The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1914-05-11

o .
Joined third and scored on Butler $
sharp single to left, which was not
chargcable to the ground. Brattlebo-
70 did nothing except that Newell
seized an opportunity and the ball at
one and the same time, dcpriving
Whlttemore of double Rob Angler
got a double, but two had died prior
to that interesting events-and Dun
levy succumbed on strikes, although
differing with the umpire on that
point.
Brattlcboro Gets Started
Brattleboro started going in the see
ond. Knight doubled and Ray Angler
worked a pass. They stole smuta-
neously. Bracket hit to Barry who
slammed the ball at Butler and the
catcher slammed it on to Knight as
he slid in to the plate. Butler dropped
the ball, but carefully concealed the
act from Umpire Clune, and instead of
run being home and no one out the
run had gone somewhere else and one
man was out. Ray Adams banged a
double to left that he thought was la
beled three bases, but it WASH t. Has
Whittemore 5 long double to center.
Whit, too, thought he saw triple
marked on that hit, but he didn t.
Russell was having busy time at
third.
The third was similar to the second
in the number of runs scored, couple
of passes and an error by Barry help
ing out and a wonderful running one
hand stop by Phillips helping to keep
down the number to only three
n pass, three singles and an error
by Whittemore that was not entirely
chargeable to the ground, gave the
Townshend boys three runs in the
fourth. Brattleboro lay dormant in
that inning preparing for the next
two.
Nino Runs in the Sixth.
AT this point the scorer pleads an
alibi or nolo contendere or not guilty,
and if none of these is acceptable he
appeals. One thing is certain he will
submit the score book to any Judge
and let him write out the answer. He
refuses to do it except to say that
three runs were gathered in the fifth
and nine in the sixth and there NAV
have been more, but he doesn t think
so, and anyhow there can t nobody
prove it.
1t was in this mess that Dunlevv
got single and a double in the same
inning, but gets credit for only two
singles. Capt. Angler was on first and
was so anxious to see if he couldn t
score from that point on Dunlevv 5
! crack that he omitted the formalitv of
touching the second cushion on the
| tlccd this slight omission and he took
! 1t upon himself to call il to the attcn-
| tlon of the base runner. Apparentlv
| the captain realized he had failed in
! slipping one over so he returned tt the
bag, getting there about the time Dun
! levy landed ~ hat particular spot. 4
consultation followed and Dunlevy
| mked back to first while Capt Angler
chidcd the umpire for watching things
that were none of his business and
! then speaking out loud about them. 1t
| should be understood in order to appre-
J cate the scorers position, that a
! couple of runs had numbered over the
! plate and nobody seems to know
whether either of the bearers of those
runs touched anything or not.
! Haskell worked four innings and
should have had only three runs scored
off his delivery, the first being a gift
pure and simple, Knight allowed only
one hit in his two innings and started
fast double play. Verne Adams
would have gotten through his three
innings without a score but for three
errors. one of which he contributed
| himself
The only fielding stunts were two
running catches by Newell and Phil
lips's stop and throw off Knight.
Ray Angler turned in perfect score
at the bat and Bracket and Dunlevv
connected for three each. These are
the figures compiled:
