perched on the banners of the |. A.
Z. at Berlin street Saturday afternoon,
when the local diamond dotters pushed
out OF its st. Anselm's game with a
to 0 decision. Memorial day the New
Hampshire collegians fell before the
home team, both forenoon and afternoon
and Saturdays get together was in many
respects repetition OF the first days
proceedings. The game developed
pitchers battle between Joe Holcomb,
the former Vergennes high school box
man and Cali, the /. A. C.'s new re-
cruit from Lowell and the University
of Vermont. Big Chief Cassidy's braves
put up a grim struggle with the locals,
but superior fielding turned the tide OF
battle away from them.
About the only notable feature OF
the game was the oft recurring spectacle
of three men going out in order on both
sides. Italian fielders uncorked mum
Der of fine feats in the face of a blaz-
ing sun and once In while St An
selm's man would bring the crowd to
its toes with spectacular catch. But
the struggle waxed it's fiercest between
the rival battery men. Call gave the
crowd to understand that he had things
we'll in hand and if anybody doubted 1t
in the least those same doubts were dis
PEELED in the seventh canto, when he
Immediately and easily settled down to
the business of hard pitching, after two
hits had been punched from his delivery.
1t seemed as though CALI delighted in
PLAYING the cat and mouse game with
60 inc ha n
half a show at scoring he straightway
nailed the lid on tight and run making !
was henceforth out of the question.
Joe Holcomb's appearance in the |
arena brought back fond memories of |
days when the eternal city of the OF |
ter creek used to send forth young men |
to battle with older men on that self
same field. Although inclined to be
trife wild, Holcomb sent some sizzling
stuff across the board that the Athletics
found hard to fathom and it is enough |
to say that no more than two of the
home guards were able to connect safely |
with his hot shots.
]. A. G. made its first entry in the
run column in the second. James Gia-
or just plain jim, as they desig-
nate him around the north bench, sent
bounder to third that Bergen couldn't
grasp at the right moment. Ricciarelli
famed, but David drew a pass and
CALI got to first by virtue of another
miscue on the part of Bergen, who un
til the third was stationed at the third
sack. 1t was Laconia Jack Clari who
played the leading heavy part at this
stage, for he strobe carelessly to the
plate and before the ball had got fairly
,ut of Holeomb's hand ii had gone sail
ng somewhere over into left field. Gia
and David cantered home while
he ball was being prepared for a jour-
1ey in. Both reached the station in
ample time. Well, Comolli sent fast
me to third, who put the ball to sec
md in time to catch Clari. Bottigi
AIMED and the inning was over.
The third tally was not only fizzle,
,ut it involved fiasco. Soldini got
life on Devine's bad throw to first, went
@ third on wild pitch and scored on
passed ball. Meanwhile Giacamuzzi
lad famed Dan Rieciarelli had walked,
tut the next two men were easy outs
nd the firing ceased.
A fancy double by Clari and Calcagni
poiled St. Anselm's first chance at the
coring and sharp twirling on the part
+ CALI prevented run making when the
econd opportunity offered itself in the
NTH. CALI was assisted by Unfolding
hat was equally as sharp. Walsh start
d the inning by flying out to Soldini,
tho made handsome catch in shallow /
ight, Conner sent safe one to right
nd Holcomb slapped a saucy one into
enter. Both were safely stationed when
be latter went out, David to Giacap1uz-
!, leaving Walizer at first on felder's
hoce. Mr.. CALI got right down to
usiness at this point and famed Barry !
