fore Rally Was Squelched.
Right in the midst of lombard
ment of Donald bikes shius by the
batsmen of Northampton team at Is
land park yesterday afternoon, two of
the main guys of the inner defenses
wobbled and the visitors, who had won
an easy double header ut Bellows Falls
the day before, piled up six runs Adj
ded to one they had been allowed to ac-
quire earlier in the game, according to.

tation it gave them total Of seven.
The Islanders had only four for total
and the first defeat in six games was
chalked up against them. ...-s.
''Rube" Cram, generous as ever,
worked against the Islanders but his
10 passes did not do so much damage
as they might have done. His mates
played steady ball behind him, ana
some way or other they always seemed
to have just a little bit in reserve, eX-
cept in the sixth when We got three
runs that looked bigger than Wantas-
tiquCt mountain until the next inning
when those six runs on the other side
of the ledger reduced the altitude Of
our total to the size of molehill.
Darlington opened the first with Il
single, but Mills forced him at second.
Dixie picked Mills off first and White
was easy for Q Hara. Cargo was pass
ed in the last half, stole second clean
