And Some Sensational Stops and Catch-es In the Game Which Brattleboro Won 5 to 4 from Bellows Fall, Five fast double plays and some sensational stops and catches marked the gamo which Brattleboro won 6 to 4 from iBellows Falls on the home grounds Saturday afternoon before a crowd of over 900 people. Sarcka, a southpaw from Proctor, who has attracted much attention In Rutland county, was on the firing line for the locals. He gave a good account of himself, although licrvous and a trifle wild, Issuing four passes and hitting two batters.

He had eight strikeouts to his credit and was found for only six hits. He distinguished himself by batting safely on each of this three trips to the plate and two of his drives were very timely. F. Crowther made some brilliant stops and Gulheen's playing was high grade. Jacobs, late of the Lawrence club of the New England league, made a good Impression at third base, and connected with the spheroid for two safeties.

The most remarkable play of the day was made by Loud In the eighth Inning. He was playing deep In centre Held when Gulheen smashed the ball nearly to the flagpole for a drive ordinarily good for three bases. Loud kept running back for the ball and finally stabbed It with his left hand. The catch was warmly applauded at the time, and at the end of the Inning when Loud walked to the players' bench. Brattleboro scored twice In the third inning on a combination of hits by" Jacobs, Mayforth and Sarcka, errors by Vance and Keady, and Snell's long fly to centre Held which gave Sarcka an opportunity to come home after the ball was caught.

Jacobs was thrown out at the plate In this Inning In trying to score from second base on Sarcka's hit. In the seventh hits by Jacobs, Sarcka and Grow, with the assistance of Sarcka's stolen base and an error by Caw-ley, netted three moro runs. Mayforth's wide throw to second when Keady was on thrd in the fifth allowed the Bellows Falls captain to score. In the eighth the visitors made conditions exciting by scoring three times on four hits. Donnelly misjudged one drive which ought to have been caught, and Grow failed to stop a fast bounding ball from Keady's bat, so that the veteran traveled three bases on a hit that should have been good for but one base.

In the ninth, when Bellows Falls needed but one run to tie the score, the batsmen were quickly retired in order. Brattleboro, ab. r. h. po.

Malcolm pitched well enough to win under ordinary circumstances, but the break of luck was against him. A "bad mess" was made of the game in the flint limine. Eddie Kayers, lirst up, drove the ball straight at Donnelly, who muffed it. Durgln hit to Jacobs, who turned to throw to second, but F.

Crowther failed to cover the base and Jacobs was compelled to throw to first, barely missing his man. A moment later May forth pegged wildly to llrst txise ami Eayres 'scored and Durgin reached third. Durcln scored on Fish's lilt. Keene's other score was made In the fifth inning. Ostergren singled.

Crook hit a grounder to Snell. who might have touched the runner for an out, but he tried to get Ostergren at second, threw wide, ami both men werc safe. Then the base runners pulled off a double steal. Proctor hit to Donnelly, who caught the ball and threw Ostergren out at tho plate when he tried to score from third. Eddie Eayres brought Crook home with a hit to right Held.

In the eighth Inning, Euyres, llrst up, smashed to right field for a double, but did not advance beyond second, as Durgln popped up a foul for Mayforth and Fish and Donovan fanned. Several good catches were made in the outfield, but the game was largly devoid of brilliant features. Eayres met the ball fiercely, but was the only man on either team who did effective stick work. Goddard went In as a pinch hitter in the last of the eighth and twirled the last Inning for the Islanders. Keene, ab.

The otllclal score gives Brattleboro three errors, but visitors irom bere declare that the fault was not with the Brattleboro pitchers, but with the team back of them, through loose fielding and inability to bat effectively. Keene, ab. r. h. po.
