BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
NORTH ADAMS WAS EASY.
Brattleboro Took the Game Without
Difficulty by Score of 1878.

The North Adams Y. M. G. A. bas-
ketball team. which according to the
handbills was after Brattleboros
scalp, must have forgotten its toma-
hawk last Friday evening. At any rate
the local players danced a war dance
about the scalp hunters through both
halves punctuating their evolutions by
dropping the ball into the basket at
intervals until II became so monoton-
Gus that even Referee Daniels was seen
to yawn. From the very first 1t was
apparent that the Massachusetts, men
were no match for their Vermont riv-
ais, although in Justice to them II
should be said that during the first
half they were handicapped by being
chilled by their long ride from Green
field, being obliged on account of mis-
sing their train to drive from that
town. When the timers whistle an
nounced the end Of the first period the
score stood 1872, and no one had any
doubt about the outcome of the
contest. In the second half the
Brattleboro boys let up somewhat
and contented themselves with
practising passing. Six of the IA
points in this half were made by
Stolte who went into the game in place
of Ferriter and afterward Ellis,
who was disqualified. March play
ed an excellent game, attending
strictly to business all the time, ana
Howe was also present with the goods
although toward the end his tenn
per got a little the best of him for
minute.
The interesting game of the evening
was that between the High school and
Company / teams. 1t was finally won
by the schoolboys 1922 in an exciting
finish, the militiamen coming up very
strongly toward the end and making
desperate attempt to secure the VIC
tory. Several of the High school goals
came after beautiful exhibitions OF
team work which were heartily APP
plauded. Mack and M. Pierce were
the stars OF the High school team while
Clune and Stevens divided honors on
the other side. The summaries:

There was not enough satisfaction
in the game for the rooters to explode
one joyous yell. They just turned
their energies into another direction.
They knocked-and knocked hard.
Before the game Manager Alberts
said: I'm Disguised" After the game
he said: I'm plumb disgusted." And
that was about the way the fans felt,
too.
1t started right at the beginning.
Big RUDE Waddell Cyrus Stinson
handed out four free passes in the
first inning, and these coupled with
an error, two hits and a hit batsman,
brought in five runs. And the big
slabman did not seem to care any
more about it than if he had never
been near the game. He was wild all
through the contest, just occasionally
bracing up sufficiently to show that he
can pitch ball if he wants to, and then
letting the sphere whizz from his hand
as if he cared not continental
whether it went over the grandstand
or over the plate. 1t made the fans
begin yelling that "Old Cy' was play
ing for his release. A barrel of pro-
tests went up for Manager Alberts to
take him out and put Hughes, the new
acquisition from Pittsburg, into the
box. Old Spartacus warmed up
Hughes, but put him back on the
bench instead of onto the slab as he
should have done.

The two new men who tried out yes
terday. Randolph at first and Friel at
second, did very well-both Prov bly,
adding several days to their Topeka
Washburn. He has been with Joplin
this year, but was released. He made
three hits in yesterdays game, one OF
which was a two-bagger. Friel celebra-
ted his Topeka advent with a home run
in the second inning. The Joplin play
ers evidently thought it an accident for
they offered to bet him anything
that he would not make another hit
during the game. He didn't. Both
played good fielding games, but both
made an error. The fans seemed to be
pleased with their work and extended
them the glad hand when they came
to the bat. But Friel is not a Bank
head, nor is Randolph a Green. And
that is the kind of material Topeka
needs. Sisler is a good player on third,
but too sulky and fussy for any use,
and occasionally like on yesterday he
was apparently in a trance. Olson at
short is the only genuine infielder
which the Saints have right now. The
little shortstop tries all the time, works
all the time, and is in the game all the
time, and that can't be said for all of
the Topeka players by any means. The
spectacular playing of Grant On third
base for the Miners was the feature of
the game.
