Reigned Supreme
AS early as o'clock the stands
commenced to HI and so minutes
before game time every seat had
been taken. Those who came after
were forced to take the best place
they could get on the edges Of the
diamond. There must have been
at least $50 automobiles parked on
the grounds and the immediate
vicinity. 1t was by far the largest
gathering that ever attended ball
game here.
The fans, who came early, saw
some heavy hitting and some
clever fielding during practice.
| Connie Kirwin served the ban for
the Newporters. Tesreau connect
ed with one of the south winged
offerings and sent it sailing many
| feet above the left field fence the
! ball landing about 20 feet the
other side Of the enclosure. Tryon
sent one into right field that would
! have been good for a homer.
"Chip" Stenson acted as official
announcer, giving the batteries
and umpires and telling the folks
about Saturdays game.
The st. Johnsbury players were
given a big hand as they trotted
onto the diamond
1t was noticeable to all that
Captain Ross of the visiting team
was a sick man. He showed lots
of courage TO take part in the big
! contest.
Davies fumbled Snyder's roller
in the first but quickly recovered
the ball and threw the runner out.
Mclaughlin made a fine pick up.
"Chick" also did nice work on NAL
oney's bunt, retiring his at first.
Many fans "razzed' Tesreau
upon his first appearance on the
slab. But such booing would
hardly have much effect on a man
who has pitched before worlds
series audiences.
Bower made a peach of catch
of RicherelPs fly by running into
right field after it. Bowers met
hod of fielding is a peculiar one.
1t appears almost always as
though he was to tumble the ball,
but, ii is said, he has not made
an error this season.
Williams made a close decision
at second when St. Angelo pegged
to Conlon to catch Bower. Brainey
made a very clever slide but it
looked as though Jocko had him.
Tesreau had the number of Con-
ner and Maher alright. "Puss'
famed three times and Mahar
twice.
A foul ball off Richereli's bat
landed on the arm of little boy
in the third base bleachers.> The
lad was hurt painfully but not
seriously.
The fans saw some rather weird
base running on the Fairbanks
side.
Members of the fair sex from
both towns sported some rather
brilliant sweaters. All colors of the
rainbow could be seen.
Richereli covered first on two
occasions when bunts were antici-
pated. "Dutch" certainly plays the
game.
As usual Chief of Police Finley
and his OFFICERS and Sheriff Wor-
then and his deputies did an excel.
lent job in handling the big crowd.
The traffic regulations were fin
ally carried out and the hundreds
of cars from out of town were
easily handled.
All hands on deck to cheer the
home boys to victory at Newport
on the fourth game of the series
at Newport next Wednesday, On
Saturday, the Goth, Newport plays
a return game here. The following
Saturday a game is played at New
port and the if there is tie and
let US hope there will be, the final
match will be played on neutral
grounds on Saturday, Sept. Sd.
The bulletin board service of the
Caledonian-Record in front of its
home Office in st. Johnsbury and
the Newport Office in the Root
block at Newport was praised by
the fans who could not get away
to attend the oame. A big crowd |
assembled on Main street. New
port, and wa ched the bulletin
board service that came direct |
from the grounds at st. Johnsbury. |
A newspaper office is certainly n
busy place while big game is on |
Hundreds Of telephone calls came |
