Keens Finally Landed the Game 6 to 4 Peplcskl's Catch In the 10th Spoil ed Drattleboro's Chance to Win, Tho Jinx which has hovered over Is land park was not dispelled Friday, but It wavered long enough to allow tho contest to go to 11 Innings and In tho last half of tho 10th inning a Brattle boro victory was better than a two to one shot. But tho Bceno shifted In a moment and Keeno pulled out a victory 0 to 4 In the 11th Inning! Tho credit of saving the gamo to Kcene should bo given to Pitcher I'ep loskl, who was playing In left Held, lie made some lino catches previous to tho 10th inning, but at that time he struck his hardest blow against Brattleboro. In the 10th, after Malcolm had been thrown out at first by Proctor, Grow and Rld lon batted safely, Peploski was play ing a deep Held when Mayforth hit the ball to short left field, The drive looked safo to everybody and Grow took a long lead toward third. Peploski sprint ed In great style and on the dead run picked tho ball oft his shoestrings, and throwing to second, caught Grow, retir ing the side. At this time Keene had al ready been at the bat, tho scoro was tied and the next batter up would have been Knell, the most consistent hitter in the entire league. It was a great and deciding play which Peploski made. In tho 11th, after Lynch had struck out, PrOctor hit safely and stole second. Anderson struck out, and the situation did not look bad even with Proctor on second. Durgln' was purposely passed to first on balls. Little Fish, the Keene catcher, hit sharply to the outfield and Proctor scored, Durgln going to third. Then Jimmy Iloran hit to right field and Durgln came home. Donovan filed out to Gulheen. In Drattleboro's half of the 11th Snell and Hoban wcro thrown out at first. Donnelly met the ball for his third safety of the day. Donovan failed to hold Gulheen's grounder and Brattle boro had men on first and third, but Maiden hit a grounder to Anderson and was out at first. We have told the story of the end ing of tho game first, but the contest was Interesting and spirited from start to finish. It was a high grade game of ball all tho way, and every spectator re ceived his money's worth, even if the home team lost. Keene started the scoring In the first inning. Durgln laid down a bunt and was safe. The lnflelders played In close for a bunt from Fish but ho dropped the ball over third base. After Iloran was thrown out at first Donovan cracked out a, single and both men scored. Brattle boro secured a run in the second on Knell's hit, Hoban's sacrifice and Don nelly's hit. In the sixth Kcene scored twice on three hits, a sacrifice and two bases on balls, Wardwell forcing in one run by giving a baee on balls with the bases filled. Malcolm relieved Wardwell in the seventh. In the seventh Brattleboro touched up Anderson In lively style, singles, by Snell, Donnelly and Gulheen and Mal colm's hard smasli for two bases netting three runs. Midget Maiden played a star gamo in left field, pulling down two long drives that looked good for extra bases. Keene, ab. r. h. po. a. e.

And 10 With a Total of 15 Off the Mtohty Peploski, Brattleboro Winning from Keene by a Score of 8-0 Kecne's first defeat at home was ' ministered by Brattleboro Saturday, 8 to 0. Davles was very effective, holding Kcene to two hits, one of which was a scratch, The mighty Peploski was found for long hits just when they wero need od. Not a man on the Keene team saw third base. Brattleboro started the scor ing In the second on a base on balls to Iloban, hits by Gulheen and Darrows, nnd a smash by Davles through the trees beyond right field into tho waters of tho murky Ashuelot. According to ground rules this hit was good for only three bases. In the third Brattleboro chalked up two points on a hit by May forth, a base on balls to Donnelly, and Gulheen's hard drive to deep centre field for two bases. In the seventh, with Snell and Iloban on bases, Donnelly slammed the ball over the river bank for three bases. In the eighth Darrows was safo when Durgln failed to touch first after stopping a grounder. Darrows took two bases on a hit by Davles and scored on a long drive by Grow to left field. Grow played a fine gamo at third and Donovan contributed soma fielding features to the game. Tho Keeno fans wero very noisy in tho first part of the game, throwing all sorts of jibes and jeers at the Brattleboro players, but long before the ninth Inning the shout ing and the tumult ceased, tho Kcene spectators commenting quietly upon tho masterly pitching of Davles and tho hit ting prowess of the Brattleboro players.

The hoodoo vanquished, vanished and Tuesday Brattleboro took the first game of the season on the home grounds by a scoro of 3 to 1, against Bellows Falls. Stlmpson, the Bates college boy, pitch ed a fine game, one of Drattleboro's dis cards, Vance, being tho only man to solve his delivery to any extent. Vanco fattened his already big batting av erage by belting tho ball for four safe-' ties. Darrow, tho new man, had a hard time at short, but his chances were dif ficult and ho went after everything In a wide rango of territory. Dcsplto his errors Darrow looked good, Brattleboro started the scoring in the third on Mayforth's hit and Snell's double, both hits being made after two were out. In the fourth Gulheen batted safely, stole second and third by using his head instead of his legs, and scored on Darrow's hit. In the sixth Gulheen was given a free passage to first. When iloban struck out he stole second, and ambled to third when Darrow was be ing retired at first. Flaherty walked and then started to steal second. This movement drow a throw from the catch er to second. Flaherty slowed up be tween the bases and the second base man threw home, but not quickly or accurately enough to catch Gulheen. The visitors would have been blank ed but for Grow's wild peg over first base in tho fifth In an effort to com plete a double play. In the seventh with tho bases filled and ono out Bellows Falls sent In Wright and Eckstrom ns pinch hitters, but tho former struck out and the latter hit an easy grounder to Stlmpson. Glbbs, the former Athol high school boy, twirled effectively for Bel lows Falls in the last three innings. Brattleboro, ab. r. h. po. a. e.

Darrow batted for .310 before coming here. "Eddie" Eayres of Providence was In town yesterday and talked with the lo cal directors. He was clalmei by Keene and by Brattleboro, and as tho direc tors of tho two associations could not agree qb to which team should have him he returned yesterday afternoon to Providence. Umpire Rudderhnm wns given his walking papers at tho end of the week, His work was generally unsatisfactory. He wns right on one decision on which the Keene rooters kicked Saturday. Durgln failed to touch first baso and Rudderham called tho runner, Darrow, safe, When MoLeod was at bat In tho ninth Inning of tho same gamo tie hit the ball several feet in front of the base and Rudderham called "foul," but this de cision did not trouble the Keene co horts. Rudderhnm'g greatest weak ness was In falling to get his binocu lars on curved balls which cut the plate. , ELLOWS FALLS WON YESTERDAY.

It Is expected that Carolan, the big first baseman with Bennington, will Join the Keene club next week. Mackey, who umpired satisfactorily In Tuesday's game here, lives in North Ad ams. He has had an experience of many years as a catcher and manager. Peploski of Keeno has signed a con tract with the Detroit Americans, but it is expected that he will finish out this season In the Twin State league. Maiden went from here early In the week to the White Mountains, where he will play on one of the summer teams. O'Brien, third, baseman from Holy Cross college, and Smith, a first baseman from the University of Vermont, also left at the same time. The Boston Sunday Globe featured Malcolm and Mayforth as the great col lege battery of the year, using the same picture of the two playeis that appear ed in The Phoenix several weeks ago, In connection with a story of the good work which they did for their college team this season. Rlxoy, the left-handed pitcher of the University of Virginia, 'was slated by Manager Hazelton for a regular posi tion with, the Brattleboro team, but about June 15 he decided to Join the Philadelphia Athletics. I He made his debut in major league company on Fri day, when he shut out the Boston Red Sox. , Brattleboro and Bellows Falls will meet In battle array again this after noon on the Island grounds.

Brattleboro will go to Keene Friday, July 19. The next Saturday game at home will be against Keene, July 20. Pitcher Jason Malcolm has gone to his home In Bridgeport, Conn., for a vaca tion of two weeks and perhaps four weeks. He has not been In condition since coming here, being troubled with a sore arm. In college baseball this season he lost but two games, and last season at Coopertown, N. V., ho won Is out of 20 games. It Is believed that with a good rest he will bo able to return here in top notch form. In condition Mnlcolm ought easily to bo the most ef fective pitcher In the league. Tho Northampton Herald makes a feature of tho batting and fielding av erages of the Twin State league at tho end of each week. It figured that Vanco of Bellows Falls led tho league at the end of last week with an average of .444 In three games. The other heavy hitters, according to the Herald's figures, were, as follows: Keene, Fish .363, Oster gen .317; Bellows Falls, Keady .378, Wright .352, Volk .342!

DRAPER BEQUEST IS NOW OPERATIVE Memorial Clock Tower Being Built at Retreat Will Surmount Casino Dulldlng and Dials Will De Illuminated Equipped with Tubular Dell. When Dr. Joseph Draper, who was for many yenrs superintendent of tho Brat tleboro Retreat, died March 27, 1892, he left a will In which provision was made for n clock tower at the Retreat for the benefit of the patients who wished to note the passing of the hours during the night. The bequest was not to become" operative during tho life of Mrs. Draper, but the latter Is desirous of seeing the tower nnd sharing in the benefit of it, and accordingly plans nro going forward for Its erection at once. Tho tower will contain an electrically Illuminated clock and will be located above the middle section of the handsome memorial casino and gymnasium building, erected the past year on the Retreat grounds south of the main building. The trustees be came convinced, after careful considera tion of the various possible sites, that the most feasible plan would bo to erect It on tho roof of the memorial building. It will be known as the Draper memor ial clock tower. Mrs. Draper was designated as the sole executrix of her husband's will, and while, as above stated, the bequest was not to become operative until' Mrs. Draper's decease, by unanimous consent ot the executrix and other legatees It was decided that the memorial should be built now. The clause In Dr. Draper's will creat ing this legacy reads as follows; "I give and bequeath to the Brattleboro Retreat In Brattleboro, Vermont, ten thousand dollars, one-half for tho endowment of a free bed In said Institution, and one- half for the erection ot a clock tbwer and placing and maintaining therein a clock which shall strike the hours and which can be seen from all or nearly all the wards, my experience having shown me that It Is a great comfort to sleep less persons to be able to note tho passage of the hours during the time of darkness. New steel trusses will be required to strenghthen tho building, and to serve as a support for the tower which Is to be 36 feet above the ridge-pole and 13 feet In diameter at the base. The clock dials, four In number, are to be five feet In diameter, above which will be the bell. The clock and bell will bo Installed by the E. Howard Clock company of Boston, who have furnished most of the large nnd expensive clocks throughout the United States, The specifications call for a powerful hour and half-hour strik ing clock and tubular bell. All of the dials will be of sectional glass and Iron suitable for Illumination, so that the llgures may be easily read from sun set to sunrise. This clock, which will be made of the finest material, Is guaran teed to run without a variation of more than 30 seconds a month. The construction of this tower, which Is now under way, Is under the general supervision of Fred C. Brown, who has had charge of the carpenter work at the memorial casino and gymnasium. The exterior will be built of best quality cypress, and the structure will be braced so as to with stand the great wind pressure which will come against It. The present cupola or the gymnasium building will be removed to make room for the tower. All the ventilation of the building centres In this cupola, but the tower will be so constructed as not to Interfere with, the ventilating system. The generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Draper will provide a val uable and beautiful addition to the equipment of this Important Instltu Hon, an addition which will be appre elated by the public generally. DEDICATORY PROGRAM COMPLETE. Exercises In Brattleboro Free Library Next Monday Evening Several Gifts Will Be Accepted. Public exercises In dedication of the new addition to tho Brattleboro free li brary and In acceptance of gifts to the Institution will take place In the library next Monday evening at 7.30 o clock, nnd during the afternoon and evening the building will be open to public inspec tlon. The dedicatory prayer will be of fered by Rev. Dr. John R. Gow, follow Ing which Judge J. M. Tyler will accept for the institution the gift of books nnd works of art from Mrs. C. A. Loud of Boston, whom It Is expected will be pre sent. Wllllnm R. Mead of New York, a member of the widely-known nrchltec tural firm of McKlm, Mend & White will present a bust of his brother, the late Larkln G. Mead, the sculptor, and a response to this gift will be made by O. L. French. Col.
