After having lead of five runs to
not a single tally for Keene at Island
park yesterday afternoon, Brattleboro s
pitching statf-the whole, complete,
entire staff of twirlers (three of them)
busted up, and so did the game. At
ter that fateful seventh inning, in
which the visitors scored nine runs.
a dense gloom settled over the field,
but the score board in the offing could
be plainly read without the aid of
glasses-13 to ).
There are a lot of explanations. for
some POO people were present. The
result is indisputable, however Keene
Won, and If ever team was presented
a game that New Hampshire city can
lay claim to being the recipient. Brat
tleboro had the game won hands down
until Dixie, who pitched the morning
game, tried to stay too long. and with
Crandall in right and ''coId, - Light,
who was warmed up Il little, was sent
in.
When Light went to the slab three
runs had been scored in that inning.
and two men We're out. but there We're
men on second and third. Light pitch
ed ball to Fish, who whanged it at
Brown and Brown lost it, two more
runs scoring. While Light was passing
Morris and Proctor. Fish stole second
unnecessarily. The sacks were full and
Crandall was called in from right field
Light going out there. Crandall passed
Ralston, forcing in a run. Then he
passed Swasey and Twomblev and hit
McElwee before Ostergren obliginglv
hit one that Hammond could get under.
The total of this mess was nine runs.
There WASH t any real need of rub

enough to do it in the ninth. Proctor
and Ralston were passed and Crandall
stepped on Swasey' 5 hunt. filling the
sac ks. Twombley slammed one at
Suliy,' who headed off Proctor at
the plate. Proulx dropped Solomon 5
throw to third and Swasev was safe
there. McElwee slammed one to left
and .Ralston scored his third run. al
though he had not been officially a sin
gle time at bat. Again Ostergren
I flied to Hammond.
As for Brattleboro. Beran s batting
was the real feature. He drove in
three of the first four runs the Island
ers scored and his safe bunt in the
fifth filed the sacks. After Anderson
retired, three scattered hits were gar
nered off Ralston and no runs In the
fielding line a catch by Crandall in
right off his shoe tops. on which he
doubled Fish at first, and a fast dou-

We're the star performances. The rest
of the chances were easy. The score

TWIN STATE BARS
COLORED PLAYERS
Bellows Falls Stood Alone in Direc-
tors Meeting - Forfeited Game
Stands, Vote Being Tie
Especial to The Reformer)


BELLOWS FALLS, Sept. > - Ne
eroes We're barred Saturday from play
ing in the Twin State league as a re-
suit OF the meeting. of the directors
here. On most all questions that came
up there was sharp division of the
votes, but on the question of drawing
the color line Bellows. Falls was the
only dissenting club.
Northampton asked TO have the pro-
tested game with Bellows Falls thrown
out of the standing and played over
Bellows Falls. Keene and Brattleboro
voted against the proposition while
Greenfield, Newport and Northampton
voted for it. Inasmuch as the result
was a tie, the effort to throw out the
forfeit failed.
northampton hopes to renew its eff
fort again at next Sunday s meeting.
The Northampton men claim that when
President Reyes voted with Bellows
Falls for Keene he did not hold to the
instructions from the Keene directors.
as expressed to them through the tele-
phone during the progress of the meet
/ ing. AT the meeting next week the
forfeited game will again come up and
with Keene, Greenfield, Newport and
Northampton together, it seems likely
that the game will be thrown out.
4 However, if the final standing is close
the views of some of the teams may
/ be altered
The forfeit came when Manager
Burns of the Larks last Tuesday re
fused to play against a colored pitcher.
and Umpire Donovan gave Bellows
Falls forfeited game.
The Larks also protested Pitcher
tHammersley, the former Pittsfeld
twirler, who is pitching under the name
of Harding for the Bellows Falls club.
Northampton claimed it had n string
on Hammersley, but the protest was
not allowed
Arrangements We're made between
the Newport and Bellows Falls directors

WOULD MAKE BILL
AGREE With ITS TITLE

Should the title Of bill agree with
the body, or should the body agree
with title? Which should be changed?
Senator Makekau would change the
body of the bill to agree with the
title, and what is more to the point
that is exactly what he did yesterday.
Because the title Of a bin showed
that it related to salaries of super
yisors, whereas in the body it was
shown to provide for the supervisors
getting mileage only, Senator Make
kau yesterday amended to bill to boost
the salary of every supervisor in the
territory to $500 year and cut them
out of their mileage.
He had quite fight to do this. but
nevertheless he made his change
stick.
This is a good amendment he
said. Before the title didn't conform
to the body. Now I've changed the
body to conform with the title
The senators somehow or other
couldn't knock It out. The bill was
finally deferred. and when Senator'S
Baldwin and Brown. who we're absent
yesterday. return the the measure will
probably be taken up again with the
idea of knocking out Senator Make
Klaus amendment made in the interest
of congruity.

Some Minor Points at Issue
The whole spirit of the meeting
last night was that all sides to the
controversy can accept in principle al
least andsvery largely in detail the
latest bill as explained by Governor
Frear The main points on which
minor differences might arise were
stated last night to be those as the
territory and the company may enter
the date from which the franchise
extension is to run. and the repeal
ofssections IA and Is OF the present
bill Attorney wilmington contends
that the franchise extension should
date from June Is, 1880, as the prest
dent approved the original btu t.
June %, 1900. To this the governor
replies that the franchise dates from
the beginning of actual construction
which was June 6, 1899. and that the
present franchise viii expire at a cor
responging date thirty years later
Hence the governor dates the extern
sion from July 1. 1929 However,
this will not make any difference in
the expiration of the proposed new
franchise, which is to be on July 1
1850 in any event.
Sections IA and Is Of the present
act, the repeal of which the company
may oppose, are as follows:
Section IA. Right to acquire other
franchises The said association and
others shall have the right to take

or any part of the property, real and

the same be derived by charter or aci
