Islanders Squeezed Out One
in Ninth After Two Men
t We're Down
SNYDER'S DRIVE
TOLD THE TALE
Twice Did Champs Get Man to Third,
but the Hit Was Not Forthcoming
Sensational Leaping Catch by Cargo
Snyder Was in o 'Hara s Place.

" On "Wednesday Brattleboro STAYED off
defeat at northampton until the 10th
inning. Yesterday at Island park North
ampton STAYED off defeat until two men
were out in the ninth and two strikes
were on the batsman. Then the Island
ers came through with q run that made
the score / to 0. Thus BrattIeboro hangs
to fourth place and increases the mar
gin slightly.
''Tommy' Devine acted as manager
during the temporary absence of Man
ager o 'Hara, who is on a scouting trip
for players. He put Chief Snyder at
second, and Maybohm, who said he
was not in good condition last Tues
day, asked for the pitching assignment.
As Maybohm allowed only one hit
and nothing else that looked like one.
thanks to a leaping gloved hand catch
by Cargo of a red hot liner off Babing-
ton S bat, and as the two errors behind
him or his two passes were not
disastrous Northampton did not have
a look-in. Twice in the game did they
get man as far as third and Marty,
himself, failed to bring one of them IN
while Francis failed the other time. In
each instance two were out.
Brattleboro 5 favorite stunt during
the early innings was to get man as
far as second with only. one out and
leave him there. Only once did one
reach third until the ninth and then
Hazlett flied out to Foran.
But the ninth told the story to the
very small crowd of the faithful who
were present. Miller popped out and
Crook worked a pass. Dixie attempted
to sacrifice and then tried to hit it out.
His hard grOunder to COnlev finally put
Crook on second with two out. Snyder
missed by inches the first ball pitched
! to him. He fouled the next. The third
was wide. The fourth he met squarely
| and it went on a line to right. Crook
| tore for home and would have scored
standing up had Bauer picked the ball
up clearly.
1t was a corking good game to win
and a hard one to lose. Umpire Nc
! Gamwell got through without a kick
over his decisions, but he is badly
bruised. In the second inning fou
ball hit him in the pit of the stomach
lust below his short protector and laid
him out a few minutes. An inning later
ne stopped another foul with his right
shin. He was winged on one arm anC
hit on the foot. Take it from first Il
last he had another rough day, but no.
because of his decisions.
Cargo pulled the only sensational
play. That was his jumping gloved
hand catch of Darlington s red no
liner over short. The little veteran
went high into the air for the ball am
came down with it.
The game had not progressed Yer,
| far before if was evident that it wa
to be a pitchers battle, and one /
was. No two of the hits Cram allowe
came in the same inning and no error
5 contributed to the score. NOrthamT
ton 5 only error was a muf of po
fly by Maloney, who is playing shor
while White is laid up with bad fiji
ger. Hazlett made a two-base viii
5 throw off a scratch in front of the plate
and Snyder dropped good throw t
t catch a man stealing. Those were tn
e sum total of the misplays.
1t was a delightful game to waite
f for anyone who likes a pitchers bait
n with little or no hitting, and bot
e teams fought for every point from sta
e to finish. The score:
