erattIeboro is, keene Nondescrlpts s..

nondescript aggregation from Keene
opened the base ball season saturday,
when they were easily disposed Of by
the Brattleboro independent team 1875.
No complete score was kept of the game,
but the lineup was as follows: Brattle-
boro-Ellis p. L. Allen c, Waite III, March
Oh, c. Ellis 81. Stolte IS. Ferriter IT, Tuck
er CT. Riley IF Keenc-Conway p. Shean
c, Dean h. Murphy 2b, Conan 2b, COT
fee IS, Bowdoin If, Rogers CT, Callahan
IF.
The game as whole was listless and
tedious.
Shean was a very snappy little catcher,
and threw out the first three runners who
attempted to purloin second, and two or
three other throws We're good enough if
he had been properly supported. Con-
way did fairly well IS pitcher, but his
support was weak. Dean was an amusing
type OF the 'rube' style, who made num-
crous errors at first base. but who met
the ball hard and clean. Callahan, anoth-
er visitor. cracked the ball for a three
Dagger and singles.
For the home team March and c. Ellis
distinguished themselves by pretty field
ing plays while at the bat Capt Allen
started the fun with a home run the first
time up. and afterward added two sin
giles to his score. The veteran Waite hit
for four singles in succession, and the
fifth time up, with three men on bases,
drove n speedy one, which the short stop
lost Stolte pounded out two doubles.

SPORTING.

James Barrett stands 18TH among the
batsmen of the American association for
this season with a percentage of .3il.
A feat which will go down in baseball
history as the greatest of its time, was
that of Pitcher "Cy' Young of the Bos-
ton Americans. in a game against the
Philadelphia Athletics at Boston. only p
men went to bat. Not n hit or a run
was made and not a man reached first
base.
Duncan C. Ross, the old timer who
tried to give an exhibition OF wrestling
in Brattleboro last year and who was
thrown by Tom Lynch, is in Burlington
this week. He announces that he Will
wager any sum from 800 to $500 that
he can throw any man in Vermont three
time within an hour.
Arthur Monroe is making a reputation
as the best pitcher Wesleyan has had in
recent years. He was poorly supported
a Hanover Friday, Wesleyan being beat
en- s to 2. OF the ten hits it is said in
press dispatches that several ought TO
have been felded. on Wednesday at
Middletown Conn, the University of New
York was able to find for him only four
scattering singles and Wesleyan won 60.
Pop" Slater, who is with the Holyoke
team this year, came originally from
Shelburne Falls and about Is years ago
PLAYED with the teams in Turner's
Falls and Millers Falls He has
continued in the game since then as
a professional, playing in all parts of the
country, but that he retains all his skill
is shown in the fact that he ranks highest
in fielding among the first basemen of the
Connecticut.

League base ball,

lAttiSut DdSt Dtll.
The season will open tomorrow, Brat
ueboro VS.. Ashuelot, on the home grounds
Play will start promptly at 3.15, and Nc
Cormick of Hinsdale will probably
be the umpire. on the same day
Winchester and Keene. the other
two teams of the league. will cross bats
at Keene. Brattleboro's schedule for
the first few games is as follows: May
2l, Brattleboro at Winchester; May %,
Winchester at Brattleboro; May 80, Ash
uelot at Brattleboro, two games; June
4, Brattlcboro at Keenc; June II, Keene
at Brattleboro.
The schedule calls for two games in
Brattleboro on each holiday throughout
the season. All Saturday dates for the
entire summer will be filed with league
games but the team will play a few mid
week contests with outside organizations.
The Keene team which played here
Saturday had no connection with the
league organization, and contained but
two of the players who will represent
Keene in the league.
The Brattleboro team which viii meet
Ashuelot Saturday will include the same
players who were in the game last week.
1t is probable that Monroe, the Wesleyan
twirler, will be with the Brattleboro club
at the close of the college season,
and Brooks of Hinsdale. the star
catcher of the local league with the " NJ
c. y. last season, will probably be avail
able as back stop in Brattlcboro. Man
ager Williamson is now negotiating with
two or three crack players from out Of
town, who may come here for special
games but it will be necessary to have
their names filed in the list of the orig
inal 10.
The plan for the formation Of the league
first was to include Hinsdalc but the
other towns, being uncertain about the
strength and support at Ilnsdale. opened
negotiations with Brattleboro and decided
to drop Hinsdale.

Sweden has solved the telephone prob
lem with high degree of success. From
an official statement recently issued by
the government. it appears that the num-
Der of instruments in the government
owned system in 1902 was $1,000. The
state telephones yielded in gross receipts
in that year 81, 1926. 900, while the working
expenses amounted to less than $780, 900,
The balance went to pay interest and to
provide a sinking fund for the repayment
of the capital The income averages
about 500 an instrument. while the cap
ital cost has averaged about $40 per in
strument. The minimum charge for the
use of the trunk or intertown wires is 4
cents for three minutes conversation.
Notwithstanding such a rate, the system
has been a paying venture
