Twlling with the steadiness of
veteran, Scion "Slim" Hill, the cra"E
Newport l1gnU-handcr, treated tnt

pitching as one could expect to wit

the game and many of the hits secur-
cd bv the invaders were in ~" '"fcld.
The Newport outfeld performed It's
duty in a fine manner while in con-
trast the infeld defense broke down
on several occasions. Behind the bat,
Vernon Hill was veritable stoncw'll
and the stocky back-stop was very
succe 3sful in holding tight to the hot
shots put over by his namesakc.
"Slim" Hill.
Gardettc pitched well for the Lyn-
don team. The lanEy catcher, y \.
Pierce, did good work although he
had to handle many bad balls. The
infield played with a "snap' while the
outGeld failed to shine at all.
Napoleon Mayo umpired the game
at the plate while his brother Charlie
made the decisions on the bases.
"Polv" was very fair in his decisions
behind the bat although on one or
two occasions the Lyndon team pro-
cecded to offer objections and one
player even went 50 far as TO
"thleaton' him, but despite all of this
Mayo refused to be frightened.
