The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-08-29

The first game had a very favorable
opening for the Company l outfit, and,
as it proved, a mighty expensive one for
the LasUers, as the three runs which they
diShed out to the Soldiers proved to be
more than they could negotiate through
out the game. Whitney, u new conner,
was the first to face Burke and cele-
brated by tanning. Wells got nicked by
a pitched ball and then DOnneily, with
u chance for double play, distinguished
himself by messing up Manning offer
ing and both runners were safe, whereas
with clean handling of the ball on Don
nelly 5 part the side would have been re-
tired without a run. StOWell connected

light, tor after getting Clune's perfect
peg to second, which had Winchester by
a good margin, he dropped the ball in

pensive as his previous miscue, as Win

out, X. Barry to Burnham.
Company l looked to be on the road to
more scoring in the next frame, as Sta
pies, first up, led off with a single. but
on an attempted sacrifice Whitney
popped one to Burke and the runner was
doubled off first. Wells made the third
out, rolling one to Burnham.
Staples, who seems to have the buffalo
sign on the Lasters, kept them from do

to Burke who, after hesitating, threw to
