SERIES STANDS EVEN
FOR CONTENDERS
Score in Yesterdays Game
on Seminary Campus
Was 8 to 6

high school, at the Goddard campus yes
terday afternoon by the score of to 6
in game that was anyone's up until
the last man was out. By virtue of the
victory Goddard was placed on the same
footing with the Spaulding aggregation
in the race for the Vermont preparatory
school championship. The first game
was won by Spaulding a couple of weeks
ago by the score Of 6 to 3. In accord
ance with the custom, both schools were
represented by large lotteries of follow
ers, who manifested their interest in the
contest until the end
The game was won and lost in the
earlier hours of the contest when God
dard tailed six times before the expira-
tion of the fourth inning. In the first
and fourth innings Tomasi was hit the
hardest and was backed by wretched
support. All this time Goddard was in
possession of commanding lead, but the
high school youngsters were fighting
gamely against overwhelming odds. In
the sixth the sons of old Jacob Spauld-
ing sailed forth for run. In the fol-
lowing inning another run was scored
and then the high school lads went on
a rampage in the eighth while Goddard
was playing very loose ball behind Keefe.
During this session big scare was
hurled at the Goddard standard, for
when the inning was brought to close
Spaulding was but one run behind, to
6. Goddard scored one more run in the
ninth, bringing the score up to 8 to 6.
The Pitching Selections.
"Three- Fingered" Keefe, Goddard's
best performer, was ordered onto the
field to assume the burdens of the pitch
er's duties by Coach Hoernle. He pitched
one of the best games of his career,
holding the Spaulding batters to four
scattering hits. He was forced into
many tight pinches by his teammates
and with the exception of the eighth in
ming emerged unchanged. Keefe was at
his best during the opening of the game.
He apparently became fatigued by his
work during the later rounds.
Spaulding's hopes were mainly pinned
on the pitching of Captain Tonasi, but
he was not at his best. He did not
reach his stride until after the fourth
inning, but by that time the game had
been laid away. In the first inning he
was as wild as hawk. He hit one bat
ter and passed another and then a timely
hit by Witt scored two runs. The runs
scored by Goddard in the fourth were
mostly through hits.
