Members of Vermont's varsity team

umphing in the afternoon with to

witnessed both games. 1t was an all

relegated to the big tent for the time
being.
First Game.
A May day sun never shone on bet
ter game of class small city baseball than
the game which the two teams played in
the forenoon. 1t was a holiday crowd
that gathered to cheer the locals on to
the finish and the game itself was cal
culated to keep gathering of spectators
on pins and needles from the very start.
Joe Weaferi, fresh from period of hi
bernation in the wilds of Lamoille coun-
ty. showed the best form ever and against
him was young varsity twirler who has
already humbled some of the swiftest
college combinations in the East. Hits
were PRETTY evenly divided, the Italians
nicking the Burlington youngster for a
half-dozen, while Weaferi kept the nick
ing process down to the minimum.
IL was an alright contest up to the
sixth inning and thereafter there were
fireworks plenty. Prior to the famous
sixth canto, it was relentless monotony
of outs, outs, outs. But the knights OF
the bat, the knights on both sides,
buckled on their armor in and after the
sixth and there were some pretty goose
chases to follow.
The Green Mountain defense crumpled
long enough in the sixth to allow Jack
David to connect for handsome double. |

out at first, but Scampini slapped the |
ball for single and roasted on the first
pillow while Giacamuzzi was whiting. |

followed Lyons justly celebrated cricket
hit to the wicket like door in center field. |

tailed. Lyons following in his wake
moment later when Bottigi singled to
left. David's foul to Mayforth ended
the orgy. In the ninth Joe Comolli
~hacked out double, but the next three !
were easy outs.
Vermont's first registration was made
IN the seventh when Crowther. getting a
life on a fielder's choice. David to Giaca-
muzzi stole second and filed papers on
Linnehan's big one TO the center plot. IL
was all over for the seventh, however,
and Gilbert's sharp double in the eighth
came to naught, for an amazing double
