NEWPORT HIGH
TRIMS BARTON
IN OPENER AZ
Clean But Solitary Hit
Off Slants Of Captain
Slim" Hill

In a cold heavy wind at Barton
Saturday afternoon, the Barton
Academy baseball team was de
feated 4 to 2 by Newport high.
Considering the poor baseball
weather, the game was exception
ally fast. The hitting of both
teams was off color but the Bar
ton boys found Hill more difficult
to solve than Mudgett was for
Newport. Barton garnered only
one hit off "Slim" while N. H. s.,
found Mudgett for four. Both
pitchers were wild due undoubt-
ably to the cold weather.
The new Newport material
showed their wares for the first
time and accounted for themselv-
es creditably. Dodge, the fresh
man catcher held "Slim" we'll and
before the season is over he ought
to make name for himself. The
infeld showed remarkable power,
with Prouty's many assists help
ing to hold Barton > tallies loE.
The outfelders were not given
much of a chance to show what
they could do, as the only outfeld
fly nestled into the waiting glove
o. Cnet Litchtield. Larry Gardner
veteran of two years, is expected
out this week and he will be a big
asset to the intield. "Slm" Hill
will be on the mound again We'd
nesday against Richford.
