The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1921-10-03

Performance for Locals and Keeps
Hits Scattered.
In spite of substitutions in Brattle-
boro's lineup Dannie Marlboro's Bellows
Falls warriors We're unable to negotiate
that nmch-desired win, finishing on the
short end of a 6-to-3 count on the Valley
fair grounds yesterday.
There is no question that Dannie had
carefully laid his plans to- take this
game. for he brought along the redoubt
able Chick" Murphy to do the twirling,
but "ChicB's' vocabulary was not to the
umpire's liking in the fifth, and after
heated argument Chick retired for the
afternoon.
With the ball field dismantled for the
season, the backstop and side line posts
having been taken away. the place looked
rather barren and somehow it seemed to
affect the interest of the fans, for although
the teams played good ball the enthusiasm
that had been so keen throughout the sea
son was lacking, except in the fifth inning,
when Brattleboro tied the score. Outside
of that inning the fans principal amuse-
ment seemed to consist of trying to get

some of the remarks they must have en-
ioyed themselves i'll the attempt.
Burke was on the mound for the locals
and turned in a very good performance,
holding the visitors to nine hits, which
he kept well scattered. Nine of their
wOuld-be clOuters went out over the strike
out route and had Burke been accorded
perfect support only one run would have
been scored.
Murphy also twirled good brand of
ball. holding the locals to three singles in
four and two-thirds innings, all of which
went to Taylor. Rel finished the fifth
inning when Murphy got the gate, taking
up the burden with a runner on third
and two down. and got away without let
ting the run in, but the locals jumped on
his slants in the next two frames, clinch-
ing the game.
Bellows Falls was presented with two
counters in the opening frame. MahOney,
first up, hit the first pitched ball for a
single Mockesy scratched an infield hit.
Moynihan hit to Il. Dunlevy, who forced
the runner at second L. Dunlevy, in at
tempting n double play, overthrow first
which permitted Alahoney to score and
put MOynihan on second. Fitzgerald hit
to second and was thrown out at first.
Taylor played the ball to third to get
AIoynihan, but his fly was too high and
let the second cheap run over the plate.
L
on c. AIurphy'S double to left center, adj
vancing to third on an out at first and
scored on Aloynihan's single to left. After
the third inning Burke had the visitors
well in control and was never in danger.
BrattleborO did not break into the run
column until the fifth. With one down
f. Dunleyy drew a free ticket. Kennedy
hit to short, who made a bad peg to first,
allowing Dunlevy to reach third. Ken
ncdy stole second and Taylor came
through with his third single to right
field, scoring two runs. Il. Dunlevy hit to
short and again the peg was bad, Taylor
reaching third on the play.
b. Dunlevy started for second while
Murphy was getting set to pitch, and
to keep Taylor from scoring let DunIevy
get away from them. pulling up safe and
sound at second. g. Barry hit one on
top that {. Murphy picked up and instead
OF playing the ball to the catcher tried
to get the runner himself, but failed as
Taylor slid under. i. Dunlevy ran past
third on the play and when Murphy tried
to tag him went out of the base line to
avoid being touched. Murphy here inter
Jected some strong language that the
umpire did not like, and for a few min
utes the game looked to be all off but
after some discussion Il. Dunlevy was
called out for running out of the loose
line, which left the count knotted. Reil
went in to pitch and the side was retired
without further trouble.
Rel got into Il peck of trouble in the
next frame and lost the game, for after
two were down K. Barry singled, F. Dun
levy got hit, and Kennedy picked a good
one, driving it to the race track just in i,
side the foul line, a clean three-base hit, |
scoring Barry and DunIevy, but when
Kennedy tried to stretch the hit to a |
home run he was thrown out at the plate |
BrattlebOros last tally came in the sew
enth, when with one down b. Dunlevy |
doubled to left field. stole third and scored |
on Barry's out at first. The score: |
BRhTTLEBORO.
