MarlbOrOugh's Team from Bellows
Falls ON Fair Grounds

The Brattleboro Athletics will open
their baseball season Sunday afternoon
OH the fair grounds, meeting Dan AIarl-
borough's outfit from Bellows Falls. Dan
ME always brings down a fast bunch
and takes special delight in trimming
llp the locals. but the Athletics have
practically the same outfit as last year.
with a few additions, which without
doubt will prove to be an asset to the
local aggregation and will make Dam
MES outfit go the limit to win.
The Athletics as they lined up at the
close of last season were n pretty stiff
proposition for most teams and with
the added talent which they have for
this season should prove even faster and
better than in past years.
