| Pitched well Enough TO VIII, puI A0
Gals Took Advantage of Every Open
ing - StoweIl Uses bean" to Good
Advantage Errorless.
| True to their word, the Athletics took
revenge on Turner's Falls yesterday
afternoon by trimming them to in the
best game of the season, the home team
playing absolutely errorless ball while
Turner's Falls made only three misplays
J. Casey, playing at short, unused up
two grounders and was removed, gong
into centerfeld, while Brazeau at third
made one bad peg to first.
The three errors resulted IN the one
run that came in the second inning
After this one bad spell Turner's Falls
played a fast, snappy game and while
they outhit Brattleboro they could not
connect when hits meant runs.
The locals showed far more inside ball
than at any other time this season. Get
ting the base runner into scoring posi-
ton in a tight game counts, as was
shown by yesterdays demonstration.
DeRosier, who hurled for Turner's
Falls, pitched well enough to win, but
the breaks of the game were against him
and the locals slid into every opening
that showed up, for up to the seventh
inning only two hits had been gathered
off his pitching yet the locals had cor
nered three runs, which proved enough
to win the game.
DeRosier pitched against Fort Dunn
mer at Island Park about two years ago,
turning in fine performance allowing
no hits and no runs.
Yarker had n big day in the field,
turning in nine chances without a mis-
play, showing good judgment on two
occasions by playing for the nearest man
when a throw at first might have meant
trouble.
Just how much the Athletics were in
the game is shown by the box score,
which records two sacrifice hits, sacri-
flee fly and two double plays, One of the
last mentioned was a pretty job carried
out to satisfy the most rabid fan. With
a man on third by virtue of a triple and
only one out DeRosier lifted a high fly
to Barry in ccnterfield, who was playing
deep. Barry came in under and without
losing a second whipped the ball home
after the catch. The ball took Just one
nice little hop and Clune completed the
play by putting it on the runner.
The batting of Hanley and Eppler for
Turner's Falls was a feature of the game,
Hanley collecting double, triple and
two free tickets in five tries. Eppler
connected for four singles in as many
times at bat.
Things didn't look a bit promising for
Brattleboro in the first inning. The first
man up drew pass, advancing to second
on a wild pitch. DeRosier hit a hot one
to Garker, who bluffed a throw to first
and whipped the ball to Dunlevy at sec
Ond, getting the runner off the bag.
Eppler came through with single over
second, but Laskoski saved the score by
tanning. The locals tried hard for a run
in their half as Dunleyy drew a pass and
by pretty piece of base running reached
third on Underwood's sacrifice. but
neither Yarker nor Taylor could bring
him in. The former grounded to third
and Taylor lifted one to centerfeld.
The second inning looked even worse
for Brattleboro. With two out p. Casey
scratched a hit. Secord drew a free
ticket. Stowell here showed good iudg-
ment by walking Hanley to take chance
on j. Casey, and the dope proved good as
he slammed one at Yarker, who stepped
on the bag, forcing Secord, getting the
: locals out of a bad situation.
u The Athletics were presented a CHEAP
run in their half of the second. Barry
got life on the shortstops error, Rattle
whanged one at third, who iuggIed and
4 then threw over first. Stowell lifted a
high one to deep eenterfield and Barry
went to third after the catch. Rattle
taking second on the throw in. Laskoski
let one of DeRosier's shoots get awav
/ from him and Barry beat the throw to
the plate. Clune famed for third out.
Brattleboro added two more in the third
Dunleyy, first up, beat out a slow roller
down the third base line Underwood
famed. Yarker hit one to short that
got away from him. Taylor hit one to
right field, scoring Dunlevy, and then a
funny thing happened. The centerfelder.
coming In for the hit, booted the ball
and with an eye on YarSer, planning to
pick him off trying for third, he lost
track of the ball. Yarker and TAYLOR
: were quick to take advantage of the
huke, Yarker scoring, Taylor going to
/ second-a cheap run but commonly
called one of the breaks of the game
Kennedy drew pass and Barry closed
the inning by grounding to third.
The fifth inning brought forth the
double play by Barry and Clune, already
described. The locals turned in another
double play in the sixth Eppler, first
up, singled to right Laskoski irving ia
sacrifice him to second raised a pop fly.
