The Brattleboro reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1907-1912, 1911-08-18
CONROY WAS UNSTEADY.
And the Consequence Was That Keene
Won SATURDAYS Game G to g.

. Bill Conroy'S unsteadlness in the frs
inning accounts in large measure for Brat
tleboro's defeat by the league leaders at
keene Saturday afternoon Il to 8 Hall
of the victors runs came at the opening OF
the game and although the Islanders made
a determined effort to even matters the
lead proved to be too large to overcome,
Both teams played good ball and furnished
plenty of excitement for crowd OF over
1000 people. several hundred of whom
were from Brattleboro. Minis pitched eX-
ceilent ball for Keene, showing more speed
than he has had before this season. Jack
son, WHO replaced Conroy after the score
had reacrqd TO 0 in the first inning, was
also eXtren ely effective although his task
was something of a thankess one.
| -Four Bratt,eboro men faced Minis in the
| first inning. Edgar went out on ground
er to Conroy, Sullivan expired on fly to
Oualters, Horali reached first on Leonard $
error and Murray retired the side by put
ting up a high foul which Leonard cap
tured after long run. Worried looks
overspread the faces of the Brattleboro
rooters when Leonard drew pass and
stole second but the strain lessened as
Oualters flied out to Conroy, and Dulgn
was nailed on an easy hit to Meehan. Then
Jerry Donovan came to bat and soon found
himself confronted with two strikes and
one ball A moment later he connected
for n pretty single, which sent Leonard
home and laid the foundation for Bill Con-
rows downfall. Mccarthy followed Dono,,
van with a hit Warner drew a pass and
filled the bases. and Fish came through
with a wallop that scored Mccarthy and
Donovan before the little, catcher was
caught trying to steal second.
In the second Mcleod reached first on
A poor throw by Conroy, .Meehan flied out
to Donovan, Kelley advanced Mcleod &c,
SIGN mt down bounder that retired
Kelley at second. Keene made one run IN
This inning from singles by Leonard and
Conroy and a double by Qualters, and
further scoring was no doubt prevented
bv the throwing of Mcleod who nailed
eonard at second and Qualters at third.
IN the fifth Durgin's double scored Leon

,eventh another timely double by the
