Saturday Afternoon by
Score of 5 to 2
DAVIDSON PITCHED
FIRST-CLASS GAME
As Did Hoch of the Visitors
Up to the Seventh
Inning

The recognized baseball team of the
Barre Athletic club added another vic.
tory to the seasons list by defeating
the much heralded Hanover Independents
at Intercity park Saturday afternoon by
the score of to 2. The game was one
of the fastest and most exciting played
in this vicinity this spring and was wit
messed by an exceptionally large early
spring crowd. The Hanover Independ-
ents were marshalled onto the field mi.
nus the presence of the perennial Charles
II. Dudley of sporting goods fame, and
the team presented lineup almost I'M
known hereabouts, but it did not lack
in the least the standard strength of the
Hanover teams. The team was COM
posed mostly of Dartmouth college stu
dents ineligible for the college teams,
with an admixture of players we'll known
in independent baseball circles in north
ern New Hampshire.
In Hoch and McGrath as battery,
the Hanover team uncovered pair that
were not looked down upon in the least
by the Barre players. This battery
gained prominence last summer in sum
mer baseball in northern New York
state. Hoch pitched masterful ball up
to the seventh inning, allowing but five
hits and being scored on but once. In
the fatal seventh he weakened and, aid
ed by series of errors, the Barre team
was able to drive in four runs and place
the game out of reach. Previously the
teams had scored once each in the initial
L.
until the seventh inning. Tommy Da-
wilson donned a Barre uniform for the
first time this season. The work of Da-
wilson was of the same high order that
has characterized his pitching all spring.
He was invincible in critical stages and
scoring by the visitors was largely due
to errors behind him.
The outstanding feature of the game
was the batting of Captain Mute. He
hit safely four times out OF FIVE times
up. On the other occasion he reached
first on an error by Dewey, who made
valiant try for his vicious long drive into
right field. Nute's hits figured strongly
in the scoring
Hanover was the first to score. With
one out in the first Hought was hit by
pitched ball. He made second on an
error by Taplin, scoring while Diacon
was being thrown out by Mute. The
score was evened up in the latter part
of the session. Mute opened with sim
gle over the infeld. He was advanced
to second on Johnston's hit, scoring when
Hoch erred on Gays hit. In the seventh
inning Barre pounded out two more runs.
Mute opened with double. He scored
on Peduzzi's hit. Peduzzi was out, IT.
ner to McGrath. Gay reached first on
an error by Lynch, scoring later as Tap
lin was thrown out by McAndrews.
In the eighth inning, Fowlie, who had
reached first on an error, and Venner,
who had been passed, both scored on
slashing hit by Mute. In the ninth after
one man had been retired, the visitors
held forth in batting rally and for a
short time threw a scare into the Barre
camp. Both scored on Timers single.
Timer was tagged out by Johnston on
Hoch's hit. McAndrews singled, but
Dewey struck out and the hopes of the
Hanover team were blighted The score:
