Spaulding high school frightened it
clinch on the schoolboy championship o.
Vermont at Gospel Village Friday after
noon by defeating Montpelier seminary
5 to 3. 1t was the second time that
Spaulding registered against the sem
mary, having gained 9 to s decision
over the team at the beginning of the
season. Nichols, the altitudinous Spauld.
ing moundsman, retrieved himself after
getting bad start in the game at st
Adams Memorial day. Against him
| Coach w. T. Maiden of the seminary
team picked his star portsider, Holway,
to perform, but the youngsters wing was
ineffective and in the fourth frame he
was suppplanted by Granai. There was
lots of smoke in Granai's delivery and
he gave a good account of himself in the
innings that followed.
Montpelier had the edge on hits, but
the skull work was uncovered by Spauld-
ing. Nichols had bad Is minutes in
the fourth round and before the clouds
settled the seminary had scored its three
runs. Thereafter he frightened and with
snappy support he retained the mastery.
Wild heaves, although few in number,
and Holway's Indifferent showing in the
fourth and fifth innings enabled the
Barre school boys to start the sixth on
even terms with their opponents Time
ly hitting and headwork on the bases de-
cided the issue in the seventh, when
Spaulding pushed two runs across the
plate.
Nichols had famed Ward and was Civ
ing Church the north and south when
the seminarians started their fireworks
in the fourth. Church walked and Ark
ley did likewise. Holway famed and
Mari slammed out double to right gar
den, Church registering. Arkley and
Mari both counted on Hatch's saucy tap
through second base. The latter died at
third when Venetti shot the ball to
Thomson. Montpelier had its scoring
machine ready to operate in the first and
second innings and again in the seventh
and eighth, but the necessary punch was
lacking
A pass to Ossola and successive singles
by Yenetti, Johnston and Mann, and an
other dispensation to oliver gave Spauld-
neet-footed runners on the bases, Holway
labored to disadvantage, but his handi-
cap was as nothing compared with that
Of Arkley, for the pitcher delivered slow
~ and Ossola, Nenetti, Mann and oliver
were all able to steal, almost at will. |
But for the erudest kind of coaching |
when Mann was induced to make try |
for the rubber on passed ball. the scor- |
ing might have gone on. In the fifth in |
ming Young walked and Thomson got a |
life on Holway's wild heave over first.
Young hoped along to third and Tailed
when Hatch catapulted the ball over
bird Coach Maiden had replaced Hol-
way with Granai in the tempestuous
ourth, but the portsider was given an
,ther chance in the fifth. After Thorn
ION had stolen third, Granai returned to
he mound and famed the next three
men. 1t was creditable performance
md undoubtedly acted as stall on fur
her scoring.
The locals made another opening in
he seventh. when Young led off with a
leat rap to left, advanced TO second on a
elder's choice and scored on Geals' sim
lie through center The latter was
aught at third 0ssola flied TO right,
nat Venetti, by singing scored Thorn
on and went to second on balk, being
aught as he attempted to steal third,
Irkley to Mari.
