BASEBALL
The academy baseball team has
most favorably opened it's season by
winning it's first four games. The
23d Of April johnson High was beat
en- 12 to and the boys began to show
their hitting ability. On the 29th,
Craftsbury was overwhelmed "a to 2
making up for the defeats admins
tered by them in basket ball. We'd
nesday, May a, North Troy High hit
the dust to- 1 in a beautiful we'll
played game before a small crowd of
faithfuls. Saturday, May 7th, B. A.
journeyed to North Troy and took an
exciting game by the score of 10 to
9 before an enthusiastic crowd of
students and townspeople.
Carter, captain, has. pitched superb
ly and rates as one of the best school
boy twirlers in northern Vermont.
Valley has caught well and improves
steadily with every game. Smith at
first base is the same reliable and his
long hits have been a feature of the
games. Comstock takes to second
basing and is ably supported at
short stop by Mike" Hanson, who
mas one of the best whips seen in
many day. Mudgett, who plays
,hird, when Carter is twirling. has
shown by his work in the box that he
an twirl a creditable game. Cor.
lish has shown much hitting ability
MS year and covers lots of ground in
eft. Buchanan is regular big
Lacquer in center and is a tower of
strength. Allen and Lewis are break
ing in at the right field and are i'm
proving with experience.
The students and townspeople have
supported the games poorly and it
is hoped that the attendance will be
better in the remaining games.

week; on Saturday. Derby academy
comes here.

when he caught one on the. trade
mark and gave it a ride for three
bases. Then Smith and Cornish fol-
