and Poorly at Mont

All kinds Of baseball, good, bad ant
Indifferent, mostly the latter brand, Were
crowded into game won yesterday ait
ernoon by Spaulding high from Montpe
lier high on Montpelier seminary campus
by the score of III to 5. The game was
more even than the score would indicate
although the result was hardly ever in
doubt, the Montpelier nine having the
lead but once and then they lost it with
in few minutes.
Tomasi pitched passable game, allow
ing but two hits, but he was unsteady at
times, and Levin did none too well at
handling his delivery. Sector played bril-
liantly and miserably at shortstop by
turns, but scored three runs, while Smith
starred at bat with three hits, one a
homer.
The scores were made something like
this: Smith, the Barre third sacker,
opened the game anspiciously by driving
the ball to the outskirts of left field,
making home on the hit. Tomasi sim
gled with two down but was made to
look foolish when caught fat-footed off
first.
Montpelier took the lead in the second
by making three tallies without hit.
Pape reached first on an error by Sector
and strolled to second ON a passed ball.
Shepard soon joined him on the sacks
via free transportation. Milo then struck
out but gained the initial sack when
Levin dropped the third strike and held
the ball, watching him run. Two passed
balls in succession allowed Pape and
Shepard to cross the plate and Milo
made the third run on an infield out. A
double play, oliver to Smith, ended the
scoring.
Spaulding took the lead in the third
stanza. Smith pushed a hit past sec
ond base and Sector walked after Kidder
famed. Tomasi rolled one to Milo, who
threw the ball 10 feet over the third
sacker's head and Smith scored. Sector
taking third on the play. Sector scored
a moment later on a balk, Tomasi going
to the look-in corner. He scored when
Gordon polled sacrifice fly to center
field.
Spaulding made the total six in the
