putting things on an even basis,
the third game should prove an
overwhelming attraction. The
third game will be staged at the
Old Firground inn Newport and
with interest running at such a
high pitch the crowd should break
all records 1t is quite certain that
St. Johnsbury will be represented
by a good bunch of loyal support
ers. The date of the game is July
20. By this time both teams will
be at the peak of their playing
and mighty close contest may be
expected.
King Bader did we'll on the
mound, but it was the belief of
most of the fans that Witty would
have done equally as well had he
been given the pitching assign
ment. One thing in his favor was
the fact that his delivery was a
complete mystery in that he sell
dom threw what the batter ex-
pected. He used his "emery ball"
to good effect. Only six hits
We're garnered off Bader and half
of these were scratches, but un-
fortunate errors and his own spas
modic wildness worked against
him.
In spite of that fact that New
port added two more runs in their
half of the ninth stanza, the game
was put on ice by the visitors in
the fourth inning when three
runs crossed the pan. just a one
run lead meant great deal to
Mr.. Shelton for he "pitched his
head off, until the last frame
when he was rooted from the
mound and the heavy burden was
shifted to Connie Kirwan's
shoulders.
Bader famed Browne and Be-
wer the first two men to face him
in the initial session, but Brady
was safe on Palmer's error of his
hot grounder. Tryon drew a pass
but Kennison forced Brady at
third, Maher unassisted.
Conner opened the locals half
with a walk and Palmer also walk
ed. Maher hit a sharp grounder
between first and second base and
Palmer was just awkward enough
to collide with the ball and of
course as automatically out. Maher
was credited. with a base hit. Con-
nor had made his way home but
was sent back to second This
piece of hard luck contributed
| largely to St. Johnsbury's defeat,
In the last of the third Bader
opened with a short fly just back
of first which Maloney could not
spear. He went to second on
passed ball. Connor sent a long
fly to left field, but Palmer was
passed for a second time. Koran
was very unsteady and Maher
walked. Starr stood up at the
plate welding a wicked looking
blugeon and the sight of the slug
ger must have had some effect on
Newport's "ace" for he hit the
backstop and the bases were cram
med. Thus Bader was forced in.
To cap the climax Golmley was
presented with a gift and Palmer
walked home. This settled Horan's
"hash" and puffy" Mr.. Shelton
was sent into rescue his team from
anniMlation. SHELTON must have
mounted the slab with horseshoe
around his neck for Richereli met
one of his fast ones square on the
nose and ball went whistling into
left, but Tryon made fine run
ming shoestring catch and robbed
Clutch" of hit.
This exceptional piece of fielding
on the part of the husky left gard
ener cost Fairbanks at least two
runs. Martin was the third out on
fast play, Kennison to Maloney.
Then came the memorable
fourth inning in which Captain
Ross made himself "the man of the
hour" bv his smashing drive. Bader
can blame only himself for start
ing the visitors on the road to
