LOSERS MADE ERRORS
AT CRITICAL TIMES
While Winners Were Fortu-
nate in Making Hits at
the Right Time

The first of the series of baseball
games between the Barre Athletic clul
and the Italian Athletic club was stage
at the Granite City trotting park yester
day afternoon when the Barre A. G. team
was sent down to defeat by a score o.
4 to |. All through the game the advan
tage was with the winners, they playing
a better game in the field and with the
| bat.
Steady hitting by them helped along
matters in the way of winning The
honors in this line fall to Dick Lyons
and Joe Comolli The former was able
to get three safe ones, including dou-
BILE. Although Comolli got but single
hit, it was Dagger and it came at
an opportune moment and brought in
two scores. All other hits out of the
seven that they slammed out were sin.
giles.
The Barre team was less able to place
their hits. They hit the ball enough but
generally someone was under the ball or
in front of it. There were three singles
and one three Dagger. The latter was a
lusty bang made by Stuart in the ninth
inning.
In the field the Italians were also the
superior. With men on third twice and
man negotiating second, Fowlie tried
getting the man at second. Neither time
was the man put out on the sack and
both times the man on third scored.
Thus half the scores were made.
Gilbert also had poor day fielding the
ball. One poor throw was made to first
and a speedy grounder went through his
fingers Another error was made by
Mute in the outfeld. After making two
pretty catches out there, Mute was all
ready to make the third when it slipped
10 the ground and Bottiggi, who was the
batter, stopped safely at first.
The usual crowd of enthusiastic fans
always anxious to see the two teams
meet, besides a holiday gathering, was
present. The bleachers were filled and
a large number took advantage Of the
grsndstand. The sidelines were crowded, |
and in all nearly 600 tickets were sold
AT the gates.
Stuart, the first sacker for the Barre
team, was the cause OF saving his team
flom complete shutout. His three bag
ger down along first was a good send
on. He was the first man up and all
chances were with him and only one slip
would let him score. That slip came
when Comolli let one OF Weaferis speedy
balls slide by. II was in the ninth in
