When Victory Was Out of Reach.

"oh NiCIoiy was Gut OF Reach
Chief Artillerist Bricklev led fe-
ionious assault upon two Brattleboro
pitchers yesterday afternoon at Island
Park with the gross result that the
Newport team gathered II runs with
out much effort outside of runnino
bases and Brattleboro managed to Get
nVe IN the last three innings. For
those who love hitting regardless of
which team IS making the hits it was a
feast
The reJuvenated home team looks like
q little better aggregation than has
been gathered here before, and maybe
1T IS III fielding, but in the seventh inn
ing in particular the defense onened
rather WIDE acting a trifie DISCOURAGED
to put it mildly.
Brock presented two new pitchers.
the first being Mr.. Sullivan of Eastern
league Inc. After four runs had been
gathered he was succeeded by Mr.. How
ard, OF spitball fame. For two Innings
ne got along very we'll and then the
real eannonade began. 1t was
furious tattoo and when the hits were
not clean ones an error helped matters
along.
The breaks of the game went the
way OF the winning team as they al
most always do. Donovan ran into
short center and hauled down a seem
MY pure hit by j. Sullivan Finnegan
gathered one hard hit ball as it went
over second and got his man at first
ana Chenoweth, who disported' himself
IN night, made pretty running catch
OF lily and doubled base runner at
first. With Hammond on first in the
sixth Lynch hit viciously to Grow. who
stopped and made a perfect pickup Of
a very hard hit ball and forced Ham
mond at second. A second later Lynch
was caught off first
The real feature, however, was the
hitting of Brckley, the young man
who has not decided whether to play
four years of college ball or ioin the
Athletics. If one of Mack s scouts had
seen him yesterday he would have kid
mapped him and taken him along to the
Centennial city.
His first time up with Grow on first
he ripped one at Tewhin. who fumbled
and lost the easiest kind of a double |
play, but got Brickley at first. His
next time up there were men on first
and second. He lifted the bah over
Lynch head for a triple and scored
moment later when Sennett blocked
a wild pitch and the ball rolled less
than four feet from the plate. He slid
over safely
The young man S third appearance
was when he faced Howard. He banged
a hard-hit ball at W. Sullivan that took
an ugly bound and struck the first base
man on the shoulder, the crack going
for a scratch hit.
He was first up on his fourth ap-
pearance and, catching one just where
he wanted 1t, he put it in the tall
grass back of Chenoweth and made the |
circuit of the bases, the second time it
has been done on the Island and the
first time this year. The first hitter
to accomplish the feat was Foran, now
with Northampton. The last time
Brlckley fouled to Sennett
The runs came this way: With one
down in the first Grow singled to left.
Brickley hit to Tewhill, who lost the
chance for a double, but got Brickley. |
Durgln ripped one right between Fin
negan S legs, Grow scoring j. Sulli- |
van made bare-hand stop of Dona-
hue s hard hit and got his man.
In the third with one down Hunt was
passed. Grow singled to center and
Brickley tripled, scoring a moment
later on a wild pitch. That settled ].
Sullivan and Howard was called forth.
Brickley's scratch off him in the fifth
was the only damage
The sixth was different. Hoban sin. |
gled. Anderson hunted and so sur
prised Sennett and Howard that no
beat it out. Sennett had short passed
ball and in trying to catch Hoban at |
third he threw to left field and Hoban
scored, Anderson making third. Dono-
van singled, scoring Anderson. Wink
Ter sacrificed and Hunt singled. but
Grow flied to Chenoweth who doubled
Hunt at first
The merry-go round came in the sew
enth. Brickley s home run opened this
session. W. Sullivan dropped Durgin s
foul fly and then the batter famed.
Lyons and w. Sullivan got Donahue.
But Hoban drew pass and Finnegan
dropped throw to catch him stealing.
Anderson and Donovan singled and
Winkler tripled to right before Hunt
flied to Hammond, all for a total of
four more runs.
A triple by Durgin to deep right and
Tewhill S poor throw to third to catch
him there brought run in the eighth,
and in the ninth with two down Wink
Ter scored in spite of himself He sim
gled to right, walked to second on a
wild pitch and scored on Hunt s long
single to center.
