patched from both camps to the
effect that only members of Nthe
regular pitching staff will be used
in the third game of the big New
port-St. Johnsburv baseball series,
the belief still pesists among the
"wise ones" that both Managers
Charles Hoernle and C. H. Davis
are planning to spring surprises
on the fans at the Campus here
tomorrow afternoon. Both leaders
today asserted that no change
would be made in their line-ups,
but inspite of these declarations
supporters of bo.h aggregations
are looking forward to seeing
Outsiders" on the mound.
(, Manager Davis, in an interview
with Perley Hill, Newport cores
pondent of the Caledonian-R ecord,
opined that it was poor business
, hiring one particular star to per-
form with collection of men who
have played together all season. In
his talk with the scribe he had lots
of praise for Big Joel Shelton,
twirling "ace" of the Newport
outfit and as a result of this laud
alton of the home pitcher, it was
taken by the fans here that Skel-
ton would be Mr.. Davis selection
of duty on the hill in the big
| contest.
A rumor, circulated aroun1
Newport, and which reached the
ears of the sporting fans here, car
ried the information that the bor-
der city management was seeking
the services of Ray Fisher, one of
Pat Moran's star beavers in me
1919 worlds series. Fisher has
not been with the big show this
season and was reported to be
playing Independent ball. Whether
there is anything to this report Is
only a matter of conjecture, But
the belief is general that a pitcher
will be secured although he may
be kept in reserve.
1t was intimated today from
Newport that SHELTON would start
the game and if everything was
serene he would be retained in the
contest. And it was thought pos
sible that Manager Hoernle would
take a chance and send in Eddie
Goode or Clarence Witty to open
the fracas. 1t was announced
from a source supposed to be close
to gthe management that "Chick"
Davies or some other star wouli
be on hand to take over the rein5
in case the regulars got into
trouble.
But outside of the pitching pro-
position it is a foregone conclus-
ion that the game, in which the
tie is to be broken, will be "some"
affair and all attendance records
are expected to be broken. No
change will be made in the admis-
sion prices, which is a very good
policy for the management to fol-
low.
The game will get under wav at
3.15 and undoubtedly the rush tor
vantage points will begin early
The gates will be thrown open at
2.30. The Fairbanks factory will
be closed early in order to allow
all of the employees to see the
game.
Further news that trickled down
from Newport at noon today had
1t that jeff Treaseau, who several
years ago was one of Jawn Nc
Graw's best right hand pitchers,
has been secured to pitch for New
port. Terseau has not been with
the Giants for nearly five years
and it was a well known fact that
his ability was declining during
he last year or so he was associ-
ated with the New York team.
Terseau has coached the Dart
mouth Varsity team during the
past two seasons and has been
very successful in that capacity
Blu. it is not expected here that he
will prove much of a puzzle to the
heavy hitting st. Johnsbury play
ers. 1t was understood today that
he had already reached Newport
and would for certainty pitch to-
morrow's game.
Manager Hoernle has communi-
Gated with three different pitchers
but as yet has received no definite
reply. 1t is believed, however,
that "Chick" Davies will be the
man if he can get away. 1t is pos
sible that should Davies be unable
to come here that King Bader or
Al Pierotti, who was with the
Braves at the start of the present
season, will do the chucking for
Fairbanks
