ONE FINE ENCOUNTER.
Brattleboro Defeated Hyphens Friday
in Classy | to 0 Game.

In one of the classiest ball games ever
seen ON a local diamond Brattleboro
beat the Hyphens Friday afternoon by
score of / to 0. 1t was certainly one
fine young encounter that grew better
as it grew older, and its elimination
came in the last half of the ninth when
Captain Ivers of the Islanders walloped
the ball into deep center for three bases
and scored the only run on Jackson S
timely sacrifice fly. Conroy and vii.
lams were the opposing pitchers and
both did excellent work, although the
Brattleboro twirler s record was triflc
the better. Conroy famed II men and
let the visitors down with but three
hits. He was as cool as cucumber at all
times and seemed to be at his best when
the odds were heaviest against him. In
the fourth inning Grape singled and was
sent to second by Crows sacrifice. Me
Carr and Whitney walked, filling the
bases with one down. But this situation
didn t seem to annoy Bill in the slight
est. He calmly handed j. Daley a
bender that was transformed into an
easy fly for Kelley and then famed
Keyes, getting deserved applause for
pulling out of the hole. After that the
Hvphens didn t really have chance to
score although they got men to first in
the fifth, seventh and ninth, Brattleboro
had men on bases in every inning but
the seventh but none of them got farther
than second until Ivers negotiated that
famous triple in the ninth. And even
then the game might have gone to extra
innings had not Grow S poor throw to

LOST TO KEENE AGAIN.
An Error and -Four Timely Hits Did the
Business 5 to 8.

That four hits in succession are worth
more than eight scattered ones was dem
onstrated to Brattleboro 5 sorrow at
Keene Wednesday afternoon. The Is
landers fell before the Leonard warriors
TO 3 in game that looked as good as
won until the sixth inning when Jack
son started things by muiing fly from
the bat of Fish, the first man up. With
Fish on second Minis singled, Qualters
hit out double, Shanahan lined out a
base hit and Leonard did likewise, and
there were four runs across the plate
when jackson was called in to relieve
Conrov, who up to that time had not
been found for anything that looked
like safety. ",Iack' gave a pass to
start with but after that he settled down
and pulled through creditably.
1t was tough game for the visitors
to lose. They scored two runs in the
third when Carney singled and stole
second Edgar got first on an error and
both scored on Ivers 5 hit In the fourth,
sixth and eighth they had men on bases
also but couldn I tally, while in the
ninth they got one run after two men
were down and had two men waiting to
score on single which failed to materi-
allie. Carney led the Bratteboro team
at bat, getting three clean singles in
four times M and stealing two bases,

show themselves to be pretty poor sports

Erwin R. Wakefield of Montpelier,
who has been playing great baseball
for the Hvphens at first base, was called
to Lynn. Mass, last week to play on the
New England league team. His posi-,
ton is filed by DR.. H. A. Whitney of
Northfeld, VT, who is baseball coach
at Norwich university.
The Cuban Stars were booked to play
the Islanders here yesterday afternoon,
but on Tuesday evening the management
received telegram saying that the
game was cancelled. This is good ex-
ample of the troubles the local manage
ment would have if the Brattleboro
team were not part OF the league

Springfield again, returning to play Bel

90 to Keene for another game. 1t is
possible that the Hyphens will play IN
Brattleboro next week Saturday instead
of Friday as per schedule.
Keene and Bennington did not play
Sunday at Bennington, as the manage
ment of the former club did not think
the long trip was worth the cost. The
Bennington team has been having hard
shedding lately, but at SATURDAY, g game
a subscription paper was started for the
purpose of raising money enough TO
keep the club together while longer
and it is believed the move will be sue
cessful.
Keene lost two games and now the
fans up there are talking of giving the
team a shake-up. A good fielder and
hitter would help the team, and NICK

HYPHENS IN 1T TO STAY.
No Truth in Report That Wednesday
Game at Springfield Was Last of Season.

MANY inquiries were made by local
fans Yesterday concerning Il statement
in Boston paper that Wednesday 5
game between the Hyphens and Bel
lows Falls was the last home game of the
season in Springfield. When asked
last evening about the matter W. f.
Hunt of Charlestown, who is at present
at the head of affairs. said that there
was no truth to it. The sentence should
have read "the best home game of the
season instead of the last. Mr.. Hunt
says that affairs with the Springfield
Charlestown club are better than they
have been at any time since the season
opened and he has no doubt that the
Hvphens will stick through Local sup
port is improving, and the ball field
itself has been bettered materially dur
ing the past week.

pitcher, claiming that all the pitchers
have been hit hard this season. After
winning seven straight games it doesn {
seem so awfulv bad to lose two games.
Warner lost one of the games but only
seven hits were made off his delivery
and his support was wretched.-fiteh-
burg Sentinel.
While the players themselves would
not wholly confirm the rumor it was
stated on the streets last evening that
at least one and possibly three members
of the Bennington baseball team had
received overtures from "Tom y Leon
ard of the Keene, \. H., bunch to jump
the town and ally themselves with
"Tom S Twin-State aggregation. These
overtures coming as they did so closely
upon the last minute cancellation of the
Tudor park game have given the local
fans the impression that perhaps there
was motive in the procedure.-Ben-
nington Banner.
There was pitchers duel between
and the Bellows Falls team defeated
hits off Warner, while the losers got
but five off Cronin, who will be remem-
bered as the youth who pitched two
games for the Biious. Neither pitcher
got a hit John j. Slattery, who played
second base, has been let 90 by Brattle-
boro and held down the same position
for the winners, while Lynch of York
Beach roamed around short for the same
team. Neither man made Il hit, but
they accepted all their fielding chances.
-Fitchburg Sentinel.
There is some suspicion that the real
reason why the Tudor park game with
the Keene, n. H., team was cancelled
by the Keene management was not SO
much prejudice against Sunday baseball
as it was case of cold feet. The keene
team, under the management of the
former Bennington first baseman
"Tom Leonard, is making record IN
the Twin-State league and in the games
Brattleboro, Bellows Falls and Charles
town-Springfeld. No one knows bet
ter than Leonard, however, that the
Twin State teams are not in the same
class with the mines that have been rep
resenting Pittsfeld Bennington and
North Adams and a good proportion OF
the fans here are convinced that Tom
didn t care to take the chances of
sound drubbng at this stage of the
ason.--Benningto Banner
Second Baseman j. J. Slattery was
released by Manager Breckenridge Fri,
dav and his place in Saturdays and
Wednesdays games was taken by
WBob'p Edgar of Middletown, Conn,

ton. Now that Meehan has, arrived
