Italian A. G. Made Success

Late Yesterday
BY MEANS OF 1T
BRATTLEBORO WON
Visitors Put Over Five Runs
in Tenth Session at
Berlin Street


scurried out from under the paternal
wing of Coach breckenridge at the Ber-
lin street grounds yesterday afternoon
and did battle for 10 innings with the
Italian Athletics. 1t was a nip-and- tuck
affair for nine chapters, six all it stood
on the threshold of the 10th when the
locals aeroplaned into the neither spaces
long enough to allow Brattleboro five
runs and the victory. The Twin Skaters
piece of luck. The successful fight OF
Professor Langley's rejuvenated biplane
a few weeks since had nothing on that
dirigible ascension of the Italians in the
last round.
1t cannot be safely said that the
]. A. G. was up against the team that is
to represent Brattieboro in the Twin
State league this summer. Not if Brat
tleboro is to have look in on the PEN
nant race. Coach Breckinbridge's aggre-

ex-league men in the days to come will
never do.
| Speare, the University of Vermont
twirler, was on the hill for the home
team and against him Brattleboro
matched Sturtevant, Q youngster of some
promise, but still lacking in the per-
| Torrance. Sturtevant was touched for
some real saucy slaps even while the
Twin State men were getting to Speare
good and hard. Brattleboro hit in the
pinches and profted continually by bad
blunders. The game was curious adj
mixture of wizardry and baleful mis-
takes. In one moment someone would
get away with hair-raising stunt in
the field or at the bat and in the next
someone else's showing would put to
shame the merest sehoolboy. But it was
highly diverting afternoon, neverthe
less, and it's pretty long shot that
fans who stroll down to Berlin street to-
day will see the finest exhibition that
has been uncorked thus far.
Devine's clean wallop to left and puer-
lie work on the part of Giacamuzzi and
Speare made possible the first two Brat
tleboro runs. Devine tailed from second
when Lund hit to Giacamuzzi, who foo
zled. Counter returned the ball to
Speare, who slid it over second in try
ing to catch Lund. The latter went to
third and scored in the next moment on
wild pitch. With man down in the
sixth, Barrett singled to right and went
to the next pillow on Maiden's boot
He scored when David fumbled a roller
from BRAZIL There was a man gone in
the seventh when Sturtevant singled to
right and Rocler duplicated. Both tagged
the plate on Barrett's smacking double
TO the boards. That was all for the sew
enth, for Devine's high and far-away one
fell prey to the winged Bottigi in
the best catch of the day. Delaney had
already shot an easy one 10 David.
Ricciarelli's inexcusable muff in the
eighth and Speare's wild throw brought
the total up to six. With everything
tied up in the 10TH Devine flied out to
Giacamuzzi and then the pyrotechnical
display began. Lund got crack in the
thigh and Maiden made poor attempt
to field Brazilfs roller. White was hit
by pitched ball and the corners were
occupied. 1t was Sullivan who cleared
the circuit with a steaming double to
left Sullivan tailed on Sturtevant's
single, Sturtevant went along a peg on
Calcagni's miscue and registered on De
laney's sacrifice fly to Counter, who
made a prime throw home
How the Italians Scored.
There were errors by White and Sui |
livan that contributed to the Italians
first pair in the third. Comoll got the |
only hit, but free one to David kept |
the ball arolling. In the fifth Riccia- |
relli got a life on Rocler's tumble, was |
sacrificed to second and third by Maid |
en-, and came home on Davidi's nice sac
rifice to center. Although Calcagni was |
an easy out in the eighth, David got |
a walk and came over the pan on Joe |
Comolli's well known triple to the |
bushes. Joe added another run when
Counter bounded the ball to first. The |
latter made weak effort to gain second |
and was caught out by ridiculous mar
gin.
1t was in the ninth that the game was
almost negotiated and then passed over |
to the invaders with hardly struggle.
Speare singled and was sent to second |
on Giacamuzzi's sacrifice roller to first.
Little Steve Marchesi, whose name would
have been on every tongue last night ]
had the hometowners won, was sent in
as pinch hitter. Stevie did nothing but
pole out splendid double that Tailed
Speare. Marchesi went TO station No. 3
on Maiden's neat single to shallow right.
And Maiden went down on the next ball.
1t was here that Maiden. fresh from the
college campus and tutelage of Coach
Winter, attempted to pull something
that works about once in a season out
side the big time. Willie thought to
score Marchesi from third by drawing a
throw from the box. He succeeded only
so far as he drew the throw; Marchesi
scampered home in time to be tagged out
by less than three yards. That made
two men down and Calcagni, next up.
famed. Three ment went down in order
for the Italians in the 10th. The score:
Brattleboro.
