RALSTON GAVE SIX
HITS IN FIRST INNING
And Northampton Was Thus Enabled
to Administer 8 to l Beating to
the Islanders.
Especial to The Reformer.
NORTHAMPTON, July 9.

Landing spitefully on Ralston in the
opening inning Of yesterdays game,
the Champs administered an to l
beating to the 1ounderins Islanders.
The visitors showed more ability with
the stick than has characterized their
work recently, but the 10 hits which
they made off Hammersly were scat
tered and there was poor base-running
into the bargain.
Darlington started off for Hamp
with base on balls in the first in
ming. Tormey hunted to third and
beat out the throw. With the count
three and two, White belted the ball
over Andrews's head in left field for
a three-bagger. Darlington and Tor
mey scored. Conley lifted to Blakely,
who muffed, and White scored Mills
flied out to Dixie, Conley taking third.
Then Maloney hit to left field for
dropped Texas Lacquer over second,
and Maloney scored. Hammersly hit
safely, Shea going to third, and Ham
mersly to second on the throw for
Shea Then Darlington, in his second
appearance of the inning, singled, and
both men scored.
Blakely went in to pitch for Ralston
in the second inning, but after he had
passed White, Manager Breckenridge

Disappointing Showing of the
Local League Team Calls
for Action
FANS HAVE A RIGHT
TO BE DISGUISED
What They Demand Is a Team That
Can Show, at Least Occasionally, an
Ability to Get Out of the Cellar
Four Runs in Four Games.

Bratteboro's baseball team is in the
doldrums. Its showing since last week
Tuesday has been such as to cause ex-
treme disgust among local fans, and the
plain fact of the matter is that unless
something happens Immediately to bring
about a radical change there will be a
marked slump in attendance
The Reformer has no desire to inter
,fere with the policy of the local manage
ment, bat it recognizes the right of the
fans t8 demand something far better in
the line of baseball than the Islanders
have shown in the last four games
How this is TO be brought about is for
the directors Of the local association to
decide, but it must come very soon OF
local interest in the Twin State league
will be a wholly negligible quantity.
If the Brattleboro team were showing
a fighting spirit and losing games by mar
row margins there would be general dis
position to accept the excuse that the
breaks Of luck, which figure so prominent
Iy in baseball, We're going against ut,
Unfortunately. however, this is not the
case In its last four games the Islanders
have been defeated by the scores OF to
10, Z to ], . To >, and S to l the total
score being 33 for opponents to 4 for
themselves The illness Of Shortstop
Fishbune may have started the team on
its downward career, but by no stretch
Of the Imagination can this circumstance
be made to account for the continued
slump.
As far as Brattleboro's standing in the
league is concerned there is no great cause
to worry Only l. out Of 90 games have
been played. But local followers of base
ball have reached state of mind which
demands a. team that can display at least
occasional indications Of an ability tc
climb.
As stated in a foregoing paragraph,
The Reformer does not wish to interfere
with the plans of those in whose hands
the conduct of the local team rests, but il
would not be doing it's duty as news
paper if it did not recognize and give
depression to the acute dissatisfaction
that exists in local baseball circles at tn,
, present time.

form and his miscues in Monday :

afternoon with two orportunc hits and
some speedy baserunning.
Tuck Genest will probably Join one
Of the Twin State league teams this
week. Northampton is most likely to
be his destination as he had intended
going with that club earlier. but found
his leg wouldn t stand the strain of
playing regularly then. He writes to
Springfield friends now that he has
been playing with independent teams
and believes his leg is strong enough
to allow him to play regularly with a
TWIN State team as clubs in that cir

league. During the intarleague series
last fall between the Hartford ana
Lowell clubs, Murray hurt his sbouI-
der and has not been the same since
lie drew a suspension from Hartford
and since then has been trying to
work his arm into shape at League
park IN Springfield. SO far he saws
he has been getting better results
than he anticipated, but needs steady
work to bring him around to the point
where he will be read to slip back in
to organized baseball

NEWPORT, \. H., July
Especial to The Reformer.)


Newport managed to nose out Il to
0 game from Greenfield yesterday af-
ternoon. The game was simply a pitch
ers' battle and Newport won only be-
cause Keaney and johnson were able
to get consecutive hits in the seventh
inning, allowing Keaney to reach home.
Both pitchers were we'll supported and
but for some excellent fielding on both
sides there would have been more runs.
Shiricll did some excellent throwing
to second as did Walker. Neither side
got beyond third base until the seventh,
when, with one man out. Keaney hit
Il pretty liner out through center and
went TO second base. This was follow
ed by a single by johnson, which al
lowed Keaney to get home. The next
two men were struck out ana the home
team was not able to get to second
again. The visitors got hit in each
of the last two innings, but were not
able to oct home. The score:
