Slow thinking, ineXperience and At
times the avoidance Of following the
fundamental rules OF baseball were
largely contributing factors to the vic
tory OF the Brattleboro Athletics over
the Brattleboro high school on Island
park yesterday afternoon. The score
was to ,, bat five Of those runs came
III the last two innings when Knight
and his support weakened. Two Of the
runs. the FIRST ones. would not have been
scored but for brainIess work. On the
other hand the high school would have
had one CT two more but for failure
to run bases as any sand lot boy learns
to do. In the opinion of the high
school team and their few ardent sup
porters some Of the decisions of Thorn
as Doyle were distinctly in error.
What chances for especially good
plays there were went TO the boys.
Chase, who graduates next week from
the high school, played his first game
for the school team and held down
first base and blocked runners off like
a veteran Of the big leagues One OF
his catches was a regular Hal Chase
stunt, followed by an appeal to the UNI
pire which brought the high school
team a decision that was wrong. Cat
Angler was at short and in spite Of
one error, a throw that pulled Chase
off the bag, he played the position -
ii accustomed to it. Kaine, while
