ARE STEADY ONCE MORE Barre-Montpelier Landed At Intercity Park PLATTSBURG'S DOWNED la Pretty Game of Ball Home Team Scorei a 2 to I Victory With Fine Pitching. After a brief sojurn in the error realm, which was rudely taken advantage of by St. Albans on Thursday, the Barre-Montpelier bunch of ball players landed on terra firma again yesterday at Intercity park, and Pittsburgh was the unfortunate victim to be landed on first. The Yorkers did well but they couldn't stand up against the exhibition shown by the home team, although the total scores could be counted on three fingers. The Hyphens had two of them and Plattsburg one. That does not show the superiority of the winners by any means, but the home team's score was sufficient. For Plattsbnrgh the game was one grand hoot for hits and they found only two of them of the very scratchiest order. "Bobby" Dresser who was lambasted so severely by St. Albans the day before kept them guessing for six Innings when he got a bad rap in the pitching arm and was forced to retire in favor of Sheldon. Plattsburg had the fidgets when they saw the "big fellow" going Into the box, and well they might for they scarcely got a smell of "the ball as it whizzed by; much less did they get a hit. They were put to sleep as easily as a child that has passed the teething spell. Dresser bad the game all won; Sheldon-simply held it down. The former was just a wee bit wild and one of bis two bases on bails forced in the visitors' only tally. Besides he nearly laid out Skelley with a shoot into the side of the head, just previous to making out a free ticket lor KeHou?. lhe two were costly. Five Plattsburghers fanned them selves while trving to connect with his delivery, and three more when Sheldon went into the box. McLane, a Burlinzton cast-off, who had previously troubled the I ntercitys to the extent of a defeat, was trotted out of the stable by the visitors. "Mae" pitched a creditable game in spite of being touched up for seven hits and disabling Dresser. 1 hey were far between and Couutea utue. The little Fordham man pulled out of sev eral tight boles which .ordinarily would have meant runs. And he was aided very materially by the team back of him, which as a whole put np a slick showorf in the fielding line. Cosgrove in center field committed bold robbery seven times, tak ing away some hits which looked good. This elongated edition of a patent fly-trap closed his claws on everything that came his way, and a few that were far out of his way. He closed a brilliant exhibition of fielding by catching Fleming's line drive after a long run. The lanky fielder got the hand that he deserved. Shulte at short was also after everything and one of his stops of a hot grounder by N'ash was a corker. Shulte niaae a dive tor tne nan and Just reached it witii his bare hand The effort threw him off his balance, how ever, and he couldn't get the runner 'Twas a spectacular play notwlthstand imr. The home team played a consistently strong game throughout and there were no star features to be credited to any mem ber. It was team work from start to iin ish and i"8 that which will count. Flem ing, the new man at second, seemed to be eood. He took all that came his way and also started a fast double play, in which Dorman and Burke figured. The only Plattsburcer who thought he could pUfer second fell a victim to Nash's arm, Flem ing taking the throw down. Barre-Montpelier made its two scores in the second. After Davis had got under "Sammy" Apperlous' long fly which look ed eood for two bases, Moraan got his us ual hit and went to second when Shulte made a wide throw to catch Dorman at first. Both runners were safe. Fleming worked McLane for a base on balls and Burke contributed the visiting pitcher's only strike out. With three men on base and two out Dresser came np and dropped the ball just over second which Kellogg tried for and missed. It was enough. Morgnn and Dorman crossed the nlate with the win ning runs. I'lattsburgh got her tally in the next in ning. Stroh nearly threw hiuiseii out oi olnt trying to hit the bail ana sat aown, Cosgrove hit to centerfield and would have been out on a beautiful throw by Stewart had not Burke drormed the ball. Davis scratched a measly one just over third and then Dresser had his little trouble. Skel ley dropped like a log after being hit with the ball. He was given his base and a runner substituted. Kellogg, the next man ud. worried out a base on balls and Coscrove was forced In with Plattsburg's nnlv score. Dresser settled it then and there by striking out Bottemus and indue log Daley to pop up an easy fly for Flera inir. Both teams were held safe during the remainder of the game. rturre-Montpelier. A.

Heard on the Bleacher. The Yorkers acted scared when the "big fellow" went Into the box. The home crowd has yet to see Barre- Montpelier defeated." May the day be spared us yet! Sheldon, the Hyphen crack pitcher, has signed with the L'hieago Nationals. St. Albans Messenizer. Fleming, the new man on second, does and not seem to be working very hard, still he does a good deal of work. We have a small matter to settle with will St. Albans this afternoon. Sheldon probably do the twirling for the home team. Cosgrove, the old Princeton player, picked the flies out of the atmosphere as if he were gathering ripe, luscious cher ries. Slippery Short Stop Shulte didn't need a shovel to dig out the grounders, but he scooped them up no matter where they were. Modest little noticas have been posted about the grounds, which read "Betting rictly prohibited." let several flashes of the long green were noticed. The Interoity'a pitching staff, although few, is many when it comes to sending them over. It is hoped that the rap which Dresser got on his pitching elbow will not lay him off as there is great need of him at the present time. Umptre Essenter Is credited with the following wrong deals at Rutland yester day: "Took Hays and Robertson out of the game without cause, allowed two Bur lington men to score without reason, re fused Washburn and Robertson a base when both were hit by a pitched ball; pit iful inability to distinguish between balls and strtkes did not count."

He was not released by Burlington when he pitched for Plattsburg and has never been signed by Plattsburg. Burlington's idea of square sport can be gathered when it is learned that the Burlington manage ment offered to loan Vickers to Rutland any time to defeat Montpelier-Barre. This assertion was made by one of the Rutland directors at the recent league meeting at Burlington and was not denied. Burling ton is about the poorest Imitation of a fair thing that ever came down the pike. With such men as Lawson to steal games for her, and such .umpires as Shea and the present Essenter, whose work smells fra grant of decay, it is no wonder that The Robbers win games. Some team ought to protest the games she won while Brennan played with her after his Plattsburg re lease under the seven-day clause.

Moody declined to allow his name to be presented in the Democratic convention has set to talking the delegates to that convention. A member of the Democratic county com mittee asserted to the Times last evening that Mr. Moody had consented to run if nominated before his name was presented to the convention, that he had been visited by G.
