origin of a Stylish Cravat.

at the battle of Steinkirk, which took
place on the morning Of Aug. 8, 1902
the French mobiles were surprised in Their
sleep, and hastily rushing out of their
tents, they arranged their lace cravats
in the most careless manner. Ebe French
were victorious, and to commemorate
their victory it became the fashion after
this to wear the neckcloth in a neglige
manner. Hence the origin of the Stein
kirk cravat, as it was afterward called.

Rrattleboro. l. Nor,hsmptons l

II was a splendid exhibition of scientific
ball playing which was witnessed on the
home grounds Wednesday. The game
resulted in tie at the end of the eighth
inning, when darkness put an end to the
contest. The Northampton team contained
only four men who have been PLAYING upon
it regularly, the others being a part of the
strong professional aggregation which Mr.
Whitney has collected at South Royalston,
including TONY Hart, late of Washing
ton, and Slater, late of Portland. 1t was
in reality the best of the South Royalston
team, strengthened since the games here
combined with the best of Northampton.
Every man was heavy hitter Cross
pitched mastery game, giving them only
two hits. Sexton, also, was i'm good
form, and did much toward mending the
hole which was knocked in his reputation
on Saturday. Luck favored NORTHAMPTON
throughout In the first inning Bratte-
boro had three men on bases and only one
out, but Murphy struck out and Hickey hit
an easy fly to Sexton. Carr scored for
Northampton in the fourth. He hit the
ball i'm front of the plate, but Cross threw
wild to first, allowing him to reach third
When Mullen hit to Murphy, Carr started
for the plate, but Murphy threw low and
Carr was safe. BrattlebOro earned a run
in the sixth on COllopy's two-bagger, Ia
beautiful line hit) Stuart's sacrifice, and
Stearns's single, a hit so hot that Slater
could not hold it. In the seventh Fitz-
maurice hit for two bases, and Cross and
Collopy were given first on called balls, but
Stuart hit to Smith and the three men were
left on bases. Sullivan made a phenome-
nal running catch, and other sharp plays
were Collopy's stop of Leahy's wild throw
Hickey's capture of swift liner, and run
ming catches by Stewart and WOodcock.
Murphy sustained injuries by collision
with Sexton.

A wall from Burlington.
LErom tho Bnrlington Free Plls..

From the burlington Free ~ s.
"The L. V. Ms are rather chagrined
over the recent down country trip. Per
haps it may be well right now to tell the
supporters of the team and others that the
last game played at Brattleboro rightfully
belonged to the Nernonts. The umpring
was wrctched and it is quite noticeable
that the BrattleborO papers did not mention
anything about this important fact. Man
ager O'Neill. however. told the boys after
the game that the umpire robbed them of
the game. This is probably the usual
method down there, but Denny had
rather win fairly. although he takes every
thing possible like any other good ball
player"
What is the use of lying? Why not take
defeat gracefully and act like men, instead
of crying baby? The umpiring here was
not bad. O'Neill never made the state
ment credited to him. The scores of o to
/, and to ?, with the base hit, stolen
base and error columns refute the Free Press
claim Nearly all of the games played off
their own grounds have been defeats This
means something The players who have
been to Burlington say it is because of the
umpiring there The fact is. the much
lauded L. V. NJ. team is not in the same
class with Brattleboro. The games here.
as well as those played by L. V. NJ. at
South Royalston and Claremont. show this.
Our advice to the Free Press writer is to
try again to see if he cannot tell a bigger
one.

MISS WILKINs's NEW PLAY.
New York Press editorial !

Miss Mary f. wilkins, whose home is in
Randolph, Mass, has become widely known
in the last few years by reason of the artis-
tic truthfulness with which she has por-
trayed New England character in her short
stories. Miss wilkins has written play
which is said to present as faithful a pic
ture of old New England life as her stories
do.
The title of Miss WillSins's play is "Giles
Corey, Woman" 1t is a tragedy with a
thread of romance running through it,
witchcraft in the old Salem days supplying
the principal theme. The subject would
seem to be better adapted to literature than
to dramatic treatment, but the play is
highly spoken of by those who have heard
it,

GOODBYE, NORTHAMPTON,
We Are Going 10 Leave You Now.
Brottieboros 10, Northnmptons ,.

"If the management expect to win the
series there must be no more playing of
favortes." was the way Northampton
item in the Springfield Republican read be-
fore the game here last Saturday. This,
we opine, was 'driyp' at Woodcock who
has lost three of the four games in which
he has pitched against Brattleboro. The
"favorite' did not pitch, the man in the
box being the tricky Sexton. alias Gleason,
this year member of the Brown uniyei-
sity, Woonsocket South Royalston, New
ton, Northampton and other teams. To
help him on to victory Tor defeat) the man
agement had secured three more men who
formerly played in Brattlcboro - Shine,
fresh from Portland, Hickey and Mahoncy.
This makes only eight eX-Brattleboro men
who have been with Northampton this sea
son. The catapultic pitcher, however, re-
ceived his worst drubbing of the season,
and the fatted calves of the BrattlebOrO
players were made weary by their continued
flight from base to base. Shines work was
of a saffron hue. He had two passed balls
and was very weak in throwing. Cross
had the NOrthamptOns at his mercy and
was backed up perfectly by the whole team.
The Northampton scores were due to two
hits, a passed ball and wild pitch. In the
ninth inning the punishment of Sexton
ended with two clean home runs Stearns
again knocking the ball over into the will
lows, and O'Neill putting it so far over the
right field fence that it could not be found
