Whitcomb high school baseball team
suffered its only crushing defeat Of the
season yesterday at South Royalton,
when Regain was hit hard, giving way
TO Lavere in the latter part of the game.
To put in Regain again so soon after
pitching the game at Woodstock last
Saturday was an error in judgment. If
Lavere could have been put in at first
and Regain held for an emergency the re-
suit might have been different. The loss
of the game was not wholly due to the
pitchers weakness, the whole team not
being up to standard apparently being
as weary as the pitcher after the Wood
stock game. The score of this pitiful
game was South Royalton 8, Whitcomb q
