Brattleboro trusted too much to the
reputation of it's individual players in
the game at the Berlin street grounds
Saturday afternoon and in the second OF
the two games played here by the Twin
| Staters, the Italian Athletic club scored
an 8 to 0 shutout, thus splitting the
series, for the aggregation brought here
| by Coach Breckinbridge took the first
game Friday on nine-inning fiuke. The
Italians did the wind breaking all the
way through in the final contest. From
the moment Manager Caleagni cuffed the
ball over the center field fence in the
first inning for the cleanest home run
seen N some few purple moons it never
looked as though the much-vaunted Twin
State outfit would figure very heavily in
the scoring.
1t was a day OF redemption for Joe
Weafer. The premier /. A. G. twirler
had not been going well in the late
spring days and there were dire forecasts
of what the results would be when he
faced a team of ball tossers which Breck-
inbridge has gathered from the four cor
ners of the Atlantic seaboard and lit
tie back into the shallow West But
Weafer handled himself well, even bet
ter than his most sanguine admirers had
expected. Four hits and well scattered
at that are not calculated to weigh heav-
lily against a team that is running away
with an to 0 victory.
For curtain riser Coach Breekin.
bridge sent in young Lorraine, who per-
formed none too we'll for St ATichaels
not long ago. The Winooski portsider
lasted less than four innings, or just
long enough to allow the Athletics to
salt the game with four runs. Wearied
by his efforts Of the day before, Sturte-
want, the former Lowell Textile hurler,
was sent to the mound without so much
as warming-up. The locals took adj
vantage of his weakness TO pile up an
other quartet of runs.
The Italians filed the bases in the first
but the filling process began after Cal
cagniis mortal blow to Brattleboro hope,
in the shape OF home run wallop. Lor-
raine was going wild and his promis.
cuous distribution of free fares to first
was just as injurious in the opening
round as il was later. Three more men
had scored on Triggs' single and four
passes when he was dethroned in the
fourth. The scoring ceased for the nonce.
Singles by Bresnahsn and Weafer,
Roche's bad error and the fact that both
Calcagni and Comolli were hit by pitched
balls pushed the run total up to six in
the sixth. There was one-inning hull
and then the locals opened fire again.
Devine and White contributed miscues,
Sturtevant extended first base transpor-
tation to Calcsgni and Counter singled
The result was two runs
for total of eight. II might have been
more had the base running been keener
but the Italian lust for runs was well
favored with mercy Saturday.
Practically the only chance for scor-
ing came to Brattlebor5 in the sixth. |
Devine singled, but went out to Triggs |
at second when Lund pushed an easy
roller to Weafer II was Deyine who got !
as far as third on Brazill's corking pole |
TO right for a double. White, next up, |
flied out to pitcher and Sullivan famed |

the Twin Staters got to second, but a !
