WALL0P DID IT

NIP AND TUCK
GAME SATURDAY
Crowd Worked into a Fren-
zy Of Baseball EX-
element

It took II innings and sturdy wal
lop from Jack Brown for the italian A
c. to make its stand against Goddard
seminary at the Berlin street grounds
Saturday afternoon, but a defeat of the
week previous was avenged when the
club team nosed out 6 to victory
Seasons viii wax and wane ere Berlin
street crowd is thrown into such frenzy
as the whirlwind finished. The motors
in both scoring machines went dead aft
er the fifth frame and it was not I'M
til the twelfth inning that Goddard broke
to tie by pushing across a run that
promised momentarily to win the game.
Promised is the word but the promising
elements forgot to reckon with Brown
and his trusty willow with two men
on at q o'clock OF a cold spring night, the
ielder-comedian cracked the marble for
two bases and the jig was up.
Because the weather clerk has seen fit
to continue the snowshoeing season into
the lap of June, the crowd attained to
the proportions Of prohbitionist ward
brayed the rigorous weather, as the
once awhile baseball reporters say,
saw an lS-karat game. There were mis-
plays but they were not all responsible
for the scoring and the play was of such
uniform excellence that the issue was
very much beclouded to the last. Heth-
erton, Goddard fedgling, did his bit in
the box until chased in the 9TH and att
er that portsider named Bridgford, also
newcomer at the seminary, went
against all the l. A, G, dope by holding
his opponents scoreless till the 18th. BY
many bingles, the Italians outhit the
schoolboys and very often before extra
innings were reached they were near to
scoring.
The Italians got their first brace in
the second canto when singles by Stuart,
Starr and Bottiggi, a double by Clari
and John Browns carefully plotted sac
rifice netted two runs The team re-
peated in the fourth, Brown and Clari
each walked and scored on Davidson's |
two Dagger to the sun garden. After
that the lull. Thereafter the Italians
were able to dispose men on bases in
yearly every inning. but the final punch |
double, unassisted. in the ninth and in
the eleventh Layoie's tumble of a roller |
from Davidson made an opening but ex
pectations took slump when Comolli |
grounded out. In the last inning John
ston singled neatly down the irst-base
line, but was headed at second when
Boyle fielded Stuart's grounder to La
vote Starr got life on Lavoie's FUN
Bile. which advanced Stuart to second.
Ready for the grand entrance music
and make way fob Mistah Jack Johnsing
Brown. The willy vsudevillian did not
wait to look them over. but selected the
first offering from Bridgford. 1t was in
the nature of straight one and Jacks
bat killed it smartly on the cheek.
Stuart and Starr were off like couple
Of greyhounds and when the shout
ing and the tumult died the pair had
scored and Brown was grinning fendish-
" on the second sack.
After threatening advances in the sec
ond and third frames, Goddard made the
most of liberal dispensations from the
moundsman in the fifth and collected
four runs. Melanson filled the bases BY
walking Shea and Jacobs and winging
Briekley. Shea was enabled to amble
home on wild throw to first and Brick
ley scored from third on Burns Nightly
sacrifice to Bottiggi, who did not return
in time. Lavoie's single meant another
run, for Jacobs tailed thereon and La
vote himself registered when Davidson
passed up hot one from Smith. In the
sixth and ninth there were rumors of
scoring, but the real fireworks for God
dard came in the 18th Burns sent high
one to Bottiggi, whose muff although en-
tered as an error, was entirely excusa-
BILE. Lavoe walked and Smith flied to
Clari 1t was on Tryon's sizzling ground
er through shortfeld that Burns scored !
and Lavoie advanced to third. Boyle ,
famed and Bridgford opened the way for
the Italians garrison finish by rolling !
1ut to Johnston.
