A Fast Article of Ball Was
Revealed at Inter
u. city Park

Baseball tinctured of the long cher
isbed game displayed in the palmy days
of the old Northern league was shown
at Intercity park yesterday afternoon
when the Barre A. G. lost by the score
of q to | in the first encounter OF the
two.pame series with the Keene, N H.,
cluh of the Twin-State league. The
Kecne team, although generally &C.
knowledred to have assembled one OF
the strongest organizations ever anil
atad with the Twin State circuit, found
n yery formidable adversary IN the
Barre team Interest in the game was
always manifested.
The standards Of victory hew over
the dugout OF the Keene club because
of the superb twirling of win" Adams.
the well known Tufts college athlete.
Nevertheless, the hopes OF the heene
club we're not solely pinned on the blg
Tufts star previous to the game, out
were center in the potentiality OF Its
excellent assemblage OF players, who
represent some of the best college talent
in the East. The Keene team on the
field presented the appearance OF the big
tent show, especially the infield. Inc
play of the inner works was stonewali,
and MANY hits were held up by the last
fielding of the quartet.
During the first three innings, heefe
secured five hits, scoring its quartet OF
tallies in the second and third innings.
After those innings, the keene lads
welded the ash sticks with good e1ect
but were unable to score further.
Barre never entered within the danger
zone until the last session. With one
down in the. ninth, the Barre lads start
ed to hirt with victory by battlns
rally. Barre admirers pulled hard Tor
victory, but the rally was smothered
with but one run. The rally threw
scare into the camp of Sullivan's pro-
teges, and emergency pitchers were con-
spicuous in one corner OF the lot, pre-
pared to enter the game.
That the Keene victory did not reach
greater proportions is in some phases
miraculous in view OF the accident IN
the fourth inning, when both members
of the Barre battery met with injuries
In this inning Adams skied the ball TO
lofty altitude. Both Davidson and
Fowle sgnaled for the ball. which was
to land on fair territory. After con-
tinuous exchange of courtesies to the
other, both lunged after the sphere and
collided. The impact threw both heavily
to the ground. Fowlie was rendered
semi.conscous and before play could be
resumed the game had been suspended
about fifteen minutes. Fowlie received
an injured nose, diseolored eye and
bruised cheek. One of Davidson's lamps
was discolored and partly closed. Both
players returned to the game, receiving
laud plaudits from the stands.
"Win" Adams pitched after the fash
ion that gained repute for him in college
circles. His easy overland delivery
brought forth very deceptive ball to
the Barre batters. He used an excellent
change of pace and had his opponents
baffled from the start. Adams was hit
safely but three times and managed to
fan fifteen batters during the nine-in-
lining fray. The three hits off Adams
were well scattered.
Tommy" Davidson proved a sturdy
opponent for Adams. He was hit rather
freely during the first three innings,
but after that he heaved masterful ball
and guided his teammates safely out of
danger.
The features of the game were the
hitting OF McElwee, Murray and Sull-
Isvan of the keene team and the brilliant
I fielding of Mute, the Barre lad, in the
I short field. Nute's work at short was
the best seen at Intereity this season.
He ambled about the field with sur
prising agility and by some clever stops
and throws STAYED off many hits. Muir
ray and McElwee each secured three
hits and Sullivan embraced duo OF
;bingles.
The Scoring
Murray opened the second with a dou-
bic into center field. Meehan, the Dean
lad, flied to Tomasi. Sullivan leaned
against one of Davidson's shoots for a
