for Ball TOSsers
Continued from Page /

Newport supporters to see their
good old st. Johnsbury rivals put
1t over them as was done last
Friday. The results of this game
are really what stimulated the de-
termination to make a few shifts
that would strengthen the morale
as well as the work of the border
city team. Manager John Prouty
very definitely promises certain
changes which, effected as soon as
possible, will give st. Johnsbury
something to worry about. On
the other hand, the confidence born
Of three straight victories gives
the scale town swatters an assur-
ance which cannot easily be punct-
ured. Wednesdays game between
the two rivals is awaited with
keen interest, and today nine good
men in Lyndonville uniforms are
testing the ability of Newport.
More than usual Importance is
going to be attached to the way
Newport acquits herself this after
noon, but as a matter of fact it
seems impossible to expect the ar
rival Of certain new players until
tomorrow at the very earliest.
NeWport's game at Sherbrooke
last Saturday was another disap-
pointment to the Border City fans.
Nels Browne and Brainy Bower,
two good men beyond a question
of doubt have been released. Steve
poran presided at second base in
the Sherbrooke game, while Calf
ney, a boy from Mansfield, Mass,
held right field. Steve and Calf
ney were each credited with two
hits. Gaffney had no demands
made upon his fielding ability, so
his work will be closely watched
and judged according to its merits
III his future performances.
Viewpoints four run rally in the
ninth against Sherbrooks, when
Captain Laird's men batted once
around and each secured a hit,
proves the old fighting spirit still
/ lives in the team, even when odds
are heavy against them. The
| oNOlt W innings III saturday ;
game at Sherbrooke was:
Newport / 3 0 O 0 0 A 9
Sherb'ke 0 o 4 A 3 0 3 0 0-14
Newport hopes to take revenge
upon Sherbrooke when the two
teams meet again at Newport on
Thursday. From now on oppon-
ents of the border city team have
got to hustle to keep from biting
the dust. The management re-
grets that it cannot make more
definite announcements for today's
publication regarding the shifts
which are underway, but a DAY or
two will clear the whole situation.
Soon there will probably also be
important announcements to make
regarding the reorganization of the
Border league.
