Notes,

Sexton has signed with Northampton. to
play regularly for the remainder Of the sea-
son.
Claremont was taken into camp at Leb-
anon last Saturday to the tune of : to Is.
The game was won on its merits, Burns ;
delivery being touched up for 10 hits. This
is the first time in several years that Clare
mont has been defeated by New Hamp-
shire club.
The Claremont Advocate says that its
nine is the only resident team of account
in this part of New England, and that it
was compulsory for Brattleboro, Lebanon,
Newport and other places to put strong
salaried combinations in the field. The
Brattleboro team of 1888, composed of all
home players, defeated Claremont 0 to 4,
and was beaten to ,.
DOwd now ranks 10th among the bats
men of the American association, with an
average of .295, being tied for that posi-
ton with king Kelley. Dowd has par
ticipated in 53 games.
The boys play at Northampton today
The excitement in that city is at white heat,
and the Herald says that 2000 people will
probably witness the game.
The contests at home next week will be
among the most interesting of the season.
The L. V. Ms will be here on Tuesday
and Wednesday and Northampton on Sat
urday The boys will go to Northampton
on Thursday.
The Northampton Herald speaks of Hen
RVS home run in Saturdays game as a
beauty. Nearly everybody called the hit
foul. If it was fair in any ordinary case it
would have been but single base hit. 1t
took the luckiest kind of a bound through
the right field fence.
"Luck is a great element in base ball, -
said a Greenfield man who was a spectator
at Saturdays game. II do not consider, y
he continued, that anything but luck was
responsible for the defeat of BrattlebOro in
the to game And he was about right.
1t is understood that an offer was made
last week by HOlyoke men for the transfer
of the BrattlebOrO team to that city.
Smalley of Lebanon has been pitching
this summer for st. Johnsbury.
The Northampton Herald says that
Northampton was robbed of the game here
last Saturday, and describes the work of
both umpires as rank. A similar wall has
gone up from the Herald almost every time
that the Meadow City team has been
downed. Northampton people are hard
losers. Perhaps they bet too much.
Brattleboro boys have watched with in
terest 10 see the result of the games at
Burlington this week. On Tuesday North
ampton won, to 3. WoOdcock and
O'Connor were the pitchers and both were
very effective. Smith brought in the win
ming run with long hit Wednesday the
tables were turned with vengeance, the
score being IL TO in favor of U, V. NJ,
| Abbey was unbelievable. He struck out
| II men. Burns of ClaremOnt pitched fol-
Northampton and was hit freely, North
ampton is credited with II errors, four be-

Northamptons 2. BrattIeboros o.

Brattleboro enthusiasts were made decid-
Nv weary Monday. The home team had
the game well in hand, but seemed to lose
through Over-cOnfidence. The NOrthamp-
ton players, however, worked like Trojans
when the odds were against them, and
turned defeat into victory. Before the
game Col. Hooker addressed the audience,
stating that improper language on the
grounds would not be tolerated, that an Of
hcer would see that order was enforced, and
that respect must be shown the umpire by
the players under penalty of fine. The
result was a very quiet and orderly game.
Collopy, the favorite of two years ago,
made his first appearance, and was ap-
plauded every time he came to the bat. In
the third inning he made two Dagger,
bringing in Cain and Sullivan. lie at
tempted to steal third and scored on Maha-
nevis wild throw. The winning run in the
ninth was on two baggers in succession by
Carr and Smith. The batting and fielding
of Cain was a feature. Tenney played his
usual strong game and at the first time at
bat put the ball over the right field fence
Brady's umpiring gave general satisfaction

Manager O'Neil has signed new pitch
er, Stafford, of Holy Cross and late of
WOonsocket. 1t will be remembered
that Stafford was expected to come here
early in the season, but was offered S225 a
month at WoOnsocket. He is one of the
best pitchers in the New England league,
and was at one time with Worcester in the
Eastern league. He will arrive Monday
Hare will 90 to his home in Michigan. He
did not care to pitch here, hut to oblige the
management consented to until another
pitcher could be secured. His work has
been first class particularly in his game
against the L. V. MS, and in every way
he has shown himself a gentlemanly ball
player He will not return to Amherst in
the fall having finished his postgraduate
course. Negotiations are in progress with
Merritt, Stafford's catcher, and it is hoped
that he will be signed within few days.
He is heavy hitter, a splendid back stop,
and the best thrower in New England.
Stafford held Portland down to five hits
Wednesday.
The greatest game on record was recently
played i'm Dakota. The Grand Forks and
Fargo teams struggled % innings, lasting
nearly four hours. Neither side scored.
Twenty-Five men were left on bases, and
there were IL double plays. Watson, Grand
Forks's second baseman, accepted 10
chances and made no errors. Mcdonald,
Fargo's third baseman, made no errors in
II chances. The game was called to enable
the players to catch the train.

DEATH OFG. ALLEN

A useful citizen and strong, upright man
passed away on Wednes lay afternoon in the
death of George G.. Allen, after a pain
full Illness of many months. Mr.. Allen
was native of Nottingham, born in 1920.
His father was one of five brothers, who
were early settlers in 'Deerfield, Mass.
Two of the brothers went to northern Yer
mont. while Mr.. Aliens father settled in
Nottingham about the year 1888, and raised
there a family, of IL children, of whom
George G.. was one of the elder. As a boy
and youth he worked on his fathers farm
until he was 20 years old, going then to
Westminster, where he learned the trade of
wheelwrght, and followed that business
for several years. He first came to Brattle-
boro in 1853, working for the organ COM
pany in the old Valley Mill building, and
was aftcrward employed by the Asa Miller
carriage company. In 1856 he established
a milk route on the Hinsdale farm now
owned by J. II. Pratt, which he carried on
for four years. April LIST, 1860 he return
ed to BrattlebOro, moving on to the Canal
street farm where he has since lived and
on which he died. During the war he had
the contract for the milk supply at the bar
racks and hospital on the old camp ground
He afterwards established a children's car
in the building now occupied by G. b. Kir-
wan, following this occupation for several
years. He was a man in whose integrity,
ability and good judgment his fellow citi-
zens had great confidence, and between the
years 1870 and 1885 he held at various
times offices of selectman, road commits
sioner and village bailiff. For the past five
years, until entirely disabled by sickness,
he has given his time to his farm. In the
winter of 1890, while assisting in binding a
load of hay, the pole gave way and he was
thrown TO the ground in such a way that
he barely escaped dislocatiOn of the neck,
and sustained internal injuries from which
he never recovered. and which finally
caused his death.
In 1913 Mr.. Allen married Elmira Car
penter of Westminster, who survives him.
Four children were born to them, two of
whom are now living-AIrs. Z. f. Crown
of Jacksonville, and c. f. Allen, who has
built up on the home farm a successful
business as florist and gardener which
has few equals in extent in New England.
Two brothers and sister of the Allen
family. 5. Allen of Jacksonville, who
lives at the old homestead, j. NJ. Allen,
who is now in Minneapolis, and Mrs. Han
nah Thayer of Hampden, Mass, now re-
main.
In his qualities of sturdy uprightness
native intelligence and sound common
sense Mr.. Allen was typical New Eng
lander. The thorough and permanent
work done by him upon some of our high,
ways is still pointed out, as it will be in
years to come, as an example of true econ
omy for the town, and the work thus don,
by him was illustrative of the real quality
of the man. He had a kindly heart and
those who knew him best held him in the
highest esteem.
His funeral takes place from the hous,
this afternoon at half-past two.
