grounds in a third consecutive victory
for the Brattleboro Athletics, their vic
tins being the Mlllers Falls tally hunters,
flown with victory on many New Eng
land diamond Those who longed for
game with free hitting had their satisfy"
to quote a French enthusiast. Slam,
bang, zip. was the order, as man after
man clouted the ball. The outlook was
hazy for Brattleboro in the first inning
when the visitors led the way with four
runs. Brown, the first man up, cracked
out q single, but he was caught in try

lessly. Allen caught fine game and Davis
and March played as clean, snappy ball as

for the visitors A peculiar coincidence
came in the hitting of March and Allen
In the fifth inning March, the first man up
thumped the ball over the right field bank
for a three-bagger. Allen, who followed
lifted It over the right field bill board fol
three bases. In the seventh inning March
was again first man UP. He again slug
ged the ball far over the fielder's head
down the bank, and was safe on THIRD
when the ball was returned. The crowc
were yelling TO Allen to do 1t again" and
he responded by slamming the ball dowr
the alley where March's drive had beer
but moment before. Just to keep up th'
coincidence, in the eighth inning Marcel
was for the third time first man up anC
he singled sharply into right field and
Allen followed suit with a hit Of thu
same style to the same place. r. Aliens
two hits, single and double, were verI
timely, bringing in four scores. Busl

and two long flies to Riley Brown con
