the Newport baseball team to solve
the offerings of Henry Thormalon, d
| product of South Boston, Mass, and
one-time "bi~ Lacquer, was respon-
sible for our boys losing the second
straight game with Sherbrooke or
the latter's grounds on SATURDAY. af.
ternoon. With warm sun shining
down on the diamond, the day was
ideal for baseball and a crowd OF
nearly 1900 fans watched the Cana
dians overwhelm the Newport aggre-
cation bv score of 10 to /.
The large number of loyal fans
who made the trip to Shcrbrooke to
root for their favorites were greatly
disappointed at the outcome Of the
second game against the deadly II
walls of Newport
Sherbrooke's star twirler, Tholma-
Ion, who swings from the port side,
deserves the major portion of the
credit for the Saturday victory. This
crack southpaw, who, by the way, is
a cousin to the youno finger of the
came name, who nitchcs for Miller
Higgins New York Yankees, pitch
Cd superb game and just to show
he could use the bat in a fair wav,
knocked out three vicious extra base
wallops, two doubles and triple.
His desire to stretch the three base
hit into home run resulted in his
injury when he slid into the home
station. Catcher John Brioullettc
tagged the runner some distance from
the platter and just as he did the
collided. John was unhurt while
Information received badly wrench
ed knee. The game was halted for
several minutes while the injured
mans wound was bathed, and rub
bed. He showed his gameness when
he refused to quit and was loudly
checred as he returned to the box in
thc next session. His injury made it
difficult for him tp field the ball and
impossible fol- him to run. A substi-
tute player ran for him while he lam
bastcd the pill.
The other heavy swatters on the
Sherbrooke team were Sniderham,
Newton, Giboin and Molyneux New
ton drove out "fluke" home rum The
ball was hit about 30 feet back of
first base and got lost in the Grass.
FOLSOM, the right fielder, and the
whole infeld went to look for the
ball but before they succeeded in
locating the missing pill, Newton had
crossed the platter, Savage romping
in ahead of him. That was a sample
of the luck Newport was up against
during the whole "amc.
The Newport boys found i. great
deal easier to hit Thoimalon Satur-
day than the did when he pitched
in Newport, but no matter how hard
they hammered the sphere someone
was right under it, nearly every time.
Rublee was the hcav'- hitter, getting
4 single and one double. Lahar got
double and Bigelow and II. kenni-
son both knocked out clean singles.
Newport opened the game in the
proper way by getting score in the
first inning MONTGOMERY walked and
Lahar sacrificed, Thormalon to Molly
ncnx. Rublce came through with
single to right field, scoring
Monty. Unfortunately Rublee got
caught stealing second and was out,
Newton to Bridges. K6nnison reached
first when Giboin mulfed his high fly
but Bigelow closed the inning with
a long fly to Giboin.
The aCnadians secured the first run
on Umpire Watson's unjust decision
at the plate. Baker singled, went to
Col al, fol
third. He tried to steal home but was
out by more than two feet, Monty
to Brioullette. The arbiter ruled him
safe however. This and another raw
decision in the next inning was
enough to take the heart out of the
Newport players.
Shcrbrooke got four more runs IN
the third Bridges was hit and went
to second when Sniderham busted
safely. The runners were advanced
by a wild pitch. Savage strollcd fill
ing the bases. Newton hit to Rub
lee who threw BRIDGES out at the
plate, but Umpire Watson called Kim
safe. The rules show the man was
out, but no one could
make the umpire understand this.
Gibon then singled and Snidcrham
and Savage scampcrcd home. Gibon
reached second and Tbormalon first
base when Folsom muffcd the lat
tcr'a fly. Information stole second.
Newton was caught trying to steal
home, Brioullettc to Monty to Bli-
oullettc to Rublcc. Baker went out,
Wells to Rublce. Molynoux singled
scoring Giboin but Thormalon was
and TIolynoux were stranded when
was out, Mont. to Rublce.
They secured three more in the fourth
on Jour hits and one more in the
sixth and seventh.
