Interci ~ Park
GIVING THEM
TWO GAMES

Losing Team was Shaky in
Field and Failed to Hit
at Right Times

The Italian a.. G. won the second game
OF the Italian A. C.-Barre A, G. series
to decide the city championship at In
tercity park Saturday afternoon by the
score OF 8 to in rather tame game
of baseball. BY virtue of Saturdays
victory the Italians have two games of
the series to their credit. The series
was arranged for the best three out Of
five games. Intercity park was the
magnet for throng of nearly 1000 spec
tators from Barre and Montpelier, an
even larger crowd than passed the turn
stiles in the opening contest.
The Italian aggregation of ball-tossers
clearly outplayed the Barre team at
every stage of the nine innings and
were totally deserving of victory. Ar
rayed in the batting toys, the Italians
found Aylward, the Middlebury twirler
and Davidson, Barre's star performer,
but little opposition in concerted efforts
to land the second leg OF the champion
ship series. In the very opening inning
the Italians instituted their batting bee,
which was very much in evidence in
every inning.
Awkward, who was recruited to do the
honors of the mound for Barre, was
obliged to retire from the breastworks
under fire at the close of five innings.
In that time he was touched up for eight
hits, which, together with smattering
of errors, resulted in seven tallies for
the Italians. Davidson entered onto the
scene in the sixth inning and during his
four-round regime was no enigma to
the victors. When Awkward retired at
. ~ al, ~ Sal
isns were in the lead with to / score.
Davidson was scored on twice during
the remaining innings.
Joe Weafer, the peerless pitcher, again
went to the little hillock under orders
from Manager Calcagni. Weafer was
once more master of the Barre team.
During the first four innings but IA bat
tiers faced the conquering pitcher. With
a commanding head, the Morrisvlle lad
eased his pace at this juncture. Be-
cause Of injuries received early in the
game Weafer lost his effectiveness New |
ertheless, he was able to work through |
the game and emerged decisive win
ner.
Weafer, David and Comolli were the
most conspicuous hitters in the Italian !
team, although other members of the |
team managed to respond at crucial mo
ments with telling hits. Weafer welded |
the willow for four safeties, David three |
and "Big Joe" Comolli poled a brace of |
long doubles. Peduzzi, Wright and Mute
led the Barre faction in batting.
The superiority of the Italian team in
the field was not questioned Probably
the most noticeable work was achieved
by Earl Williams. the Dartmouth play
er. He was credited with four put-outs
and two assists. He covered the center
garden with leetness of foot and every
one of MS put-outs was noteworthy.
In the seventh inning he robbed Mute of
a two-base hit by spectacular one
handed catch and and also STAYED off
great respect will be evinced for his
strong right arm. In the fourth inning
he caught Hoar, running for Mute, as he
attempted to make third by a snappy
throw from deep center field. In the
seventh he nipped Peduzzi attempting
to make home from second base on
Wright's hit. Bottigi added his name I
TO the honor list by pulling down Johns
tons drive in deep left field after long
run. Giacamuzzi also turned in good
day in the field. {
When Umpire Battles opened the fire. 2
works, the Barre team, accompanied by a
strong sections of rooters, were keyed II
high with hope to turn the tide of the I
series their way and the prevailing opin- 2
ion of the crowd indicated a Barre vic
tory. Their hopes were blasted shortly.
Awkward failed to locate the plate fos ?
