SHERBROOKE
TAKES SECOND
GAME BY II TO 6
Fairbanks A. A. Baseball
Team Meets Defeat
at LittletOn

NOOuJ Ddu anu llulIleIeHL DdSC-
ball was provided yesterday for
the Littleton. populace, anticipat-
ory of championship playing by
the representative American and
Canadian teams. The Littleton
military band was in full force, a
scmi-holiday was in effect, Remicll
Park was thronged with its quota
OF fans, fappers and summer
people, but the Fairbanks A. A. of
ST. Johnsbury and of the United
States could not stem the fusillade
of foreign hits and surrendered to
Sherbrooke of the Dominion of
Canada IL to 6.
Reports that the Canadians
were in a batting slump were
greatly exaggerated. They fatteh-
ed their swatting averages by
bombarding two St. Johnsbury
pitchers for 16 hits, for a total of
% bases. Cuddy Murphy was
selected to slab for Fairbanks A.
A. but it early became evident that
his salary whip is not in shape.
Cuddy's lame wing, supplemented
by erratic. support in the initial
stanza contrived to choke the
bases. Ralph jenkins then swept
them clean with a hard -whacked
two-baser to left field. Cuddy went
out of the game.
Cuddy's retirement from the
contest only goes to show the ups
and downs of baseball. One day a
player is a hero and the next day
His star playing may be forgotten.
The first part of the present sea-
son, Cuddy twirled practically in
vincible ball. He defeated Sher-
brooke on the latter's own dia-
mond, and later he flung two great
games against Newport, winning
both
But on Saturday, August ),
Cuddy's arm went bad following
the eleven inning game at Burling-
ton, which he lost to d. When
the game was about half over,
rain interviewed. Play was re-
sumed after nearly an hour of re-
spite and then Cuddy cssayed to
finish the contest. He managed
to hold down the Burlington swat
ters pretty well, but his arm
caught cold and has not been nor
NAL since.
Arthur Kelley was thrust into
the box from right field and order
ed to pitch, after Cuddy went out
yesterday. Kennison greeted kel
with a single down the third base
line, and Giboin scored r. Jen-
kins and Kennison with a two
hagger to center. Sherbrooke
thus got running, a leaplng
start by bagging six runs in the
opening chapter.
Kelley heaved very creditable
ball during the stanzas intervening
intervening up to the seventh. He
went into the box practically cold
from the field, allowed but one hit
III the second, none in the third,
one in the fourth, and one each in
the fifth and sixth. Landry's home
run in the sixth came with no one
on base, and in reality it should
never have gone as a homer.
Proper ground rules should have
provided against a ball becoming
lost among the automobiles in left.
In the seventh, the former
Lyndonvillc star was hit some
what harder, being found for
three singles, and for three more
b ffs in the eighth. Some of these
saf chits, would have been easy
outs on smooth diamond, but
time after time, the bounding
agate would take a bad hop and
get by vigilant Fairbanks infield-
cr.
Collecting a run in the second,
fourth, and sixth chapters, the
Canadians added two more for
good measure in eighth, making
their quota for the day II. Sher-
brooke now has the edge on
Fairbanks with a start of two
games to one for the nine game
series scheduled between these two
rivals.
Kio Granai, who slung the pill
for Manager Povey, was banged
hard throughout the game, but
stuck to his ship until the end and
was finally rewarded with victory.
Tommy Gricve saluted him with
double right off the reel, and
Hoernle sacrificed him to third,
whence he scored on Maloney's
sacrificial hoist to Giboin. Butler
! landed on first as a result of Il
! boot by Savage and completed the
circuit, aided by consecutive mon
osacks by Mclaughlin and Kelley.
