SPORTING.
BRATTLEBoRo WON.
The v. M. Q. A. Foot Ball Team Down
ed Springfield 10 too.

The Brattleboro Y. M. @. A. foot bali team
played their fourth game OF the season Friday At
ternoon, their opponents being the SprinR1eld(Vt)
High school team, whom they defeated 10 to 0.
This game was the cleanest ever played on the
grounds. Not one kick was heard, although this
may seem strange for foot ball game. The con-
test was started with a rather small paying audi
ence but with a large number Of apprecative
lookers-on outside the fence. Springfield had the
kickoff and the leather flew to Brattleboro's 10
yard line and was downed Brattleboro immedi.
ately begun to circle the ends but with small gains
except bv Henkel, who made pretty 25 ard run
AT the 25 yard line Springfield awoke to the inva-
sonof her territory and made stubborn fight for
ground Brattleboro stopped tatics on the ends
and plunged the tackles and centre, Cooley, the
new full back, making the necessary gain when
ever called upon. Finally on the three yard line
TEDDY" Henkel went through the tackle and
scored the fret touchdown after eight minutes Of
play, Crowell kicking the goal Score o too.
The second touchdown was made after 10 min
utes'play by Henke the same tactics being used as
before. Stoddard made a 20 yard run but was
clevery brought to earth by Spafford, who play ed
On the third kick off Parkess secured the ball
from the 10 yard line and made one of the prettiest
runs OF the day, bringing the oval back to the
centre. Short runs brought the ball to Spring
fields 25 yard line when time was called.
The second half opened with the kickoff by
Brattleboro Springfield showing her wind and
training by doing some hard plunging at Brattle
boros centre and tackles to the tune OF 30 Yards
Brattieboro got the ball on the 30 yard line and
began working II back, but Springfield was fresh
and played good foot ball, and time was called
with the ball on Springfeld's 30 yard line.
Brattleboro outweighed Springfield, but Spring
fields centre was excellent on the offensive play,
while the work of Brattleboro's line was weak on
the defensive but good in forwarding the ball
Henkell did some fine interfering and running
Cooley's bucking, and Parkess's tackling were
also good. Springfield has a fine end in f. s..
Locke, who was the life of the team. Stickney
also proved himself capable back.
Brattleboro has the material for fast team
having weight and muscle which, coupled with ex.
npripnNp N the m and a lit tie
by the back and eadiness in the line will put the
team at the front tb fall.

NORTHFIELD. MASS.
A Library Building.

f. NJ. Dickinson OF Fitchburg, one Of North
fields fortunate sons has announced his inten-
ton of presenting public library building to the
town. plans OF which have been drawn bv Archi-
tect Francis Of Fitchburg, aud which are nearly
ready to be submitted to contractors for bids.
The plan calls for two story building about COX
40 feet with a basement. The foundation will be
of granite and the balance Of the same material
or pressed brick with suitable trimmings. The ar.
chtecture of the whole is Of very pleasing de-
sign. The building will be located on the east
side OF Main street on what is known as the Oar
ling lot and its site is but few feet distant from
the sp t where stood the old Dickinson fort built
over $50 years ago as protection from the In
dians, and named after the great grandfather of
the donor Of this building which will be known
as the e. NJ. Dickinson library. This ia not Mr..
Dckinson's first act of generosity to the town. he
having given a hall in West Mortified several
years ago. There is nothing the town needs more
than library building as II has long outgrown
the quarters assigned to IL in the town hall. and
this public spirited act Of Mr. Dickinson's will be
fully appreciated by the people.

the returns were technically irregular.
In every case they had waived unim-

RED HAT FOR KEANE.

The DespOsed Rector 10 Now ON Hts
way to Rome.
Chicago, Nov. 28-The Times-Herald
publishes the following letter from
Walter Wellman, it's Washington cor
respondent:
Bishop John ]. Keane, ex-rector of
the Roman Catholic university, is in a
fair way to triumph over the enemy
who caused his deposition and humili-
alton. He is almost certain to have a
cardinals hat placed upon his brow by
the pope, and he may soon return from
Rome virtually the head IF the Catho-
lie church of America. Bishop Keane
will sail for Rome Dec. 8. He will
arrive in Baltimore on Saturday and
remain the guest of Cardinal Gibbons
until the Monday following. At tbs
earnest request of his Washington
friends the bishop, contrary to his orig
tnal Intentions, has consented to pay q
brief visit to his old home at the uni
versity. At the institution there is an
unmistakeable feeling of exultation
over the present aspect of the ex-rec-
tors future. Rev. Philip j. Garrigan,
the acting rector pending the arrival
Of the new appOintee, DIR. Thomas j.
Conaty, said:
There is not the slightest doubt that
Bishop Keane has been summoned to
Rome to receive the highest honors
that the holy father can confer upon
him. He has been requested to make
his.visit in terms Of such kindness and
cordiality that, though he intended to
spend at least this winter in absolute
Huiet and retirement, he will comply
with the courteous request Of the Vat
Jean. 1t is likely he will remain in
Rome at least year, in any event.
Should he then return to the United
States It will be to fill IN exalted posi-
ton ON the hierarchy. If the holy
father destines him to remain perma-
nently in Rome it is not too much to
predict that he intends to reward the
bishops eminent services to the Ro-
man Catholic church in America by
comforting on him cardinals hat"
