GAME WITH DARTMOUTH RESERVES.
Vermont Academy met the strong Dart
mouth Reserve team Saturday, April %,
on Fuller field and was defeated in most
exciting and hard fought game. While at
times loose playing on both sides was freely
INDUCED in there were many fine plays
made and there were times when both
teams played with snap and vim pleas
ing to see. The first four innings were
loosely played and then with the score
to 2 against them the Academy team
showed its pluck by tying the score in the
next three innings and it looked as if the
game were going to V. A. But the Dart
mouth team by a fine streak of batting
brought in five runs in the first half of the
ninth and won the game. For the Dart
mouth team, Weston, Drew and Ladd did
good playing and batting while Fox pitched
well and was finely supported by White
more. Riggs throw to first from deep
center resulting in pretty double play
was feature. The summary is as follows: :
Earned runs, Dartmouth 2, V. A. l; 2
base hits, Drew, Smith, Rugg 3 base hits,
Weston, Drew, Coffin; bases stolen, Dart
mouth 2, v. A. 5; double plays, Upham
to Gilbert to Coffin, Upham to Carpenter
to Coffin, Rugg to Coffin; bases on called
balls, Dartmouth 2, V. A. 2; bases on hit
by pitched ball, Dartmouth 1, V. A. l !;
struck out by Ladd 3, by Fox 10. Time

foot ball, while Y. A. has always won in
base ball, last Mondays game being no
exception. 1t was most exciting game
to watch or to play, being nobody's game
till the last man was out in the ninth inning.
Both teams started in with rather seedy
playing but after the second inning settled
down to as pretty an exhibition of ball
playing as has been seen in Brattleboro for
some time. Each team had large crowd
of supporters and they had many chances
to exhibit their loyalty. Mt. Hermon
started the scoring by crossing the plate
once in the first inning while V. A. served
four in their half of the second by Her.
mons loose playing. Hermon tied the
score in the third inning amid great excite
ment. From this inning on the game was
as close and exciting as one could wish and
no one breathed easy till Fox struck out
the last man in the ninth. The features of
the game were Johnson's batting and field
ing and the fine support he received from
Robinson and the star battery work of Fox
and Whittemore. The summary is as fol
lows:
Earned runs, Mt. Hermon /; two base
hit, johnson; stolen bases. Mt. Hermon 2,
V. A. 81 double plays, Douglass to Conk-
lin; base on balls, by johnson 4, Fox l

they also gained an entrance to the cellar
but were unable to get into the store above.
1t was very bold attempt at robbery as
the night was bright moonlight and Mr..
Patterson, clerk for Mr.. Walker, came in
at late hour and noticed nothing wrong.
Mr.. Walker lost Columbian wheel which
was in the back store and is all that he has
missed thus far. 1t is evidently the work
OF an organized gang who have broken in
to the railroad station several times and
also made an attempt to enter the store of
Is. f. Sleeper recently. The thieves broke
into the shops of Ashwel Bros and George
W. Metcalf to get tools to work with they
also attempted to enter the money drawer
at the Ashwell Bros shop. We think it is
about time that the society which claims to
have for its aim the detection of thieves
had better take hold Of these matters and
try to find the guilty parties.
