EDITIONS that Barre baseball mas expert
enced for a MONTH the |. A. C.'s took the
St Adams ball tossers into camp Satur-
day afternoon on the Berlin street
grounds, sending them back to st. Adams
with 8 to score to think about. As a
ball game it was decidedly void of inter
est; as farce it was extremely good,
| The Italians did not exert themselves,
although they played nice article OF
ball in the field, making out one error
and that an excusable one by Bresnahan,
who is shortstopping for the Italians,
after Bracket hit daisy cutter down
near second base that was difficult one
to handle. Bean, who has been pitching
little for Plainfeld, was given try
out by the Italians and impressed the
crowd bv his steady work, not Issuing a
single passport to the initial station and
holding the visitors down to six scattered
hits There We're three men on the mound
for st. Adams during the contest, none
showing any signs of a second Walter
johnson, although Bracket, who finished
the game, seemed TO get "Uut OF the holes
with better success than did his predeces
sors, who were wild, besides not having
anything on the ball. However, the
blame cannot be laid entirely on the
pitchers, for the team in general played
a shaky game in the field with the ex-
ception of shannon, the center fielder,
who made the prettiest catch that has
been pulled off on the old ball park in
many moon. After slipping down in
short center he turned and gathered in
Lavoie's long lift on the stone chips in
deep center field while on the run. 1t
looked TO be sure triple. He also cap
tured two other hard chances in left cen
ter that were labeled two baggers.
ST. Adams went out in one, two, three
order in the first three innings, but the
Italians started things right off the reel. |
After Bresnahan famed Gaco drew
pass; Lavoie followed him with another |
walk and both crossed the rubber when /
Comolli got his two base drive. The in |
ming ended with Weaferi and Brown be-
ing easy victims on infield outs. The sec /
ond stanza didn't show any excitement,
only the call for volunteers by recruit /
ing officer who motored into the park and |
appealed for help from Barre boys that
might see it their duty to respond 70 the
call.
In the third Hebert, who started for
st. Adams, met his Waterloo. After
Bresnahan knocked one through short
that was too hot for Sheehan TO handle,
Gaco followed with safe drive 20 left
center and Lavoie sent both men home
with three base clout; Comolli knocked
a tielder's choice and Lavoie beat the ball
to the plate, Comolli proceeded to steal
second and third and crossed the rubber
a minute later on an inield error.
The first hit that st. Adams registered
came in the fourth when Bracket sin
gled after Budd had whitfield the breeze,
but nothing came OF it, for minute lat
err he was run down between first and
second and Moore ended their half OF the
inning by tanning.
At this iuncture Hebert was yanked
out and Moore replaced him in the box,
but the change was no improvement, for
Moore was wilder than a March hare the
two innings that he was on the hillock.
The first man to face him was Calcagni,
whom he hit with a pitched ball; Bresna
han hunted on the third strike and was
declared out and by a nice catch by Shan q
non in center and a quick relay to second 9
to min Calcagni the inning WIS ended
without any tallies The fifth, however, :
Moore couldn't pass with such luck as in
he stanza before Comoli started the e
inning by flying out to shannon and then $
Neaferi drew pass; Gay, who took
Browns place in center worked another $
rec ticket; Weaferi stole a base and +
anne home on a passed ball. The inning t
,nded when Bean flied to Hebert, who
vas catching for Moore and a second lat J
n Gay was nipped at first by quick
throw from Hebert to H. Ables b
Everything went along quiet until the d
Eighth. when Bean got life on one of \
Brackets shoots and scored on two b
,agger by Granai, who took Waco's place b
n left field; Granai stole third and scored n
minute later. Cslcagni ended the in
ling by tanning.
The visiting team made their only
core in the ninth After Mcconnell had
AIMED for the third successive time,
sudd came across with a three bsgger in
he far corner Of center field and came
iome when Bracket knocked one too
lot for Bresnahan to handle. The game
nded after Bracket was caught of of
rst and Hebert rolled an easy grounder
O Bresnahan. The score:
