FAIRBANKS A.
IS VICTORIOUS
OVER BARTON
Downey Toys With Bat
ters While Daley Is Hit
Hard-ScOre 10 to 2

Towering Jerry" Daley OF no
hit-no run fame was two innings
late in gettinr his old arm a2olng
right at Roaring Brook Park ami
as a result the Barton base ball
club was an easv victim of the
Fairbanks A. A. outfit Friday af-
ternoon. The final score of 10 to
2 might have been considerably
larger had the boys played with
determination. But with such a
commanding lead the st. Johns
bury ball tossers took things rather
easy in lieu of their important
contest with Newport this after
noon.
alexander the Great Downey
and Arthur Jocko Conlon perform
ed mound duty for the Fairbanks
team, Jocko pitching the last two
innings. Alex had all kinds of stuff
but, without occasion TO use it,
held it for future use. He yielded
but six hits during his reign of
seven frames while the stellar
short stop was absolutely miserly
with his safe bingles, allowing
nary a one. He was wild enough
to walk a single batter.
After the second stanZa Daley,
except for spasmodic wildness,
plodded along without much fur
ther trouble. His delivery had de-
veloped into more or less of puZ
zle for he was nieked for but two
hits, as many runs resulting. 1t is
true that the ST. Johnsbury boys
were not trying very hard to fat
ten their batting averages but at
that Jerry" had them pretty well
fooled.
Despite the one-sidedness of the
fracas the fans enjoyed the affair
because of the humorous stuff
staged by the visiting athletes.
Each man as he went to bat cam
in for his full share of Kidding.
The burlesque stuff went a long
way toward making an otherwise
uninteresting game fascinating.
The st. Johnsbury boys showed
lots of "pep" in the field.
Three errors were made in the
field by Fairbanks. Two of these
were muffs on the part of the usu-
al errorless Mclaughlin while the
other was a wild throw from the
field by Eddie Goode. The Bar
tonites committed four miscues.
Kid Heath, Joe Snyder, Smith and
Ted Lee each faltering once. In
spite of his bobble the venerable
old veteran Kid looks almost as
good as of yore.
Fuller Martin, playing in center
field for St. Johnsbury, had a fine
day. He made two nice catches
and knocked out two hits in five
time up. Goode effected three put
outs in right, one of them a parti-
cularly difficult catch. Bracket
also had three. Conlon and Rich
erelli were kept busy at short
and second. "Dutchy" slipped up
once when he had fine chance to
complete a double play but by
quickly recovering his equilibrium
he was successful in throwing out
Sullivan when the latter made a
daring attempt to steal home.
Carter and Sullivan played er-
rorless ball at short and second
and Snyder and Dubois were very
much on the lob in the field.
Smith, in spite of his apparent
nervousness, did we'll AZ the initial
sack.
After Fairbanks had piled up six
runs in the opening they came
right back in the second with
severe attack scoring two runs on
hits by Starr, Lees error of Brac-
kctt's long flv McLaughlin's sec
one hit and bigle number two by
Martin. The eighth saw two more
markers, resulting from a pass to
Conlon. STAIRS third wallop and Il
nice hit to center by Bracket.
Barton scored one in the second.
Daley was safe when Mclaughlin
muffed Rieherelli's throw, went to
second on Dubois hit to left. Car
ter walked. T. Lee hit to Conlon,
