Another Defeat.

The High school team went to Montpel-
Ter last week Wednesday and played the
| Vermont Methodist seminary nine, which
had not received defeat this season, and
was beaten by score OF 10 to 10 in eight
| innings.
The day was cold and windy and No.
conducive to good ball playing.
1t was quite an Interesting game
throughout. Our boys out batted the
home team, but were in turn outfielded.
The features Of the game wereithe excel
lent pitching Of Williams, who was only
batted for eight hits and struck out seven
men, the fine backstop work Of Mcintosh
and Lance, the second base playing Of
exander and Emery, the first play OF the
kind in the state this season. 1t was fast
work andwas made on a,fine running catch
in short center field, doubling up men at
second and first.
Smith, Newton and Williams carried off
the batting honors. Smith had clean
record, making single at each of the four
times at bat, or half of the hits for the
seminary boys.
Newton secured three singles, Williams,
two three. base hits and Emery one.
There has been some unjust criticism in
this village over the playing of the High
school team. The fact is they have been
playing ball with teams that are their sem
iors by several years, and much larger and
more experienced. Manager Woodward has
tried to arrange games with High school
teams but for some reason or other the
mines have refused to play. Our boys, it
is safe to say, would win majority of the
games from such teams. They played ex-
cellently TO hold the seminary nine to so
small q score,

DEAFNESS Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portions Of the ear. There is
only one way-to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it Is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-.
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
