AN EVEN BREAK
ON DIAMOND
East Barre and Barre Le-
gion Divided Honors
at Intercity
POOR PLAYING
WAS FREQUENT
But There Was Plenty of
Action at the
Bat

Despite their large backing in the
Grand stand, the East Barre team
could grab but one of the two games
from the Legion representatives at In
tercity park yesterday. They bagged
the morning fight, four to two, but let
the afternoon struggle get away IRON
them 10 to four.
Over l,500 people were present for
the afternoon fray, by far the best
crowd that has attended ball game
in Barre this season, and they saw
some of the best ball that has been
played here this year The Legion team
showed up to particularly good advan-
tage. when it is considered that this is
their first appearance since early IN the
summer.
East Barre copied the first game in
the first two innings scoring three
runs on wild playing on the part of the
home team. But for that the final re-
suit would most assllredly have had a
khaki tinge to it, As 1t was, the lie
zion team was always dangerous
Giacherio played whale OF game
at the bat, with a double and homer
out of two times at bat. incidentally,
he was the means of scoring both the
Legion's runs, driving in O'Leary ahead
of him on his circuit clout.
The second game was Legion all the
way after the fourth inning, when
they garnered run, added four to 1T
in the following frame, and picked five
Others up during the remaining times
al bat. The visitors threatened with
one in the sixth and three in the sew
enth, but they were only flashes and
died out quickly. Clarity was the out
standing figure at bat in this game,
connecting three times out of FIVE trips
to the plate, driving in two runs and
scoring two himself His game In the
field was pretty one, also.
The credit for the best catch OF the
day must go 70 Slayton, in the morn
ing game, when he raced from deep
center to left in the fourth inning and
gathered W. Dobbs' long fly off his
shoe tops, making the third out of the
innings and so keeping Gray from scor-
ing.
The First Game.
There were about 500 persons on
hand for the morning game. East Barre
went to bat first w. Dobbs dumped a
short fly beyond first and took second
on a passed ball, third on wild pitch,
and scored on J. Roark's sacrifice after
D. Dobbs had flied to Marchesi. In the
second frame r. Lowrey singled and
stole. r Roarke was safe at first when
OIeary threw wild on the play TO
catch him at the sack and Lowrey
scored A wild pitch allowed Roarke to
get 10 third and he scored minute
later on his brothers sacrifice.
The Legion boys got their two
scores. OLeary drew pass and came
in ahead of Giaeherio when the latter's
drive cleared the wire fence in deep
center field. These were their only
scores of the game, and though they
were dangerous afterwards with men
on base they lacked the necessary
punch TO bring them in.
After the second inning the local
players frightened up in the field, and
no score came across the plate until
the sixth. when f. Roarke drew a
walk, stole second and came home on
McCharty's wild throw to catch him
going down to third. That completed
the scoring for the game.
