Hitting them hard and often, the White
Sox of Keene and the Brattleboro Ath-
letics pulled off an interesting game on
the Valley fair grounds yesterday after
noon, when the locals handed the visit
ors a right royal trouncing by the score
of rs to 9.
While the box score shows that the
White SoX connected for just as many hits
as did the Athletics, they were not so
opportune, and the fourth. seventh and
ninth innings were the only occasions on
which they were able to bunch and score.
The Athletics made most of their hits
count. scoring in every inning except the
eighth their last trip up.
Brattleboro assumed the lead in the
first inning and added to it in the second
and third making a 4-to-O edge for Moore
to work on, but the White SoX broke the
bubble in the fourth and made things look
dubious for few minutes, collecting five
runs on as many hits, a pass and two
errors. The Athletics evidently had their
batting toys on, however, for IN their
half of the inning Moore, first up. drew
pass, Johnson famed. +. Dunlevy got a
free ticket and Kennedy came through
with the best swat of the game, long
line drive to left field. good for three bases.
scoring two runs and putting the locals
again in the lead. From that inning on
the locals were never in danger of being
headed.
Keene added two in the seventh making
the count II to Z. The Athletics. how

held to a single, but let it get away from
him. and Kennedy made the circuit be-

the bases with a scOrching line drive over

Moore. with n nine-run Leaf, proceeded
to take things easy in the ninth. allowing

Anger and forcing Powers to lay Down an
easy one for the last out.
Powrs and Kepple were the visitors
big noise with the stick, while Kennedy
and Il. Dunlevy furnished theFbulk of the
work in this department for the locals
with Filion and Plumb as runners-up.
The latter also furnished the feature play
of the game. plucking a drive over first
ont of the ozone with one hand.
+. Dunlevy left nothing undoue in his
travels around second base, turning in
nine chances without a slip.
Brattleboro had three new ones in the
lineup. Donnelly in right field. Sparks at
third base aud Moquin behind the bat.
Donnelly was in the game for only three
innings, so not much can be said of his
work. Sparks handled his chances
Fcleanly, but was little slow in coming in
for the ball. When he gets accustomed to
the field he should be able to cover the
hot corner in good shape.
Moquin did well behind the plate. has a
good whip and shows promise of develop
ing into a good backstop and while he
got only one single in five times up he
hit the ball hard and on a line but into
somebody's hands.
With the added talent which the Brat
tlebOrO Athletics have this season some
body is going to step some to beat them
and at that some of the talent has not
been uncovered yet. The summary:
