Ray Collins. the old Red Sox southpaw
and hero OF many hard fought battle
against the great Walter johnson and
other pitching stars OF the big show, was
outcassed Saturday, Montpelier taking
a little dose of kalsomine at the hands
of Chief Fro, the old Eastern Lacquer, of
the Rutland team at lntercity park, go
ing down TO defeat by the score of TO o.
Montpelier did not have show from the
| first round until the final count, when
Scott, the hard smuggling pinch hitter,
watched three small puifs of smoke sail
past for the count of three.
The score made by Rutland cannot be
laid entirely on Rays shoulders, as the
teamwork behind him was about as
crude as games played in the playground
league here in our own little metropolis,
the ielders slipping up on easy ground
ers and at times they seemed to think
that the ball was sailing a little too
swift for their class and let il 70 by in
the fish ka bibble" style. At times Col
Inns would loosen little and show some
Of the stuff that carried him along in the
big show. but as a general thing he
simply lobbed them across and let the
Rutland team make the fielders behind
him do the work. Collins has always
been slow TO get into condition and the
lack OF practice probably has good deal
to do with his showing Saturday. 1t
was rumored that he was going TO work
out daily from now on and would be seen
on the mound for Montpelier again in
the near future.
Fro, the Indian moundsman for Rut
land was easily the shining light Of the !
game, for he was burning them across all /
the afternoon with something like the |
smoke that made Smoky Joe Wood |
champion twirler in 1912 Seldom does |
a pitcher show the confidence that the |
Indian showed throughout the game, for /
on nearly every occasion when the count |
stood three and two, he would serve up |
swift curve on the corners and pull his |
man. So good was his pitching that II
of the Montpelier men went down on
the Whit route, and only three good .
clean singles could be made off his deliv
cry, although three scratch hits brought
the total up to six.
Aside from Eros pitching there We're
few features OF note, although Doyle
made grandstand stab of liner in the
sixth, when he jumped into the air and
pulled down what looked to be a safe hit
by Walsh
Rutland started things in the second
inning and were never headed off there
after. Shedd reached first on Wake
fields muff of Doyle's easy throw from
the shortfield, was sacrificed to second by
Hastings perfect bunt along the first
base line, and scored on Walsh's sacrifice
1y to right field. Their big rally came
in the fourth, when Harmon singled
Shedd reached first on Doyle's error,
Hastings got a life on Collins error and
Harmon and Shedd scored on Eros sac
'ifice fly to Gallagher Walsh raped out
single, advancing Hastings to third and
both men scored on ]. Barrett's two bag
ger. Their last tally came in the eighth
inning after Bresnahan mussed F. Bar
'ett's rap a sacrifice by Harmon sending
lin to second and Doyle's error of Hast
ngs daisy clipper toward second sending
i'm home for the score. The score is as
ollows:
