run of the game. Thus did the islanders
accomplish their second victory over the
Sulphites in as many days and conclude
81 innings on their home heath withoGt
allowing their opponents to score. Inns
was on Tuesday.
Without question the game was the most
exciting that has been played ON the
Island Park grounds this season. As usual.
Wachtel was in trouble during the early
innings but after the third he had the vis'
iting battcrs completely al his mercy.
Nugent, who worked for Bellows Falls,
twirled q splendid game also. allowing but
one hit until the 10th. Both he and
Wachtel were finely supported, and. there
were numerous sensational features includ-
ing a one-hand catch by Vance that drove
the crowd delirious with JOY.
In the first inning Adams drew pass,
was sacrificed to second by Connors and
stole third. Volk famed, but Brill also
walked and stole second, making two on
when Burlington came TO bat and flied
out to Murray. There was more slNiety
in the second when Lynch singled and
went to second on an error by Murray
after Perley had famed. hut Wachtel pro-
dueed strikeouts for both Nugent and Adj
ans and the suspense was again relieved.
In the third Connors walked, took second
on Volk's sacrifice and went to third when
Brill was retired at first, burlington again
retiring the side. Not until the'eighth did
Bellows Falls appear dangerous again. In
that inning Connors singled went to sec.
ond when Nolk was retired on a ground
hit and reached third on a similar out for
Brill Then burlington appeared with a
stern determination 10 redeem himself,
but Wachtel deliberately gave him four
wide ones and then struck out Lynch.
Brattleboro had an opportunity to score
in the third when with but one down
Wachtel doubled and went TO third on a
wild heave,> but McAloon expired on an
easy grounder to Connors while Nichols
flied ont to Lynch In the eighth Edgar
drew pass and went TO second when Nolk
Connors who had caught pop fly raised
by Jackson in an attempt to bunt. Then
Wachtel was robbed Of hit by Perley and
Ensign, who was sent in to replace Nc
