WINCHESTER TRIMS
SHELBURNE FALLS
LamsOn Air Tight, Allowing but Two
Singles-ErrOrs in Ninth Saved
Visitors from Shut-Out

Shelburne Falls, Mass, represented by
q team that has lost only five out of SO
games played this season, went down to
defeat at Winchester, \. H., Wednesday,
when the Athletic association team of
that town came out ahead in a 5-to-1 score.
Savage welding of the stick by Win
chester proved too much for the visitors.
Lamson was air tight throughout the
game and held the opposing swatters to
lone pair of bingles, although he was hit
by a pitched ball on the wrist of his
pitching arm in the first inning, and the
imprint of the seams on the ball remained
on his wrist during the game. His receiv
ing partner, Manning, received bad click
on the knee from a sharp foul later in
the game, and it began to look as if the
Winchester battery had taken jinX in as
partner.
Winchester's scoring started with a
vengeance in the first inning, the two runs
being the product of successive safe wal
lops by DOnoYan, Rose, Manning and
TimminS, the latter turning in a two
sacker. Two more were annexed in the
fifth on a couple of hits, a pass and an
error. Winchester's fifth and last run ar
rived in the next inning, when Donovan
p0led out a sharp hit to left field which
JengrO let through him and gave Donovan
third before the ball could be returned.
Rose came through with a crack for two
sacks, scoring Donovan.
The game looked like a sure-enough
shut out for the visitors until the ninth
Upton got on through Coutere's tumble
and was advanced to second by Jengro's
neat sacrifice. Another error paved the
way for his crossing the platter soon
after.
Rose made a wonderful assist to first
off Jengro's hit to right in the third, rob-
bling him of a clean single. Adler per
formed the same stunt off Timmins's hit
in Wholesalers half of the third. The
score:

Tomorrow Has Beaten Camp
NamaSchaug. Keene and Others.

The outfit from West Swanzey, which
is to play the Athletics here tomorrow,
may be small town stuff but they have
been playing big town ball since the first
of July. as their records well show, hav-
ing lost only one game out of the last
nine played. defeating Camp Namaschaug.
MillerS Falls, Keene, Bellows Falls and
others, all of whom are strong teams, some
of them having played here this season.
The Athletics have no intention of let
ting the boys from West Swanzey get
away with this game. but according to
the visitors manager that is just what
they are planning to do. so this game
should be a real contest from start to fin
iSh
Here is the lineup for West Swanzey:
Barlow, IS; Lynsky. Of Gray. 2b: Cham
paign. c: Sarsfeld. 1b; Plummer. If /:
LaFOuntain. 3b; Hanrahan, IF; and
either Hill or Lowney, pitcher.
BrattleborO has been up against the
pitching of LOwney once this season and
beat him, but since that time according
to all reports he has been pitching some
classy ball and should be ready to give
them hustle for the game.
The season is fast drawing to a close
and the fans will not have many more
opportunities to see the locals in action.
50 all aboard for the fair grounds tomor-
row afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Gardner Hill had a varied criminal rec
ord in Vermont, and although arrested
several times he usually escaped from the
officers. getting away once with handouts
on. He was arrested first in TOwnshend
by Deputy Sheriff w. NJ. Sparks for
trouble at that time, but chafed at the
delay of court procedure and vowed he
never would be arrested again.
Later he got into some trouble over
registered letter at the Rutland postofIice
and was apprehended after a lively tussle
during which both officer and prisoner
were somewhat rufled. Hill was hand
cuffed and taken by automobile to the
police station by two officers. When he
was getting out of the machine, neither
officer having n firm grasp on him, Hill
struck at both policemen with his hand
cuffed arms and got away, speeding
through the railroad yards. He was shot
at several times. but was not hit. Several
weeks later the handouts were found in
henhouSe on farm south of the city.
In the early part of September 1916,
Bellows Falls officers were asked to look
for stolen automobile. They located
ear answering the description given, and
asked the driver to show his license The
man proved to be Hill. and while making
a pretenSe at looking for the license he
jumped from the car and got away. The
car was stolen from the Spofford lake
garage and belonged to a NIillers Falls
man, who went to Bellows Falls and iden-
titled it.
Hills next episode was on Sept. Is,
1916. in the highway between Townshend
and SaxtGns River, near Athens Deputy
Sheriff George Z. Alexander of Saxtons
River had been looking for him two days.
and on that day while driving an automo-
bile he met Hill. who had a bicycle. The
wheel had no pedals and so could be
ridden only down hill, so Hill abandoned
the wheel and darted into the woods be-
side the road. The officer jumped from
his machine and fired several shots, but
none took effect. a rifle strapped TO the
bicycle had been stolen from a Saxtons
River resident
