and Bellows Falls fought double
split even, the Islanders winning the
hrst by score of 3 to ,, using three
pitchers to turn the trick with the
possible aid of a mistake by Umpire
Ready, and losing the second by a
score OF to because Dixie was I'M
able to prove the salvation of his team
for the second time in two hours A
crowd of 900 witnessed the first double
header of the season in the Twin
State league and of that number close
to 100 were supporters of the visiting
team.
Paddy Green essaved to twirl
through both games and worked eight
innings and little over in each but
both times was taken off the slab in
an effort to save the games, the first
attempt being successful and the see

hit IN the first game and that cut no
lee in the score but in the second
he was hit hard throughout and was
lucky to get through without more
runs being scored on him. Harding
pitched the first game for Bellows Falls
and Harrington the second. Joe s =
hitting in the second was responsible
for one run directly and indirectly for
another, Dixie 5 error following one of
his hits and allowing a run.
