session of game played on the Cam
pus Friday afternoon. The game wa:
called at the end of the eighth in
ming because of darkness. 1t was
nearly 4.30 before the start of the
game, due to the late arrival of part
of the Fabyan players.
Although Trombly was hit hard the
exceptionally poor support given
him by his teammates figured large
ly in the final score. Keefe allowed
only five hits during the game but
was given air-tight support with men
on bases. Three double-plays were
pulled off by the locals and three of
| the five errors made by the st. Johns
bury team came when the hassocks
were empty. In the eighth inning
two errors helped the Fabyans to con-
meet with their two lone tallies.
Walizer was the foremost willow
wielder of the day, with four hits
out of five times at bat. Hits annex
three of st. Johnsburys scoring ses-
sions. Maginnis Shay and Corcoran
also were among the stick artists of
the day.
Corcoran of Bethlehem was called
upon to fill in at the hot corner and
played a consistent game throughout
the day, annexing three hits out of
six times at bat. Faulkner, who has
been unable to play since the game
at Montpelier where he strained a
tendon in his left leg, played in the
right garden when in a condition that
hardly warranted it.
In the first inning the Fabyans
were retired in order. Perkins was
out on a roller to Shay, Greenough
was safe on an error by Faulkner in
right field, but was retired shortly
when Vaughn hit into a fast double
Keefe to Shay to McGinnis.
In the locals half of the chapter
a total of three runs were laid aside
Corcoran started things off with h
between short and third. HoernlC
rolled a ball toward first, which
Greenough fielded, but Perkins com
ing down to cover the bag dropped
the throw and everyone was safe
Maginnis went out on a tap to the

base in the process. Shay hit to Il
infield, scoring Corcoran. Hoernle |
scored on a passed ball by the catch
er. McGinnis hit safely through thirt |
scoring Shay, who had gone to sec
ond on the throw in to catch Cor
coran. McGinnis went to second on
the throw in to get Shay at home
Walizer flied out to CENTER and Con-
nor fouled out to the catcher. st.
Johnsbury scored again in the third
when after two were out, McGinnis
hit safely to first, Walizer then
slammed out a hit for two bases,
scoring McGinnis. Walizer contin-
ued to third on a poor throw in from
the field. Connor ended the inning
by striking out.
The first of the fourth inning gave
promise of a Fabyan score when
Greenough, the first man up, was
walked. Vaughn flied out to Faux
ner who caught the ball only after a
hard run. Dougherty smashed one
over second and with two on it look
ed like a score, but Palmer spoiled
any chance when he rolled to Shay
for a double by way of second.
st. Johnsbury again put over two
in the fourth with the aid
Of hits by Keefe and Maginnis, and
two errors contributed by third and
short.
In the sixth inning, Corcoran,
Hoernle and Maginnis all flied out to
Palmer in left. After two had flied out
McGinnis tried hard to drive the ball
to the fence and almost succeeded,
but the effort was wasted as Palmer
was playing deep.
