team, the BrattlebOro Athletics lost a
seven-inning game to a team represent

yesterday morning by a score of to D.
1t never ought to have been and prob
ably would not have happened if Adams,
who relieved AIcDOnough in the fifth inn
ing, had been put in earlier in the game,
but one never can tell, for the locals
might have wabbled just as badly with
Adams in the box as they did with Me
DonOugh. The latter's work, however,
was far from the mark and did not instill
any confidence in the team. His work
did not in any way impress the fans, but
they are always willing to be shown.
The first four innings were unmerci-
fully slow, and with the Athletics play
ing amateur ball they were decidedly I'M
interesting to those who enjoy the brand
of ball the locals had been playing this
season. But the night before the Fourth

Before the season is over for the BEN

from the camp that they got away with
something, the management ought to get
them over here again and trim them up a

This is not written to give the impress
sion that the visitors were not ball play
crs, for outside of right and center field
they had fairly good team and were in
the game every minute, but were not in
a class with the Athletics, as most of the
fans know them.
The work of II. Baker at short and
Kenney in left field was very good. in fact
it was kenney's pretty catch in the last
inning that saved n tie score and pos

Camp Marquette came back with two
more runs in the second on his two hits
and three errors. a double play saved
further trouble. The Athletics also got
two i'm their half. Sparks was safe on
the pitchers error. Il. Dunlevy drew a
pass Moquin and McDonough flew out
to left. Sparks tried to steal third and

Austin singled to right, scoring Dunlevy,

connecting, although the fifth brought

good. Behind the bat is the place to get
