20, But One Goal by Visitors was
| Questioned.
The Brattleboro Athletics suffered de-
! feat "a to 20 Tuesday night at the hands
| Of Turner'S Falls, but there Is some uues-
| ton as 10 whether the score should not
have been % to 20 in favor Of the home
team. Toward the end Of the last half
! a dispute arose over that question and
time was called in order that the matter
might be settled. The score on the board
! showed that the Athletics were one point
| ahead, but the score kept by the news
! paper men and by man whom the Wis
! itors brought with them gave Turner's
Falls the lead by one point. This was the
situation: short time before the dis
| pute arose the referee blew his whistle,
but the players did not stop, and in few
| seconds Boggio Gagged the ball. The ref
cree allowed the ball to remain in play.
consequently the newspaper men credited
| the goal to Turner'S Falls. Had the ref
cree insisted on the recognition of his sig
| nal the goal would have been thrown out
The players were given warm hand as
| they took their places i'm the field Davey,
| the star centre in Brattleboros state
! champion team Of last season, was back

/ while in the visiting team was Doran, a
| former coach and favorite on the Brat
! ueboro aggregation. Riley started things
| going with a handsome throw. Brown
came up with some excellent work and
made two goals, but presently Davey
evened things up with a pretty shot No
| more scoring was done for a long time
and the crowd began to get hungry, when
| Riley fed them another Two accurate
/ ch hNr arsa
/ lead in favor Of Turner's Falls for the
! second time, but Davey again came to
! the rescue and again evened up. Up to
| this time Boutwell,. while showing up in
| good form in team work had been mis-
sing some good chances to score. but he
gathered himself at this point and scored
/ on long throw, changing the lead for the
fourth time in the game This stirred up
enthusiasm, and the lead was clinched

BASKETS in quick succession, which brought
the crowd to its feet and closed the period
with high hopes Of victory for Brattle-
boro. Score, Brattleboro IL, Turner's

called on Turner's Falls and under the
new rules, it being the third offense by
| the visitors, Brattleboro was given one
