leaguers 90 against the young upstairs
handled by "Billv' Hamilton. Prob
abv some hundred or so of money

from Greenfield Speaking in figures
the scores were II to 4 and to o,
Brattleboro being on the short end of
both There was no evidence that
Brattleboro had any license to be on
the long end of either, although Green
field got all the breaks in the first
game. Twice hard-hit liners went iii
rectly into the hands of visiting in
fielders and made doubling up Of other
runners easy.
The first game was mostly hard raps
by both sides, Greenfield 5 being made
when they were likely to do some good.
Most of Brattleboro' Is were wasted ann
munition. The second game was very
much the property of Mr.. Sherman,
who is quite accustomed to walking
away with games he pitches. He allow
eel only seven scattered singles, one
man only getting as far as third, fan
ned 10, made two hits and scored two
runs, one more than was sufficient to
have beaten the Islanders. a luggle Of
a grounder that Partenhtimer tried to
take in front Of Glennon was the only
error chargeable to his support.
Manager O'IIara presented May

New England league, and he lasted s1V-
en- innings, during which the visitors
made their six runs. He was succeeded

mtted to get over the rubber. After
that he got along nicely until the
eighth and Brattlehoro showed signs OF
whacking out runs enough to square
the account, but MaHager Hamilton
who was in uniform on the sidelines

sings of peevishness in the seventh
and SagCr, who came in with one out

Tormey, who has been appearing witt
Northampton, was in the Grtenfiel,

the first game a single and triple an,
