Twin State Notes.

We have now won half as many
games as we have lost
paddy Green says he can beat
Bellows Falls both games this after
noon.
Pitchers Paul and Jennings Of North
ampton have been suspended for Gin
different = playing.
Brattleboro can hardly win the pen
nant but it can have a lot to say as
to what team does win it,
Goodrich, first baseman of North
ampton, made a record yesterday by
having only one put-out at first.
Dyke and Beran. both left-hand
hitters, got seven hits between them
off Southpaw Harrington yesterday.
Beran got square for a strikeout in
the first trip to the plate yesterday by
banging out three singles and a double
after that.
Greenfield has won most of its games
with tallies in the last inning and
have generally made less hits than the
defeated team.
\ double win today over Bellows
Falls would make Newport a likely
candidate for the Islanders accustom-
cd place in the cellar.
/ Reed, the umpire who has been of
/ duty for two weeks, returned to his Job
yesterday at Northampton and all Of
his decisions did not please.
Northampton and Greenfield are now
/ tied for first place in the league and

In the event that solomon should
be injured and unable to catch. Sulli-
van. first baseman, is capable of going
behind the bat in a pinch. But the
local team IS in hard shape for a
change catcher and taking Sullivan off
first would fearfully weaken the infeld

Keegan, who played with Springfield,
and several other teams in the Eastern

field for week, has been signed b,

b the outteld in place of Swasey, tn
