BrattlebOrO Led So at the End
of the Sixth Inning
Yesterday
SCORE WAS TIED
IN THE SEVENTH
ana Won in the Ninth When Two
Bases on Balls Forced a Runner
Across the Plate-Thompson Reagan
to Weaken in the Sixth.

The jinx was Jared but not van
pushed at Keene yesterday.
Brattleboro held the lead 80 at the
end OF the sixth inning, but in the
seventh keene clouted Onslow Thomp-
son for three hard singles and a double
ana these hits with base on balls
Melted three runs and tied the score
Light replaced Thompson in the
eighth and retired the three men in
ofder Ia the last three innings Brat
tleboro failed to do a thing at the
bat, although Light, first man up in
the ninth, reached first base on an err
ror by Ostergren, who tossed wild to
frst when Ralston covered the bag.
IN the ninth the iinx came back.
Proctor, one OF the weakest httters in
the league, who had participated in
the batting rally in the seventh. was
hrst man up and drove a hard ground
ball between short and second. Fish
attempted to sacrifice, Light throwing
TO second to catch Proctor. MANY
people thought Proctor was out. but
on close decision Umpire Reed gave
the benefit of the doubt to the runner
and keene had two on and none out.
Ostergren lifted a pop fly to Finneoan.
Light tailed to locate the plate and
passed McElwee and the bases were
full Light couldn t get them over to
Morris, nearly all of the balls being
nigh, and when imp. Reed signaled
for the fourth ball it was all over but
the shouting of the Keene crowd,
among whom a funereal stiffness had
reigned up to the seventh inning.
And just at that moment the storm
broke Even Jupiter Pluvius wept.
BrattlebOro started the scoring in the
first, when Tewhill was hit by a pitch
Ell ball and was advanced to second
on Hammond s pretty sacrifice Sen
nett reached first on Proctor s error
but was caught mapping at first. Car
penter's hit scored Tewhill. Sullivan
hit to right field but was thrown OUT
IN trying to make second base.
Brattleboro threatened to drive Raj
ston from the slab in the second and
Anderson was called out to warm up.
An error by McElwee, single by Finne-
gan and three Dagger by Leid brought
IN two scores, and another was added
by Leid on Hammond 5 hit. The lat
ter was thrown out at third in irving
to make two bases on Sennett 5 hit
to right field. Brattleboro' s last score
IN the fifth came on hits by Hammond
and Carpenter and an error by Eng
llsh, who threw wide to first when Sen
nett attempted a sacrifice.
Keene' s runs previous to the sew
enth came in the second and sixth inn
ings. In the second English hit the
ball clearly into the river and Lyons
brought him home. Ostergren opened
the sixth with three Dagger, the ball
bounding into the river. McElwee
followed with single and Ostergren
scored. Morris fled out to Hammond.
English hit safely and two were on
with but one out. but pretty double
play by Tewhill, Finnegan and Sullivan
| retired the side.
1t was a fairly good exhibition of
ball playing, but lacked in spectacular
plays. Morris went into right field
for two catches and Lyons caught the
crowd by jumping ana catching a drive
off Thompson IS bat in the third. By
the jump he made the catch look classy
and won the biggest applause of the
day.
