bare facts Awe get the whole story, which is that our heroes are 9Lbrciless Lbnsters at the plate ,ana WBab- bling Babes in the fie1d.n But the boys are willing to forget all this bunk about errors and start a new leaf out there in :he field. at C LITTLE MISS NANCY nNow how in thunder?n Little Liss Nancy Took to her fancy To run away one day. So she slipped out of the house As still as a mouse - And went on her merry way. She came to a brook, And there she took ' Her shoes and stockings off, and She made her shoes into boats And set them to float, Uhile she sat back in t e sand. She hung her dress on a So that she tree Might be able to swim awhile. The water was cold But she was bold So she plunged in with a smile. While she was bathing, A bull, and was he raving! Came straight for Miss Nannyfafred dress. She stood there in wonder, But I'll leave you to guess the rest.

On May 18 the T. -Qi, ne gave a fairlaccount of it- self by downing the lrfghtcn forces 7 to 5. Though the game was played under adverse conditions both teams played a fair brand of ball, with they revamped red infield giving an erratic but promising performance. Burkewitz silenced the Island Pond guns with 4-hit pitching while the home forces collected 10, 5 of Hnse exploding off the bat of Kennison, who had a field day at the plate getting 5 for 5, one of these a circuit smash with Grant on base, a 2-base shot and asingle. All in all the game was a rather heartening one. Not so very heartenlng was the S to 6 defeat handed the Orleans aggression on Hay 22 by the Derby Green Have, even though the home team outhit the opposition, their sloppy showing afield did the trick. After taking a 5-O lead Orleans was overtaken and left behind by the Uernerites 8 to 5. Despite 2 good innings our boys' rally fell short and when the action stopped the Reds were on the short end of the count. The only bright spots of the game were Burkewlt:'s effective relief hurling and Grant's heavy stick-worn fthe Orleans back- stop collecting 4 for 52. The Barton encounter proved to he one of those long drawn-out affairs with Orleans swamping their cousins 15 to 5. It was a well-earned victory for Kennison for he twirled 5-hit ball, good enough to win any ball game, that combined with a vicious 13-hit barrage QL. Lambert paving the way with 4 singles! brought home the bacon. The usual overshadowing gloom of the game was the flock of errors committed by the boys, our lads making no less than ll miscues which accounted for the largest share of Barton's runs. After this game the Red Rapier is set- tling down to real business when they meet the always dangerous Craftsbury outfit. The Commoners turned out to be a rather soft touch for the visiting Rapier who bowled them over 8 to 4 not leaving out, of course, their now habitual errors, I the June 1 game produced 7 more bobbles. Orleans was not long in solving pitcher Marckres' offerings. Even though he was being hit savagely throughout the game the blue and white moundsman managed to hold out until the eighth where he was replaced by giant 220 lb. 6 ft. 2 in. Bob Twiss who allowed 2 more hits for the rest of the contest. Credit must be given Bud Burkewitz who sailed in on 8-hit pitching, whiffing 12 batters. With this game out of their :ay the boys were fac- ing the following facts. They have committed no less than 5 errors a game on an avera-e, for the staggering total of Sl misplays, leaving out :he costly errors of judgment they have made. But now looking at our ball club from the aggressive side we find they have outhit the other teams 82 to 55 for 87 total runs as against 24 for the opposition. Therefore, by looking at these
