Babe HOmerunless

Babe Ruth, King of the long dis
lance clouters, although he did not
make any home runs, was in there
with a timely hit and some inspiring
and heady coaching on the lines.
Mike McNally, the Yankees third
baseman, rated as one of their weak
est hitters, contributed double which
blossomed into a run and jumped into
a. niche in the world series Hall of
Fame by tearing off neat steal of
home in The fifth inning for the sec
ond run IF the game.
The Yankee victory was won
against determined Giant defense,
the sterling feature of which was a
we'll pitched game by Phil Douglas,
the Nationals spitball star Douglas
had the smuggling Ruth at his mercy
after the fourth inning, striking the
Babe out :wice amid roars of approx

Douglas left the game in the
eighth inning when Earl Smith, pinch
hitter, went to bat for him and flied
out to Ruth. Barnes pitched the
ninth inning for the Giants and was
Clouted for two hits.

In the third inning he save his ad-
mrers a heart pdng when he caught
Douglas high Ay and let it bound out
uf his hands. He managed to recover
the ball however. before it could fall
to the ground. He was cheered every
time he came 10 the plate ana every

As a whole the Giants played

Tennis a Valuable Sport.

Tennis, a splendid sport, has been
started in Brattleboro high school. we
already have a court nearly finished on the
north side of the school building and plans
are being made for constructing courts on
the Hines property on Green street.
Tennis is sport that all in h. II. =.
may participate in, girls as well as boys,
1t has numerous advantages over otner
sports i'm that, as we'll as requiring agility
and coordination of mind and muscle, 1t
may be played at any time and to any eX-
tent The soft beginner may play easily
for a few minutes without feeling Ill
effects, while even the toughest player
will find enough in the game that Is siren
uous and firing.
Again, tennis has the advantage of be-
ing more nearly all year round sport
than any other we have, for it may be
PLAYED from the time the frost is out OF
the ground until snow comes. Tennis
NAV also be of value to us in making up
athletic teams for if a boy plays tennis
continually he surely will be in much
better physical condition than if he had
Just been waiting for time to pass until,
say, the football season came around.
Tennis is a good sport, and the good
work of building courts should be contln-
ued. Why didn't someone think of 1t be
fore?
