fortune to see in minor league ball
in many a long day. They had to

their mettlc and made the Twin State
team in its first game travel at top
notch speed to pull out a 3 to 0 win.
About 400 gathered to take their first
look AZ the hopes Of Brattleboro for
another league pennant.
Patten, who halls from Torrington,
Conn, occupied the slab the entire dis
tance for the leaguers and twirled high
grade ball. His control was perfect
and in only one inning was he in dan

Jim had something on the ball and for
four innings allowed only one hit, that
by Lynch. With perfect fielding back
of him he would have got through his
SIX innings without being scored on.
When Blake came in to pitch and
with his speed and right hand delivery
the Ieaguers got as many hits in two
innings off him as they had off Jim in
six. None Of the leaguers appeared to
be shy at the bat.
The real fielding features of the
game werg contributed by Chenoweth,
the LehigH shortstop, who turned in
two sensational plays; McDermott, who
made a swell running catch of foul
fly; and Sassanan, who scooped bunt
and tossed it to Tom Clune at the
plate for an out on a close decision.
Chenoweth, who gave a beautiful
exhibition Of shortfeld play, turned
both sensational plays in during the
the second inning. With one out Lee
hit one that broke through Patten and
caused Ump Greasy to do 4 Highland
