Well in Their Twirling
for Home Team

Record breaking crowds at the Berlin
street grounds on the Fourth of July
saw the Italian Athletics take double
header from Manager viii Maiden's
Green Mountain Athletics. The fore

between Gallagher and Burns and our
own Joe Weafer had to outcome
1t wasn't so very long ago that the
Mountaineers, with a little lad from
Lawrence academy named Palmer, az
their pitching msinstay, nosed out a
win over the locals, and so it happened
that good many fans are rejoicing to
see the Athletics return the compliment
in good measure. Palmer didn't play in
either of Saturdays games, but the out

Pop" used to be a shining figure at the
Sunday school pienics, but he was up
against different lot OF boys Saturday
and what used to 90 In the creamery
league was only meat for the Italian

brought the total up to four in the
sixth. In the eighth chapter there were
four insertions in the run column.
Weafer led away with another single

The G. NJ. A. c. got its first look-in
at the outset, when SWEET walked and
scored because Weafer dropped "a high

the eighth Dutton drew pass and COM
pleted the circuit on series of unto

sacrifice and the fact that
Merrill got one of Beckwith's offerings
in the rib. All in all, the Mountain team
did not look dangerous on the paths
Among the men who contributed heady
work in the field were Triggs, Giacamuz

The veteran, Grow and Maiden sprinkled
themselves with dabs of glory in the
