TWO HITS OFF DAVIES.
And 10 With Total of is Off the
Mighty PeploskI, BrattIeboro Winning
from keene by a Score of 80

Kecne's first defeat at home was az
ministered by Brattleboro Saturday, to
0. Davies was very effective, holding
Keene to two hits, one of which was a
scratch. The mighty Peploski was found
for long hits just when they were need
cal. Not a man on the Keene team saw
third base. Brattleboro started the scor-
ing in the second on a base on balls to
Hoban, hits by Guiheen and Darrows,
and a smash by Davies through the
trees beyond right field into the waters
of the murky Ashuelot. According to
ground rules this hit was good for only
three bases. In the third Brattleboro
chalked up two points on a hit by May
forth, a base on balls to Donnelly, and
Guiheen's hard drive to deep centre field
for two bases. In the seventh. with
Smell and Hoban on bases, Donnelly
slammed the ball over the river bank
for three bases In the eighth Darrows
was safe when Durgn failed to touch
first after stopping a grounder. Darrows
took two bases on a hit by Davies and
scored on a long drive by Grow to left
field. Grow played a fine game at third
and Donovan contributed some fielding
features to the game. The Keene fans
were very noisy in the first part OF the
game, throwing all sorts of jibes and
long before the ninth inning the shout
ing and the tumult ceased, the Keene
spectators commenting quietly upon the
mastery pitching of Davies and the hit
ting prowess of the Brattleboro players.

League Standing.

Wheeler, the Bennington pitcher was
in town Tuesday to see If the local team
would give him a trial.
1t is expected that Carolan, the big
first baseman with Bennington, will join
the Keene club next week.
Mackey, who umplred satisfactorily in
Tuesdays game here, lives in North Ad-
ans. He has had an experience of many
years as a catcher and manager.
Peploski of Keene has signed a con-
tract with the Detroit Americans, but
it is expected that he will finish out this
season in the Twin State league.
Maiden went from here early in the
week to the White Mountains, where he
will play on one of the summer teams.
OBrien, third .baseman from Holy Cross
college, and Smith, first baseman from
the University of Vermont, also left at
the same time.
The Boston Sunday Globe featured
Malcolm and Mayforth as the great col
lege battery of the year, using the same
picture of the two players that appear
ed in The Phoenix several weeks ago, in
connection with story of the good
work which they did for their college
team this season.
Rixey, the left-handed pitcher of the
University of Virginia, was slated by
Manager Hazelton for a regular posi-
ton with the Brattleboro team, but
about June Is he decided to Join the
Philadelphia Athletics. He made his
debut in major league company on Fri
day, when he shut out the Boston Red
SoX.
Brattleboro and Bellows Falls will
meet in battle array again this after

Brattleboro will go to Keene Friday,
July 10. The next Saturday game at
home will be against Keene, July 20.
Pitcher Jason Malcolm has gone to his
home in Bridgeport, Conn.,, for a vaca-
ton of two weeks and perhaps four
weeks. He has not been in condition
since coming here, being troubled with
sore arm. In college baseball this
season he lost but two games, and last
season at Coopertown, N. Y, he won 10
out of 20 games. 1t is believed that with
good rest he will be able to return
here in top notch form. In condition
Malcolm ought easily to be the most eff
fective pitcher in the league.
The Northampton Herald makes a
feature of the batting and fielding av-
erages of the Twin State league at the
end of each week. 1t figured that Vance
of Bellows Falls led the league at the
end of last week with an average OF
.444 in three games. The other heavy
hitters, according to the Heralds figures
were as follows Keene, Fish 1863, Oster-
gen .3l7 Bellows Falls, Ready .37S
Wright 1852, Volk ,342; Northampton,
Conroy 81; Brattleboro Davies 1854 in
six games, Smell 1927, Mayforth .309, Don
nelly 300. At the time these figures were
| published had hit at a .45O clip.

town yesterday and talked with the To-
cal directors. He was claimed by Keene
and by Brattleboro, and as the direc-
tors of the two associations could not
agree as to which team should have him
he returned yesterday afternoon to
Providence.
Umpire Rudderham was given his
walking papers at the end of the week.
His work was generally unsatisfactory.
He was right on one decision on which
the Keene rooters kicked Saturday.
Durgin failed to touch first base and
Rudderham called the runner. barrow,
safe. When Mcleod was at bat in the
ninth inning OF the same game he hit
the ball several feet In front of the base
and Rudderham called foul" but this de-
cision did not trouble the Keene CO.
horts. Rudderhams greatest weak
ness was in falling to get his binocu-
lars on curved balls which cut the
plate.

THE 100000 ROUTED.
Bratteboro Landed Its First Home Game
of the Season, 8 to I, Against Bellows
Falls tuesday.


The hoodoo vanquished, vanished and
Tuesday Bratteboro took the first game
of the season on the home grounds by
score of to /, against Bellows Falls.
Simpson, the Bates college boy pitch
ed a fine game, one of Brattleboro's dis
cards, Vance, being the only man to
solve his delivery to any extent. Vance
fattened his already big batting av-
erage by betting the ball for four safe
ties barrow, the new man, had a hard
time at short but his chances were diff
ficult and he went after everything in
a wide range of territory. Despite his
errors Darrow looked good.
Brattleboro started the scoring in the
third on Mayforth's hit and Smells
double, both hits being made after two
were out. In the fourth Guiheen batted
safely, stole second and third by using
his head instead of his legs, and scored
on Darrow's hit. In the sixth Guiheen
was given a free passage to first. When
Hoban struck out he stole second, and
ambled to third when barrow was be-
ing retired at first. Flaherty walked
and then started to steal second. This
movement drew throw from the catch
er to second. Flaherty slowed up be-
tween the bases and the second base
man threw home, but not quickly or
accurately enough to catch Guiheen.
The visitors would have been blank
ed but for Crows wild peg over first
base in the fifth in an effort to COM
plete a double play. In the seventh with
the bases filled and one out Bellows
Falls sent in Wright and Eckstrom as
pinch hitters, but the former struck out
and the latter hit an easy grounder to
Simpson. Gibbs, the former Athol high
school boy twirled effectively for Bel
lows Falls in the last three innings.

keene 6, Northampton 5, 10 Innings.

Keenee defeated Northampton to 5,
10 innings, in Beene Wednesday, STRAIT
ton went the whole distance for the
Larks, but Keene used three pitchers.
Wheeler, formerly of Bennington, was
replaced in the fifth inning by Nichols,
but after one man had hit fly to the
outfeld on which Conroy scored. Pep
loski was called into the box. In FIVE
innings he held Northampton to one hit
and struck out seven men.
One of the features of the game was
a catch by Peploski in center field when
he caught the ball from Burns's bat while
running at full speed near the bank or
the river, and being unable to stop
plunged into the water and was pulled
out by his teammates. 1t was later in
the same inning that he was called in to
pitch.
