Manager Sullivan and his coterie OF
diamond rangers representing the 1914
kcene club OF the Twin State league
made their exit from the city Saturday
night with clean sweep of the series
with the Barre A. c. The final game
was captured at Intereity park Satuf-
day afternoon in the presence OF one OF
the largest attendspces of the season by
the score of TO in one OF the snap
piest and most bitterly contested games
In years. On the day previous, through
the masterful twirling Of "Nin" Adams,
the Keene leaguers decidedly outelassed
the Barre team, but Saturdays clash
found the teams battling on even terms
and had it not been for fatal error by
Beckwith, Barre's second sacker, in the
ninth inning, the contest would have
worried into extra innings and the out
come remained problematie. Beckwith's
mlscue proved disastrous to the Barre
team, enabling Ralston to tally from
second base.
On entering into thee ninth frame.
Barre and Keene were battling bitterly
for an option on the game, with the
score standing three all Lyneh's roller,
after flirting with Beckwith, rolled into
short right field. Tomasi came in fast
and shot the sphere for home to head off
Ralston. The throw arrived moment
late and the honors of the game then
fell to the lot of Keene. A rapid double
play by the Stafford, McElwee and Muir
ray route smothered the glimmering
hope of hope for home victory in the
ninth inning after a Barre baseman ex-
plored station No. l.
Barre jumped into the lead in the first
inning when Laird ticketed the ball over
centerfield fence with two tenants ON
the bases. Barre scored no further.
Commencing in the second inning Keene
annexed counter and by the slow proc
ess of lone scores the leaguers drew up
from the rear and managed to equaiize
the run getting when McElwee extended
himself on one of Aylwsrd's fast shoots
for circuit clout over right center
fence. Until the Bowdoin star slashed
his timely drive into the waters of the
Stevens branch, Barre was conceded the
winner.
Ralston, the Seton Hall colIegian, one
of Keene's mainstay pitchers in 1918,
performed on the hillock for Sulliyans
pets. During the first part of the game
he was hit effectively and, in fact, was
touched up rather freely all afternoon.
But after the first inning, when the
Barre team courted scores, the Seton
Hall HEAVIER worked at his best, backed
by superb support. He was hit safely
eight times. The pitching selection for
Barre was Awkward, the Middlebury col
lege twirler, who was secured by the
Barre management at an 18th hour no
tice. This youngster, who has gained
repute throughout the East by his ambi-
dextrous abilities against college mines,
pinned faith in his right propeller. He
was in fine fettle, possessing terrific
speed and a fine assortment of benders
Aylward pitched a game deserving of
victory. But seven scattered hits were
perpetrated off his delivery. His bat
terymate was Munsell, the Norwich cap
tain. One of the features of the game
was the brilliant work of both infields
