Earned But One of Their Two Rims
The prettiest game of the season at
Island park resulted in the third sbut-
out in four games for BrattIeboro yes
terday afternoon, Northampton, the
league leaders, turning the trick and
making two runs, only one of which
was earned. Onslow Thompson, the
local boy who is pitcher for Norwich
nlVerslty, was on the mound for Brat
tleboro and pitched a fine game. Paul
pitched slightly better ball than did
thompson, but against a much weaker
team of hitters. Brattleboro has vet
TO show much in the hitting line.
Sensational catches by Lynch and
Sennett for Brattleboro a one hand
robbery executed by Goodrich and a
bare hand stop and throw to the plate
by Burns, robbing Brattleboro Of its
one real chance tic score, stood out in
the limelight together with the pitch
ing Of both twirlers and the fielding
IN the last inning of Chenoweth. who
by fast and brainy work saved more
runs being scored against the runless
wonders. The small crowd enjoyed the
game and rooted hard for a run in the
second and again in the seventh. but
the crowd could not DO the hitting.
The game opened by Thompson hit
ting Swazey with the first pitched ball.
Foran attempted a sacrifice and hunted
high to Thompson, who dropped the
ball. As Swazey had turned back to-
wards first Thompson threw to Chen
oweth and the latter got the ball to
Mol ahead of Foran, who, disguised,
had stopped running. Burns doubled
hard to left and Goodrich singled to
right, scoring his boss, but being out
himself attempting to make second on
Hammond s throw to the plate, Sen
nett, who was making his first appear
ance back of the bat for Brattleboro,
making perfect and quick throw to
Chen
One single was all the damage in
the second and the same was true of
the third, but the second and last run
came in the fourth through no fault
of Thompson. Moll hubbed a hard hit
grounder of Goodrich and then tossed
high and wild to Thompson, who was
covering the base. Chenoweth fooled
a grounder from Robarge s bat and
Whalen sacrificed them along. Parle
slammed a wicked one at Chenoweth
which the boy did well to stop in time
to get his man at first, Goodrich scor-
ing. Francis flied out. That ended the
scoring.
In the sixth Goodrich sandwiched his
second single in between two of the
prettiest kind of catches by LYNCH
one a deep field eaten of high fly and
the other running catch of a nasty
low liner from Roharge s bat Sennett
closed that session by taking a high
foul near the Northampton bench on
the run.
With two out in the eighth Burns
got lucky triple, the ball bounding by
Meagher, who was set for it on the
bound. Goodrich was taken care of
by Chenoweth and Mol The last was
the pretty inning and called for good
pitching and some fine fielding and
head work on the part of Chen.
Robarge opened with a double be
tween Lynch and Hammond. Whalen
dropped Texas Lacquer back of third
and Lynch made low return of the
ball to McGraw. Robarge struck to
third but Whalen made second on the
slip There was no one out. Parle hit
Il nafu one UfldJ oHeuONeIn tOOh cream
on the short bound and, holding Ro-
| barge on third, tossed out Parle at
| first. He repeated this identical play
on harder-hit ball by Francis and then
Paul famed for the third time.
SO far as Brattleboro was concerned
| its batting was so weak it needed
help to get into the score books at all.
4 single by Hammond in the first held
the place of honor until Lynch doubled
! in the sixth with two out and Mol was
passed, but McGraw stood and was
called out on strikes. A single by
| Meagher in the seventh and one by
| Moll in the eighth finish the column to
be added for hits.
Brattleboro had two chances to
score In the second Whalen contrib
uted two eros that put McGraw and
Seunett on third and second. Meagher
famed and Chenoweth gave Burns a
chance for a swell bare hand stop and
perfect hurried throw to the plate that
cut off McGraw. Thompson famed.
The other prospect was in the sew
enth. Goodrich made a jumping glove
handed stab at Sennett s liner and
landed it, Meagher singled through
short and Chenoweth was hit. So was
Thompson, but Fahey would not allow
it. Thompson then hit to Burns, who
touched second, forcing Chenoweth
Tewhill was unequal to the task OF
scoring Meagher, for he hit sharply to
Whalen, who assisted him out at first
