BARRE PLAYERS
IN FINE FORM
After Latter Had Got Early
Start, the Game Was
Of No Interest

Nearly 700 baseball fans gathered al
the Italian Athletic clubs field off Berlin
street Saturday afternoon TO witness the
game of ball between the Barre Athletic
club and the Italians, when the Barre
team got revenge on their opponents by
the score of Is to 0. 1t was the fourth
game in the series to be played between
the two teams, the Italians winning the
| first three. During the game the ltal-
ians brought forth four OF their twirlers
and sent them onto the firing line, but
none was able to stop the Barre men
from crossing the rubber. Fans witness
ing the game openly expressed their dis
satisfaction with the way the end came,
as the Italians tended to make farce of
the game.
Unsupported by their strong pitcher,
Joe Weaferi who had lame arm and
who is being held in reserve in order to
pitch the game against the st. Johnsbury
team next Wednesday, the Italians We're
powerless in the hands OF the Barre team.
Tomasi started the game in the box for
the Italian team and three errors We're
made behind him in the very first in
ming, letting one man score. Two more
innings were safely passed with him in
the box but in the fourth the bases were
filled with two out.
Raia, coming from nobody knows
where, who had been picked up during
the day, had been throwing few along
the sidelines and when the bases were
filed, Coach Scampini sent him TO the
box. A wild pitch was the first ball he
threw and ii advanced all on bases one
station, one crossing the rubber. But
he struck his man out, leaving two on
bases. Raila got by one inning all right
but his second inning of pitching finished
him He let the bases I'll and only had
one out in the sixth when Scamp thought
another change was due and hailed kink
Gay from center field.
Gay had as bad a start as did his pre-.
deeessor. Peduzzi, the next man up, was
hit in the arm by a pitched ball, forcing
in another run. Gay finished that inning
and got past another without letting in
any more scores but he was being hit
some The next inning he blew up.
Two safe hits, two free passes and one
hit by pitched ball had let in three
scores and two men were on bases.
Here Dick Lyons, unauthorized. stepped |
into the box and Gay took his place at |
short. Worse and worse and more of il. |
Five more men scored on him before he |
could get the last two out in that inning. |
The ninth was a sure farce. Two men |
hit by pitched balls, two free passes, two |
home runs and one error were responsible |
for seven scores. Fans heaved a sigh of /
relief when the last man was put out.
