NEWPORT BEATS
LYNDONVILLE
BY 81 SCORE;

Edward "Eesaw" Wells pitched
very steady ball, his team mates gave
him excellent support both in the
field and at the bat and as a result
Newport defeated Lyndonville in a
fast game at Gaines Trotting Park
on Saturday afternoon. The local
boys folded like champions and came
across with base hits when the occa-
j sion call for them. The score Of the
game was to 2, five of the locals
lune being piled up in the 9Th inning,
when the Newport boys landed hard
on Robert Taylor, the opposing
twirlel, and found him for seven
clean hits.
The visitors were late in arriving
BAT nine men came to Newport and
rs result it was necessary for them
II borrow one of the local aggrega-
ton to help them in practice. A. |.
kcEnison volunteered to bang out
few hot grounders to the infeld.
The hitting on the part of the Lyn-
GcEVllle boys was weak and as it was
Wells did not overwork himself. The
fac was, the old boy didn't have to
u up great deal of energy in
pitching because his brother players
gave him superb support. There
were but three errors made on the
Newport side.
