TWIRLER HAD VISITORS
UNDER HIS THUMB
Heavy Hitting Artillery of
Italians Was Unlim-
bered Saturday

1t took the Italian Athletic club just a
trile more than one hour and half to
trounce a rugged looking bunch of ball
tossers from st. MichaePs college, Wi
nooski, at the Berlin street park Satur-
day afternoon by the score OF to z.
Something less than 20 minutes sufficed
to show that the Italians were outpoint-
ing their opponents in several depart
ments of the game, that the st. Mi
chaePs of Saturday was not the st. Mi
chaePs OF yore, and that the locals, with
the veteran, Weafer, on the firing line,
have finally struck their pace. After
making due allowance for the disparity
in scores and the difference in class, it
was rather diverting game after all,
and the crowd of 300 fans or more who
Travelled down to Berlin street must have
felt quite amply rewarded, for the con-
test bristled sufficiently with brilliant
PLAYS and heavy clouts to call forth APP
plause at good many turns.
Barring trio of inexeusabie errors,
the Athletics presented the picture OF
nine men welded together as unit and
trotting through the innings at mid
season pace Joe Weafer sauntered into
the box at the start and stayed there
while his services were needed For the
reason that the men behind him were
backing him up with an attractive brand
of support, he wasn't put to the pains
of pitching his prettiest, but he managed
to get away with the Winooski batsmen
whenever he seemed so disposed. Weaf-
er kept the bingles. five of them, well
sprinkled and from the very beginning
things went his way and the way of his
teammates. Opposed to him was Lime
han, newcomer at St. MichaePs. The
college twirler gives promise of sue
cessful future, but his work Saturday
was of little avail, considering that the
Athletics were wreaking vengeance on
everything they suspected of being
strike. 1t win be interesting to watch
young Linnehan perform one year hence.
The end of the fourth saw the Barre
team with straightaway lead. Com
paratively few miseues were involved in
the harvesting of two runs each in the
first, third and fourth rounds. Both
Weafer and Bottigi contributed doubles
that helped the scoring along. Young
Counter upheld his reputation as COM
er among recruits by singing three
times. Brave Fowlie's long bang to cen
ter in the fourth made possible the tally
ing of the sixth run. Hostilities ceased
until the sixth inning, when Counter
singled and was enabled to score later
on Comolli's safe one. In the seventh
Calcagni got a life on his safe one, but
the next three men were out in order.
Counter started the fireworks in the
eighth by slapping the ball to center for
q single. He counted on Fowlie's second
double and the latter came in on an adj
mixture of Linnehan's error and double
between Lessard and Kelleher.
Only in rare instances were the col
legians able to place men on bases. This
they did in the first chapter, but the net
proceeds were slim, indeed. Along in
the seventh, with man out, Lessard
got life of Davidi's boot stole second
and came to the plate on Lapoint's nice
double. The next two men persisted
without any more ado. Errors by Cha
camuzzi and man out In right field, !
coupled with Gilligan's hit to left, /
brought in the only other tally in the |
eighth. The score:
