when they defeated the AIillers Falls
team Z to 3.
Dug" Smith did not appear as adyer-
tised sudden illness making it necessary
for him to take a trip to the hospital for
an operation. His brother went with
him, and by taking these two players
from the visitors lineup they were not as
strong team as they had planned to
bring.
! Adams was touched up freely, but was
accorded the usual support in the pinches
that put him over the rough spots. On
two occasions the bases were full and
yet the Alillers Falls crew, although they
whanged the ball hard. coulud not pro-
duce the opportune single to put over the
run. On the other hand while the Ath-
letics did not nick MaryeTs slants to any
great extent they got them when they
counted most, hooking them up with the
visitors misplays and errors of omission.
| There were times when it looked as if
| for the benefit of the visitors somebody
| really ought to put handle on the ball,
| for they seemed to have considerable
trouble in picking it up at times, making
1 at least three distinct attempts before
| being able to get hooked on.
Marvel for Alillers Falls had lots of
| steam and pretty under-hand ball that
| he worked with a croSstire to good advan-
tage. His control was not of the best
and put him in wrong at times He
, turned in a good job of fielding, taking
one put out at the plate, and covered first
| base for put outs twice. 4. Smith could
not hold on to the speed which Marvel
| sent up, consequently credit for five
| strikeouts was lost.

and the manner in which they took to
Adams's offerings gave the impression
| that the score was to be a big one but in
spite of the fact that the visitors, nicked
| Adams for three singles in the first
| frame. not a runner reached home. This
was what happened: f. Robinson, first
up, lofted to Kennedy for an out. Grit
| fin singled to right, but was forced at
| second on DOriss roller to Adams. Mar
| vel singled over second. c. Smith dropped
a Texas Lacquer over short, filling the
bases. but X. Robinson hit to Taylor for
a third out, pulling out of a ticklish
| situation.
Brattleboro proceeded to put over two
in their half of the first Austin grounded
to short. f. Dunlevy drew a pass and
! Kennedy sacrificed him TO second. Tay-
lOr came through with a single over sec
! Ond, on which Il. Dunleyy scored. Tay-
4 Tor stole second. H. Dunleyy scratched
a single to second and with no chance to
| get the runner at first made bad peg
! that let Taylor score. Il. Dunlevy going
to second. He got a big lead and as he
| started to steal third. Marvel uncorked n
wild pitch. Dunlevy made bid for
home on the play. but was tagged out on
a close play.-Smith to Marvel.
Both teams added one in the third.

| had to knock down or be knocked down
| and played to third to get the runner,
but was too late The throw was poor,
| the ball getting away from Plumb. allow
| inc the runner to score Marvel was left
| on as G. Smith raised one to r. Dunlevy

suit of Austin's two-sacker He made
third on poor handling of the ball. F.
Dunlevy scratched an infeld single, scor-
! ing Austin. and stole second as the next
| three batterS went out in order.
A pretty catch by Filion in right field

vel tried to field but fell all over. Austin

| get Austin. Kennedy famed Taylor
