WILDNESS OF GALA
CHER HIS UNDOING
Davidson Was Hit Hard by
the Visiting
Team

The national pasLlme maue '"a "i
before small gathering of enthusiastic
fans at Berlin street Saturday when the
Italian A. C. added another conquest to
its long list of victories for the season
by defeating the strong Green Mountain
A. C. Burlington in a brilliant ninth
inning rally by the score OF 6 to 5. The
advantage of the game was on one side
and then on the other until the ninth
inning was entered with the clubs on
even terms. In the opening of the ninth
the Burlingtonians bid well for the game
with the bases choked and none out,
but Davidson then showed his effective
ness by holding Maiden's proteges score
less. Pitcher Gallagher, who had been
twirling masterful ball, made the pitfall
for his teammates by passing the first
three batters in succession in the ninth.
Witt. the clever little seminarian, fur
nishing the trappings for the victorious
setting by polling long fly into deep
left field that enabled Calcagni to amble
across the threshold with the winning
tally. Gallagher was detailed for mound
work instead of Malcolm, the great col
lege pitcher who was somewhat indis-
posed. Gallagher, intent upon avengfng
himself for his defeat at st. Johns in
the summer, summoned his best, but
was cratic in his work. He held the
Italian to four hits but these were ne
potiated at opportune moments amid the
spasmodic wildness OF Gallagher that re-
suited disastrously Gallagher passed
seven men and hit two batsmen. At
times the big southpaw twirled league
ball and was yeritable puzzle TO the
locals.
Davidson, the Barre A. C. twirler, was
called upon to assume the burden of
the mound duties. Davidson was hit
safely 10 times, but was successful in
extrieating himself from several trying
situations, noticeably in the ninth in
ming.
The Green Mountain team opened the
scoring festivities in the third inning.
With Maiden down, Davidson ticketed
Gallagher and Burns. Mayforth cracked
single to center and Gallagher scored.
Burns advanced to third. Herb Merrill
hit to Joe Giacamuzzi, whose throw to
catch Burns at home was late. Comolli
however, headed Merrill on first by a
snappv throw. Ashland was thrown out
by Davidson.
The lead was taken by the Italians in
the fourth with quartet of runs. Witt
was passed and Comolli was hit by
pitched ball with one down. Williams
was in turn hit to fill the hassocks
Jimmy Giaeamuzzi slammed single to
center. Malcolm, in his eagerness to
catch the flying sphere, allowed the ball
to roll past him. The three tenants
counted and Giacamuzzi made third
from where he tailed on his brothers
double down left field line. Gallagher
pulled out by tanning the next two bat
tiers.
Returning to the dugout, Manager
Maiden instilled fight into his players
and then went out and took the lead
by scoring thrice. Gallagher was passed.
Burns hit through second and Gallagher
advanced to second. A wild pitch, un-
corked by Davidson, advanced both run
ners a peg. Mayforth was passed; the
bases were filed. Merrill cracked a sim
gle to left field scoring Burns and Gal
lagher. Mayforth made second. Both
strolled along base on Comolli's passed
ball. With two down, Malcolm hit safe
" through Giacamuzzi, scoring May
forth. Golden closed the session by fan
ming. Maiden's team scored no further
although opportunities We're presented.
The Italians evened matters in the
seventh. With one out, Davidson was
passed. He went to second when Maiden
booted Peduzzi's grounder. A sharp
single by Witt past first base scored
Davidson. Gallagher disposed of the
next two batters to close the game. The
final inning that brought victory TO the
Italian standard was started by passing
Calcagni Davidson waited Gallagher
out and also drew a pass. Peduzzi was
likewise strolled. Then Lawton Witt
pounded out his long drive TO Powers
that enabled Calcagni to count. The
