He had been with the road only

ready to render any service to
others.

FAIRBANKS A A.
BEATEN TWICE
ON TRIP NORTH
Vitty's Fine Pitching Is
Spoiled By Errors at
SherbrOOke

Faced by the the tantalizing
pitches OF McKinnon, ex-Nova
Scotia and McGill University
athelete, the Fairbanks A. A. of
st. Johnsbury could collect but six
scattered hits at Magog Sunday.
With their heavy artillery silenc-
ed at critical times, by the nervy
twirling of the Canadian slabber,
the Hoernleites were forced to
swallow their second bitter dose
7 to 3 on their international trip.
Sherbrooke, aided and abetted by
the errors of St. Johnsbuy, had
captured the Saturday fracas by
4 registrations to 3.
In letters bold, and craven in
the minds of all the fans in at
tendance, tn hattle at Magog will
go down in history as one of the
most hectic ever fought on that
classic soil.
So warm was the struggle wag-
ed that four umpires had to be
used to handle the game. Two
arbiters that failed to give gen
eral satisfaction fell by the way
side Mr. Stock of Magog pre-
sided throughout behind the plate,
but brother Gendron, VINO held
down a titular position on the
bases, was elected from the con-
test and the Scaletown's own, Os-
car Beck, given chance to ex-
ercise his prerogative as base
arbiter. Oscar pronounced one de-
cision-in favor of st. Johnsbury,
and he too, was escorted to the
side-lines. Then friend Boucher,
picked up the tousled threads of
authority where Oscar had left
them, and finished out the fracas
without serious injury to his life,
liberty or pursuit of happiness.
To make the contest more hec-
tic-if that were possible-Jack
Maloney, popular and spectacular
guardian of the middle cushion for
the locals stopped a nasty hopping
grounder with his right orb, which
was Immediately buttoned up.
Pender, the Nagog first sacker hit
fast bounder toward second in
the third stanza. Jack went after
the ball which decided to take an
ugly leap. 1t was felded by Tom
my Grieve, who forced McKinnon
at second. Maloney was compelled
to leave the game, old reliable
Ralph Bracket going to the for
mer's position while Coach
Hoernle again hung onto himself
the bird cage.
The Magog boys started in
early to pluck out their scores.
Pender drove in two runs in the
opening stanha by a we'll directed
duosack to left field. Kenney had
gone to first via felder's choice
and McKinnon had singled cleanly
past third base. Both the latter
walked in with the first two tai
lies.

banks pushed over couple mark
