.ELKO BADLY
BEATS LAMO|LLE
(By the Sporting Editor)


Some weeks ago Lamoille was noted
for its creamery, its Park Bon Air, its
hosDitable people and its baseball
team. At the present writing they
still may have credit for said people,
said creamery, and the afore-men.
toned park, but in connection, never
let it be mentioned nor even whisp-
cred, that Lamoille has a baseball
aggregation. They proved that yester-
day afternoon on our own ball lot, and
they proved 1t beyond contradiction.
1t was a lovely little game for the
Elko boys who like to boost their
batting averages, but 1t wasn't much
for Lamoille. Let it be said that the
ruralites had heaps of exercise for
the day. They romped around the out
er gardens chasing doubles, triples
and homers in grand shape. Forsooth
they were mighty good rompers. 1t
was nothing more or less than a bom-
bardment, and just about the time that
the lowing herd was winding slowly
oe'r the lea the Lamoillers were weary
with footsore.
The score has not been mentioned.
and were II not for future generations
ii might be well to forget it, but Joe
Snelson official historian, or score
keeper-take your choice-worked so
hard yesterday that it would be moth
ing less than a crime to fail to chron-
icle the dope. The result as announc-
ed was "a to 0, and there might have
been one score missed at that. Ames
and Manning were the opposing pitch
ers. 1t is a shame to use the term
opposing, as the show was a love game
for the visitors. Manning had some
thing on the ball all day long, and the
Lamoille had very bad luck with his
shoots. Ames had something on the
ball too. But the only thing he had
IN 1t that was noticeable Was the COW
er.
Lamoille had an infleld and outfield
that showed many errors, and had
Ames received better support the
game might have been closer, perhaps
20 to 0. Mr.. G.. Ames was not the only
man who suffered by the hititis. Al
young man who We may call Buck
master, that being his name, spent a
vt e time on The mound also. He had
a roundhouse out, and a glove, but
that was all that was discernable. An
dy Ryan was also there, but he fell
by the wayside, as the others did.
Helfrich opened the comedy by lin
'ng one of Ames shoots to the outer
gardens, and then came McFarlane
with healthy smash, and Manning al
so donated one, this combination
bringing in duo of runs. The next
is for JoviaD hit one of Manning's
third inning, Merithew. Manning and
Reinhart went out in order. In the
fourth stanza, Hicks and Dore went
out, and Wright added one more run
to the total by fast work. Hanks and
HeIfrich both hit to the pasture and
scored making trio for the inning.
In the fifth after Manning and Rein
hart went out Hicks and Dore hit
safely and Wright finished the inning
by making a circuit clout.
Fifteen men went to bat in the sixth
inning, which was the banner of the
day. Merrick, first man up, tripled
to center veldt McFarlane doubled
and Merithew hit safely and all three
scored. Manning was next and he
also tailed. Reinhart hammered
four bagger to the center field, and
then Casey hit safely. Bryant also
hit and score after Wright had gone
out and Hanks hit safety to right
Merrlck hit one to left and the fielder
misjudged same, and the batter went
to second. McFarlane went out and
Merithew and Manning followed Mer.
