sleep in spite of tina fireworks pe-
cause he greatly surprised the vast
audience by getting three safe hit,
one of them for an extra base.
or course this may be just a false
alarm but here's hoping that Sam
has found his batting eye, which a
| the box score reveals, has been lot
practically all season.
| Witty had two bad sessions
but ASIDE from these he was almost
inyincible. Only seven hits were
! cleaned from his superb delivery,
these divided amongst four Sher-
brooke players. He exhibited re-
markable control, pulling out Of
bad holes unscathed and allowing
only one base On balls. For the
last FIVE innings only two Sher-
brooke athletes were able to solve
his Offering, both Of these being
lnfield singles.
In strange contrast Gaudet APP
peared not TO have a thing on the
ball. Hardly once did he use any
thing but a slow ball, which he
lust lobbed over. He caused only
one man to strike out.
After Savage had famed, Laun-
! dry was safe when Common drop
ped rs short, but difficult fly. He
stole second and came home when
White doubled to right. MolyneuX
sent a long hit to right on which
he made his way around TO third
while White tailed. The first
sacker was called out by the UNI
pire for failing to touch second.
| With two long whacks off him The
outlook for Witty was far from
bright, but he frightened up and
had the Canadians eating out OF
| his hand for the rest of the game,
although errors on two occasions
put him in bad situations.
st. Johnsbury tailed once III
each of the first three frames. In
the initial stanza Palmer placed a
single in the infield and went to
second on an error from where he
counted on Stars double to right.
In the second round Hoelnle walk
ed. Morrison sent a hot one
through short which was juggled
by the left fielder and Charlie
scored. In the third Palmer re-
ceived a ticket to first, was sacri-
feed to second by Mahcr, Gaudet
to Molyneux, and scored when
Starr singled to right. Bernie
took second on the throw to the
plate.
Sherbrooke counted once in the
fourth although the indications
were that The visitors were due to
score more than that. White
opened with a single to right.
Molyneux flied TO Maher. Baker
sent sharp roller to Maher,
who made a fine stop and equally
fine throw to Palmer who let the
ball go through him. The error
allowed White to reach second
and spoil the chances for a double
play. The miacue started trouble
for Charter laid down a safe bunt.
Witty was slightly upset by the
poor support and passed Moulton,
forcing in White. Gaudet hit
harp one to Morrison but Baker
was retired at the plate on fine
throw. Savage struck out for the
third successive time.
st. Johnsbury tailed twice in the
fifth, sixth and eighth innings. In
the fifth Maher walked and scored
on Stars second two bagger. Ber-
ME scored on Richereli's single, In
the next frame Morrison double
to left was sacrificed by Witty to
third. Conner walked and stole
second. Laundry made q wild pee
to White in an endeavor to catch
Morrison off the bag, Morrison and
Conner both scoring. Palmer ana
Maher both laid down singles
which were unproductive of runs.
In the eighth Puss singled through
short, was sacrificed to second by
Palmer and scored on Mahei''s
double to center. Starr walked.
Gornley singled through short and
Maher crossed the plate.
Maher batted for 1000. He laid
down two sacrifices, was passed
once and made two pretty hits.
Stars perfect average was spoiled
when Charter robbed him of a hit
by spearing his whistling line
drive over second. Palmer also
missed 1000 when Thormahlen
copied his long fly to center.
