...Rice pitched well for the first four innings, allowing no hits, but was replaced by Goode in the fifth inning after giving two bases on balls and two wild pitches. Goode pitched well, and held the Watertown nine...

It was, it is, our answer to the great gun in the woods of St. Gobain, shelling the churches on Good Friday...
