IN PITCHERS BOX

Strengthened and Played
Alright Ball

| Over 500 spectators witnessed an ar
tcle of baseball that resembled the pro-
fessional game more than the ordinary
run of games played in this vicinity
when the Barre Athletics administered
a coat of calcimine to the snappy soldier
team from the Plattsburg barracks Sat
lnrday afternoon. But one hour and Il
half transpired while the game was in
progress and the support accorded the
pitchers by both teams was very good
| The tabulated score indicated a decisive
victory for the local club, to 0.
The visitors presented likely look
| ing lot of ball tossers and put up a
snappy article in the field, but were per
fectly helpless before the masterful
pitching OF Tommy Davidson. David
son was simply an enigma TO Uncle
Sans foot soldiers, but one man being
able to amble his way along the grassy
paths to third base and three others
were very fortunate in being permit
ted to make a terminus of the second
hassock. The local pitcher was in his
element and had first hand knowledge
OF an the articles and cunning OF his
trade; but four hits were checked off
against him on the official scorers sheet.
! The four hits resulted through the top
ography Of the seminary campus.
Two of the hits were doubles over
left field fence, which would have been
easily gobbled up on regulation field.
Another double and a single invaded the
maple grove in right field, where it was
utterly impossible for the sentinel Of
the chasm field to place himself under
the flying sphere while the pill came
crashing through the branches David
son passed two batters and was the
cause of six wielders of the club to Whit
the zephyrs.
Berry, a rangy southpaw, whose type
and style of hurting reminded one OF
big Lacquer. with the exception Of the
/ third and fifth sessions had the situation
well in hand. Six hits and two runs
resulted respectively in these innings.
The big portsider sent seven local swats-
men back to the bench on strikes.
The showing of the Athletics was a
source of delight to the people lining
the beaehers, who declared the lineup
one Of the best ever representing the
local team. The playing OF the club
was concerted and every man handled
1 himself in admirable fashion, both with
the willow and in the field. The work
of the infield was especially deserving
of credit. Several intieh rollers that to
many seemed possible hits, were scooped
up BY the fast moving combination re-
firing the runners at first. j. David
son, who has worn an Italian uniform
for the past four or five seasons, made
| his initial appearance with the Barre
club and covered himself with glory
Davidson cleaned up two difficult ground
Iers and shot the ball to first ahead of
| the runners. He was effective with the
ash, his one hit coming with men on
bases.
! The appearance Of Hoernle behind
| the bat for the local club greatly added
to the strength of the local club. Hoer-
nile was OF great aid in guiding Tommy
Davidson through the game. Hoernle's
hitting column totaled one hit, which
was a our-sacker.
Barre manmuvred for long run in
the opening inning. Mute secured free
pass. but was out on second on an at
| tempted sacrifice by j. Davidson. Da-
wilson stole second while w. Johnston
was tanning. Hoernle cracked a screach-
ling liner to center field, which slipped
lKelley's hands and Davidson scored.
| In the third session the Barre club
bers went after Pitcher Berry with a
vengeance and before the curtain was
drawn that inning six TALES had been
heaped together. Tommy Davidson, the
first man up, was passed, and immedl-
ately pilfered second base. Mute walked.
Jackie Davidson was on deck with a
scorching single to center field, I. Da-
wilson counting. W. Johnston picked
one out to his liking and pounded the
pill far over the bank in right field.
cleaning the bases. Hoernle followed
suit, his powerful bludgeon bidding the
horsehide a farewell trip to Addison
place. The next two batters were out in
order Tonguay worked Berry for
tioket and straightway stole second base.
/ Mckenzie met the ball squarely, send
ling it to right field. Tonguay came in

! The local club wound up the scoring
festivities in the fifth chapter with a
brace of runs With two down, r. john
ston hit safely to left field. He ad-
yanced when McKHlop fumbled Ton
guay's drive. A wild pitch showed both
runners along peg. Mckenzie, who
II had been hitting the ball hard all att
ernoon, banged another hit into the mid
die garden, both runners making the
terminus. The inning closed with /.
