Fine Chances Went for Naught
For the 18th consecutive time Brat
tleboro suffered defeat yesterday, and
as the score was to it was the
seventh shutout of the season and the
NTH within the series of 13 straight
defeats The winning team was Bel
lows Falls. 1t might be added that
this record is 9 going some -
1t was the same old story-the abl-
lty OF the opposing team to clout the
delivery of some one or more of our
pitchers, errors at critical times and
the fearful inability of the Islanders
to hit when hit amounts to anything
except to raise hopes in the breasts of
the faithful.
Light officiated on the mound for US
Tor three innings and got along well
for the first two, one single in the
second being the only semblance of a
Int. Harrison opened the third with
hunt which he beat out and Joe
Harrington got credit for double to
right, Dixie misjudging the ball at
first. As Harrison had taken second
on a wild pitch just before Joe s hit
it was not difficult for him TO score
Driseoll started to warm up Leonard
got Light in hole and he had to put
| it over, and Leonard following time
honored custom of batsmen, ripped one
| through the left side of the infield
| Delaney doubled over McCrehan S head
in left and Driscoll was hurried to the
slab. Wright went out, Finnegan to
Sullivan, but Briggs drove a wicked
long liner to right, scoring Delaney on
the sacrifice. Tewhill got in his usual
| bungle on Conroy, but Hammond made
| a pretty catch off Donnelly for the
| last out of that inning.
| Driscoll famed Cawley, Harrison and
] Harrington in succession in the fourth
| The last run came in the fifth Leon
| ard reached first by grace of one OF
| Finnegan 5 errors. He stole, aided
materially by a throw by Sennett that
nearly winged Driscoll. Delaney hit
i to Driscoll, who headed off Leonard
going to third and Whalen and Fin
negan ran him down, Finnegan getting
the out. Delaney stole, aided by an
/ other miserable effort to throw. Wright
drove a high liner to right center that
| Hammond could not hold on the run
and it went for a single, Delaney scor-
ing. Briggs hit to Tewhill, who with
| Finnegan and Sullivan completed a
fast and pretty double play.
We had our usual chances to score
with the customary results. In the
| first McCrehan was passed and Dixie
hit safely inside third with two out,
| but Sullivan hit to Delaney for an
| easy out at first.
/ In the second Finnegan drew a pass
with two out and Light hit safe to
center, but Tewhill flied to Cawley.
| In the fourth Whalen doubled to left
with one down and Finnegan put him
on third with long fly to right, but
Driscoll famed.
/ The fifth looked good after Tewhill
had gone out. Hammond was passed
McCrehan worried Harrington and
finally hit to the pitcher who turned
! and tossed to Delaney for a forceout
and the second baseman squarelv
muffed the ball. Two on, no one out.
Dixie was passed, Harrington refusing
to take chance on him. Sullivan
slammed one at Delaney who touched
Dixie as he went by and doubled Sui
livan at first.

sixth and Finnegan again put him on
third with a fly to right, but Driscoll
popped to Delaney.
After a double play had killed off
Whalen and Finnegan in the NINTH
Whalen having been passed, Carpenter
went to bat for Driscoll and sent an
easy one at Delaney, who fumbled
Tewhill hit to left for a clean single
and Hammond flied to left, Donnelly
obliginglv muffing the ball, Carpenter
instead of keeping going full tilt with
two out, slowed up after rounding
third and when he then speeded VI
and tried to score, Donnelly's pretty
throw to Wright and Wright s clever
blocking prevented a run.
Cawley' third base play, running
left hand stop and throw while OF
the run off hard hit ball by Sullivan
was the bright particular feature. A
catch by Hammond and Whalen S ane
bikes hitting were the near approach
to features. The score:
