nings, Winning TO D.
After holding the Brattleboro Athlet
les well in hand for seven innings, al
lowing UP to that time only two hits,
Rose of the Greenfield Moose weakened,
and win the game yesterday in the 10th
with one out, the final count being to
5.
Rags" Yarker, called at the eleventh
hour to play third, on account of the alb
sence of Taylor, proved a mighty good
substitute, especially with the willow,
as it was his two-base clOut in the
eighth, after two were down that appar-
emily put the game away, but the locals
played some absent baseball i'll thel
ninth, handing the visitors the tying
run, and when the 10th came around it
was again up to YarKer to produce,
which he did by driving a pretty single
to right, scoring Plumb with the win
ming run.
Up to the fatal eighth Rose of the
Greenfield outfit twirled corking good
game, and with perfect support of his
teammates he should have had the To-
Gals with only one run, but couple OF
bad pegs gave the loeais three OF their
four runs. He lost his cunning in the
eighth and in the last three frames the
Athletics plugged his slants for six hits.
On the other hand Adams, who was
touched for one more hit than Rose,
kept them scattered throughout the
game and was well supported by his
teammates. The only error that proved
productive was the one move by Adams
in the second chat sent in a run.
From the third inning, when Brattle-
boro tied the score, up to the last man
out the game was tight and well played
except for a lapse by each team. The
one by the locals nearly proved costly.
for it was an error of commission that
sent the game into extra innings. Ad-
ans started the trouble by getting con-
fused in making the play, which should
have been an easy out, by holding the
ball too long while Trying TO decide
where to throw it, and f. Dunlevy Ii
nished it by playing for a runner be
tween first and second entirely overlook
ing the runner on third, allowing him
to score when he should have been an
easy out at the plate.
The Athletics got the jump in the first
inning when with one out +. DunleVy
drew a pass and stole second. Plumb
famed for a second out, but Kennedy
was there with the timely wallop, scor
ing Dunlevy. Kennedy stole and scored
when Greenfeld's third baseman, who
if rightfullya named sshould 'have beenl
called the crab, picked up Yarker's
roller and heaved it over first. Yarker
was left on as B. Dunlevy rolled out TOT
short
Here was an earned one and a gift.
The two of them looked good for al
starter, but not for long as the bubble
broke in Greenfeld's half of the sec
ond. putting them in the lead
Walsh. the first hitter, singled tol
on. DumingoOl laid one down to Ad-
ans, who made hurried throw to Var
ker got hit. They then pulled off dou-
bad, getting away over into the fans,
and the run went in. SchlagenhOff drew
pass. filling the bases. and right here
the visitors youthful catcher Heiburg,
showed his lack of knowledge of thel
game by laying down bunt, forcing the
runner from third on an easy play. The
bunt was perfect but very inopportune
This left the bases full up, however,
and Rose proceeded to clean them up
with long hit to right field that went
for a single. He was left on as the next
two batters were thrown out at first by
B. Dunlevy.
Adams led off in Brattleboro's half
with double. but got no farther as the
next three hitters were easy outs.
Greenfield got single to start the
third. Walsh famed and on Singley g
second. A double play was in sight but
fell short by inches. Singley did not
stay on first long for Adams shot one to
Plumb that caught him off the sack.
Adams pulled thee same stunt on Schla
genhoff in the next frame after he had
singled.
In Brattleboro' s half of the third
Greenfield brought out the silver plat
ter and presented the locals with two
runs, which tied the score and sewed
the game up tight. With one out Plumb
got hit, but was thrown trying to steal
second. Kennedy drew a pass and Var
ker got hit. They then pulled off a dou
BILE steal. B. Dunlevy got in the way of
one, but the umpire ruled it a dead ball.
He slammed the next ball at short, who
after a pretty pickup, heaved the ball
high over first and the deed was done
b. Dunlevy was left on as Adams was
thrown out by the pitcher.
From this inning on to the eighth the
locals went out in one, two, three or
der, not player reaching first base.
while the visitors had chances enough
but did not produce. having runners on
in every inning. Poor, work on the
bases kept them from being very dan
gerous.
The Athletics found themselves in the
eighth and came through with some of
the hitting which up to this time had
been an unknown quantity. With onel
out flulnD singled between Inlfu ana
short but was forced at second on Ken
nedv's hot shot to short, but beat the
double to first and stole second. Var
ker then proved himself to be the man
of the hour with a lofty drive to deep
left center on which he made second
standing up. Kennedy scoring on the
hit. B. Dunlevy looked to be due for a
bit. but his best efforr resulted in al
high fv to the pitcher. This looked to ]
be and should have been the winning |
run. for the locals were putting up a |
good article of ball at the time. but
something broke loose in the. ninth that
sent the game another inning
With one down Helburg singled to |
right Roscoe scratched a hit through
F. Dunlevy. This put runner on first /
and second. Then something happened |
Either Adams went to sleep or got the
bases mixed Anyhow Couture hit one
at him and he turned to throw first to
third. then to second. and finally back
to third. which caused him to be too /
