Twin State Notes.

Greenfield has apparently caught u
good outfielder and batsman in Sharpe
Swasey is a disappointment in the
hitting line.
Manager Breckenridge dropped
Swapp from the pay roll Saturday
night. Swap wanted to know why
he was dropped. Breck told him
Fishburne is expected to be back in
the local lineup Tuesday. That may
help some, but it will not instill life
into the team. There is not team in
the league that has played at Island
park this season that has not shown
far more life on the field than have
the Islanders.
Some of the scoring in the league
is of the kind that makes figuring bat
ting averages a joke, but now and
then n grievous mistake can be cor
rected. For instance in the Afternoon
game at Newport Carpenter is credited
with hit, but not with time at bat
in the scores sent out.
President E. NJ. Keyes of the Twin
State league was a spectator at the
morning game here on the Fourth. lie
said after the game that he could not
see anything the matter with the UNI
piring Of Cassidy. 81 He did good
job except to miss one or two balls
and strikes,' was the president 5 re
mark. Reyes was probably the only
person out of 1900 who held that
opinion, unless another was Cassidy,

WORK OF TEAMS
THE PAST WEEK
Greenfield and Brattleboro Weak With
Stick-Newport Has the Slug
gers and Good Pitching Staff.

The Twin State league race this past
week has shown unmista keably that
Newport has collected Singing ag-
gregation and carries besides two OF
three pitchers who are able to stand
the gaff and are given runs enough by
their comrades for something to work
on.
Keene and Bellows Falls have both
been playing consistent bali in spite
of the fact that Brattleboro took two
games from the TurnstiIes during the
week and one of them with a patched
ZIP team. Keene has strengthened, Fer
rim in particular having added materi-

SHUTOUT BY O'MARA
AT ISLAND PARK
Brattleboro Found Newport Pitcher for
Only One Hit, While Visitors
Piled up 13-Score, to 0.

Johnston got one single off the de-
livery of O'Mara Of Newport at Is
land park Friday afternoon and Btat-
tleboro never threatened the plate dur
ing nine long innings. Swap, who
was tried out as a local pitcher, issued
two passes and was hit for three
doubles and a single in two innings
and his support contributed three err
rors in that period. Hicks, who sue
ceeded him, was hit for six singles
and issued pass in the eighth while
thre was one stolen base and a poor
throw by McAloon in that stanza, all
of which made the total score: New
port 8, BrattleborO 0.
Johnston contributed the fielding
feature of the game when he stabbed
Sherrick s hit over second while on
the run, and easily doubled O'Mara
off first. The score:

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WE'LL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Brattleboro People Know How to
Save It.

Many Brattleboro people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-
sible fer vast amount of suffering
and i'll health-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan 5 Kidney Pills
a remedy that has helped thousands of
kidney sufferers. Here is a Brattle-
boro citizen s recommendation:
G. II. Bruce, 4 South Main street,
BrattlebOrO, says: ~ suffered from
from backachc fcr two years. Morn
ings I could hardly stoop. The kidney
secretions were unnatural and if al
lowed to stand, deposited a heavy
sediment. l was feeling miserable in
every way when Doan 5 Kidney Pills
were brought to my attention and |
began using them. In less than two
weeks this remedy removed the pain
in my back.'
Price soc, at all dealers. Don t
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get

ally to the batting strength of the
team. Bellows Falls has added Paddy
Ryan in the hope that he will add
strength. O'Dowd is not hitting well
for an outfielder, and Goeb was disap-
pointment in the outer garden.
Brattleboro has been sadly handi-
capped by the illness of Fishburne,
forcing the playing of catcher on
third, and Sturtevant S illness dug .
hole in the pitching staff. The team
is weak for dependable pitchers and
in the last three games did no hitting
worth mentioning.
Mills has strengthened Northampton
in the field if not in batting strength,
and the pitchers appear to be doing
some better. Greenfield is even weak
er than Brattleboro with the stick, but
occasionally turns in a game Of hard
hitting. Only four games separate the
leaders and tail-enders, and a squirt by
Brattlebor0, Greenfield and Northamp-
ton for two days would materially
change the complexion of the standing

DOG BITES BOY
Wilfred Meyers Has Lip Very Badly
Lacerated Saturday Evening by
Pet Bull Dog.

Saturday evening Of last week while
Lyman's white bull dog was engaged
in killing muskrat, Wilfred Meyers
came near the fighting pair and in
watching got his face near enough
for the dog to jump at him and catch
his upper lip which was discovered to
be quite badly lscerated when the
wound was hurriedly dressed that ev-
ening. Sunday morning the wound
was again dressed and the injured
member is healing as rapidly as could
be expected. The young man is en-
ployed as delivery boy for the Sank
Centre Meat & Mercantile Co. and at
present has a substitute ON the job
for him. The dog Is a fine bull dog
and great pet, but it is deplorable
that such thing should have happen
ed and it shows that he is somewhat
of vicious nature.
