The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1920-08-30

Woods of Crescents Does Swell Work
at Third Base.
Mastery pitching by Moore, ably
| supported by his teammates, caused the
downfall of the Crescent A. C. at Keene
Saturday afternoon by score of to
l.
1t was mighty costly game for the
Athletics, however, as they lost the
services of Capt. Kennedy in the third
| inning when one of Conant S speed
balls caught him fairly in the head,
putting him down and out. He was
| taken to the hospital and it was
thought at first that he might have sus-
| tanned a fracture of the skull, but such
was not the case. He could have been
released yesterday, but it was thought
best for him to remain until today. His
mother went to Keene Saturday night
| and viii return with him today.
Fans who followed the team to Keene
rather expected that the incident would
upset the players, but the boys went
after the keene team with hammer and
tongs. Their attack in the next two inn
ings was rather vicious, collecting seven
hits and five runs, enough to win the
game.
Moore for Brattleboro pitched the
best game of the seson, allowing only
two hits in the first seven innings. He
was rather liberal with passes in the
early part of the game, but frightened
up with men on bases and after the
second inning was never in danger
Barry played a wonderful game at
center for the Athletics, covering
ground like a shadow, turning in four
pretty catches, one of them long
drive to deep right center which he had
to sprint some to get.
The team a a whole turned in some
very opportune hitting, for while they
did not pile up a large total what they
did get came when hits counted.
With two men out in the first inn
ing Taylor drew a free ticket, Under
wood singled and both moved up on a
wild pitch. Yarker came through with
a pretty single to left field, scoring
Taylor and Underwood. Dunlevy closed
the inning by raising one to left field.
Keene got one Of these back in their
half, as Moore passed the first two hit
tiers, Faulkner put up a foul fly for
Clune. and Cook drove one to deep left
center on which Barry made a pretty
play, but both runners advanced base
after the catch Punt shot a single
through short, scoring one, and Foun-
tain closed the inning by letting one
to Yarker
Kcenc went out in nearly one, two,
throc order for the next six innings
Brattleboro threatened in the third inn
ing when, with one out, Kennedy was
hit in the head. After some delay
kaine was sent in to run for him. Tay-
Tor cracked a single to right field, |
kaine going to third, Taylor taking sec
ond on the throw to get Kaine. I'm |
derwood hit TO the pitcher and Kaine |
tried for home only to be tagged out |
Garker was passed, filing the bases. |
With Dunlevy at bat Miner tried to |
ret Taylor off third, but he dug for the |
olate and apparently had the throw |
nome beaten, but the umpire ruled |
otherwise.
The Athletics were not to be denid, |
however, as the next inning proved. |
Dunlevy, first up, stopped one with his |
lrm, went to first and promptly stole |
second. Burke famed, but Clune
punched out a single. putting Dunlevy |
IN third. Clune stole second, Moore |
'cfted foul to Woods, and Barry shot |
single to right field, scoring Dun
levy. Fountain gathered up the ball |
