Ting good exhibition of the national
pastime through the medium of a boot
by Third Baseman Whalen. aided and
Allotted by an extremely odorous de
eislon by Umpire Ready. The score
was to |, not counting one run which
6rattleboro scored fairly enough de-
spite the imp S ruling, but including
two TALES which Greenfield garnered
when the aforesaid Whalen, with two
out and men ON second and third
sfraddled an easy bounder and let it
roll into short left field. Had it not
been for these two features the game
might have been in progress yet.
Certain il is that young Mr. Dixie,
Brattleboro 5 new southpaw, pitched
good enough to win. Letting Green
field down with four scattered hits is
some stunt, and when in addition one
gets three safe clouts. rest assured he
dispells any dreams of pink tickets.
And yet that is just what Young Mr.
Dixie did, displaying in the course Of
the performance nice bunch of speed
and 4 remarkably discerning eve for
he bah. Patten, the local cast of,
worked for the home team and was
lucky to get away with victory
Greenfield S gift-runs came in the
second after Riddell had singled and
Maloney had drawn a base and stolen.
1t scored again in the fourth when
Miller walked, went to second on Wei
gold 5 sacrifice and scored on Ridden 5
! second safety.
! BrattlebOro 5 tally was seeured IN
the sixth when Finnegan made three

on Hammond 5 fly. In the seventh
after Sennett had flied out, Carpenter

ON Sullivan 5 infeld hit. Dixie then
produced his third single which sent
Sullivan to second ana Whalen came
/ through with neat hit into short
right field. Sullivan got a good start
and easily beat the throw to the plate
But imp Ready nonchalantiy waved
him out despite the protests of tht

great eve for the bali. Riddell covered

The management have let Marty
Conroy go. This they are sorry to do,

so pretty setting as Brattleboro 5 nor

so good, but the field itself is far and
