ABOUT EVERYTHING
SEEN ON FIELD
During Hectic Encounter
at Lincoln Campus
Saturday

There was a near funeral on tn
Lincoln campus Saturday afternoon
The Brookfeld nine furnished the dea'
men, while the n. D. Phelps team
kindly acted as pail bearers the great
er part of the ceremony. The only
drawback to the complete success o.
the affair was the apparent unwilling
ness of the corpses to play dead more
than eight innings. Consequently they
rose and made valiant attempt tc
reverse the positions of the two oppos.
ing bodies, but unsuccessfully. When
the smoke of the conflict rolled away
the final count was 0 to s, the local
team remaining in the lead.
Though there was but little real
baseball shown during the two and a
half hours of play; there was a suffi-
cheney of everything else. Every other
inning the Barre team would stage a
track meet. When the visitors tired of
watching the races, walking compe-
tition was put under way, with Hall,
the Brookfeld pitcher, directing the
contestants. When both of these failed
to get away with the fans, some la.
crosse, tennis and basketball was in
PRODUCED into the program. In fact, it
was a grand and glorious hodge podge
of every sport known to the civilized
world, and little besides.
In the first inning the Phelps per.
formers annexed two couners, After
Marchessi had grounded out Slayton
reached first on an error by SHARON,
took second when the latter threw
wild to first, and then stole third. BIZ
anchi started on walking tour and
stole second, advancing to third min
ute later on a wild pitch, Slayton scor-
ing at the same time. Giacherio famed,
but Watt scored Bianchi with single
over second.
In the second frame Baldwin reached
ond when Hall threw wild in an at
tempt to catch him off first Halvosa
sacrificed, sending his teammate TO
third, where he scored from minute
later on Msrchessi's single.
Brookfeld made a game attempt TO
keep up the pace for the first two in
nings, and succeeded for just that
length OF time. Sprague doubled to
center, and scored when Giacherio
threw wild to first TO catch Smith,
the latter going to second one the play,
and then TO third when Watt mussed
up Halls grounder. A wild pitch
scored Smith and ended the scoring
for the inning

and a wild throw Melted Brookfeld
one more score, but thereafter they
dropped into a lethargic existence for
;ix innings, garnering only two count
FRS while their opponents stacked up
i've.
In the seventh inning BrookfieId
staged its hilarious game of basket
,all, allowing the hardware merchants
o score twice during the ten minute
,eriod.
The out Of town contingent fur |
lished their last thrill in the ninth, |
nd for a time the Phelps men were
Ineasy, and with good reason. Smith |
ingled but was forced at second by
he locals, and he proceeded TO blow
p gioriously for a short time. A
assed ball let Hall down to second.
harrow dumped a fly beyond short
top and was safe at first, Hall hold
ng his base. Bianchi hit Swain and
he bases were full with only one
own. Slayton' proceeded TO muss up
n easy grounder and Hall scored, the
ases remaining full. Bianchi pounded
fletcher in the back for the second
me during the game, and another run
anne across the plate. Bianchi made
lid pitch and Swain counted. This
ompleted the scoring for the game.
