stood out in effective contrast.
His finest work will be remem-
bered in the St. Johnsbury game
at st. Johnsbul'y, where the little
master stepped onto the mound
with the bases replote and pulled
his team mates out of the fire. He
did the same thing against the
Boston Tigers last Saturday. Ger
tainly by his heady and nervy
pitching, he has earned the title OF
"The Little Master"
Connie had but one bad inning
on Wednesday at the Old Fair
grounds. This was in the sixth,
when the visitors seemed to be
hitting in luck. for they were get
ting on base clouts by slapping
meager clouts Just out of reach of
the inner border city Gordon. Mat
thews, the first man up, in this
stanza drove the pellet through
shortstop. Hunt singled to right
but was thrown at second when
he attempted to pilfer that bag.
Ginger Bruce, who is filling
very creditably the shoes OF Wally
Kopf at third base, cut off a run
by one Of the most spectacular
stops ever seen here in Newport.
Fisk slashed one a mile minute
down the third base line. 1t was
safe hit Ginger pounced upon
the sphere checking it with his
bare hand. Matthews who was
getting set to score was shooed
back to third.
Groyeton was not to be denied
couple scores, for Matthews
finally tailed when Chase singled
over the keystone sack. Fisk scor-
ed a moment later as Brainy Be-
wer was tossing out Langley at
first. In all other frames, Connie
Kirwan had the visitors eating out
of his left hand.
The many local admirers of big
Fred Maloney were tickled We'd
neSday afternoon by the rough
shod manner with which he applied
the ash to the pellet. Nal met the
ball squarely on every trip to the
rubber, and in five times up, cred
tied himself with four safe hits
a splendid boost to his batting av-
erage. The stalwart first sacker
included among his wallops q
two-bagger.
The longest hits of the game
game were contributed BY the two
University of Vermont ball toss
ers in the Wednesday lineup. In
the fifth Connie Kirwan selected
ball to his liking and drove it far
into center field for triple, which
he marley stretched into home
run. Benny Tryon, the cleanup
man also waited out a three ply
clout in the sixth stanza.
An erroneous report was circu-
lated to the effect that Manager
Charles H Davis was recuperating
from illness. The genial baseball
enthusiast was present at the
game on Wednesday afternoon and
was in his usually jovial mood.
He discredited all rumors that he
was to sever his connection with
the Newport baseball club. For
a short time, the managerial reins
are being taken up by one of the
directors Of the Newport Baseball
A ssociation-John A.. Prou;y. Mr..
Davis is spending a short vacation
at Potion Springs, P. Q.
His interest in the national pas
time is so great that he could not
overcome the temptation to motor
over Wednesday to see his charges
again in action. SO he sat in his
favoIite seat by the bench of the
local ball tosserS, and chatted
away between innings with mis-
friends. After his brief vacation,
he will again resume his place at
he head of the local baseball re-
gime and all fans in st. Johnsbury
as we'll as in Newport, can rest as
sured that the same high class
game of baseball will be dealt out
as previously. He awaits with es-
pecial interest the coming series
with 81. Johnsbury.
