BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
SPORTING.
BrattleborO Boys

Play In Tie tame Against University
of virginia, and In n so Contest
Against Carlisle Indians.
The foot ball team of the Baltimore
Medical college proves to be by far the
strongest aggregation which has ever rep
resented that institution, and the three
Brattleboro players, Henkel and the Stote
Brothers, are doing excellent work. The
Baltimore team played the University of
Virginia to stand still at Charlottesville,
Va, last Saturday. Neither side scored,
but the Baltimore NEEDLES had the ball close
to Virguia's line in the first half, after
Henkel had skirted the end for % yards.
On the next play Baltimore guard was
caught holding i'm the line and the ball was
given to Virginia to be kicked back into
the field The Baltimore American of last
Sunday says: "Henkel and South did most
of the ground gaining for the Medical col
lege, the formers run of 80 yards around
Virginia's right end being one of the fea-
lures of the contest" Henkel, who has
always been half back, is now playing at
full back.
Dan Stolte has written to Bratteborc
friends that the Baltimore Medical school
played recently against the Carlisle In
dams, and that the only score was goa
kicked from field by Hudson, the wonder
full Indian half back.
1t is evident that the Brattleboro boys
are in very fast company. The Carlisle
Indians defeated University of Pennsyl
vania Saturday, 10 to ., the game being the
first big surprise of the season. The Uni
versity of Virginia scored against Pennsyl
| vania in a game two weeks ago The Bal
! timore Medical college team has a gam,
scheduled with the University of Pennsyl
vania second eleven.

of the statements issued by the Hungarian

Some Surprising Results Of Practical
Significance Reported from the Ver-

Some Surprising Results Of Practical
Significance Reported from the Ver-
mont Experiment station.
The Vermont experiment station has
made observations for some years upon
the time and rate of development Of the pO-
tato tuber. 1t is just bringing the investiga-
tions Of the present season TO close and
although the full results are not yet obtain
able their general teaching is plain enough.
The plan in this work has been to plant
about the middle of May vigorous late po-
tatoes White Star and Delaware being the
varieties chosen. These are sprayed care
fully to protect them fully against insects
and blight. Digging is begun August first
and continued upon adjacent plots at in
tervals of ten days through the remainder
of the season. In this way the rate of
tuber development for each 10 day period
during August and September is determin-
ed
The results are surprising and of much
practical significance. The results thus
far secured this year averaged with those
of two previous years are given below.
These figures show the approximate dates
ofdigging and yields to the acre Of market
able potatoes for the three seasons:
August GO bushels
Au ust i2 io3 bushels
August % 14S bushels
September2 222 OuShels
September - gao bush' Is
September ,! 2s3 bushels
October 30l bushels
OF course the details of such develop
ment vary greatly with soil and climatic
conditions, but the main features have
been similar in all cases. The most rapid
| development has occurred during the last
two weeks of August, when the surprising
average growth of seven bushels day is
| shown. The most important fact, how
ever, is the continued growth during Sep
! TENDER One-half OF the total crop has
! been produced in all of these experimental
/ fields after August "a, and nearly one
third of it on the average during Septem-
Der. 1t must be borne in mind that all
these plants were sprayed with Bordeaux
Paris green-mixture aud thus kept in Wig
orous growth. Adjoining plots not sprayed
began dying in August and in some cases
were entirely dead in September, whereas
the sprayed plants remained paratively
vigorous until cut down by the frost.
The great Importance Of protecting the
plants so as TO secure their full develop
ment is evident. L. has amounted for sew
eral years past to an average gain OF over
one hundred bushels an acre in the total
yield Of marketable potatoes.

Barrett Near the Top OF the Lis, as a
Batsman.

The Boston Journals unofficial batting
averages of the players who took part in Is
or more championship games in the Ma
tional league the past season shows Hick
man of the Boston team in the lead, with a
percentage of .4l9 for Is games. His per-
Torrance is not so wonderful as that of
Delahanty of Philadelphia and Burkett of
st. Louis, who played in 143 and al
games respectively, and had averages of
.40S and .404. The other men and their
averages who are in the list of first ten
are as follows: McGraw, Baltimore, 1886;
Keller, Brooklyn, .3S4; Lajoie, Philadel-
phia, and Chance, Chicago, .377 each /;
Barrett, Cincinnati, $40; Fultz, Baltimore
and Philadelphia, 800; Stahl, Boston,
3jS. Barrett, the Brattleboro boy, who
ranks eighth in the list, has made a Won
derful record for a beginner in the big
league. He is great waiter, and in con-
sidering the base hits and bases on balls
has probably reached first base oftenel
than any man in the league. The Journal
says Barrett, the Brattleboro lad, with
Buck Ewing's team, has batted al a whirl-
wind pace and is undoubtedly a great ac-
/ QUESTION" In the last championship
game Barrett took first base on called balls

James Garry also welded the stick effect

One of the surprises at the annual fall

| 100 in 10 2-5ths seconds and winning first
in the final of the 220 in 23 2 5ths seconds.
He was also one of the runners in the vic.

gold medals. McCaughern is remembered
here for his sprinting in the Brattleboro-

The law protects deer in Cheshire county,
n. H., for period of ten years, while in
other counties of the state sportsmen have
had a shot at them the present season.
This law was passed nine years ago by the
state legislature. AS long ago as 1889 the
late Ansel Dickinson of Ashuelot, promi-
nent lumber dealer, who owned about
three-fourths of the broad domain of
wooded country known as Mt. Pisgah,
conceived the idea of stocking this forest
with deer, reasoning that this large terri
tory, which included about 10000 acres,
with its thick groves of spruce and pine,
its ponds and marshy places, would be just
the place for them to thrive and multiply.
At his instance Granville Ward well of
Winchester, a then prominent member of
the legislature, introduced bill into that
body asking for a law to protect deer in
Cheshire county for period of ten years.
This bill passed the house and became a
law. Capt. Dickinson discovered, how
ever, that it was an exceedingly difficult
matter to obtain the deer with which to
stock the reservation, and he learned, too,
that the deer is a migratory animal, here
today and miles away tomorrow, and that
it would be useless to make the attempt
unless Mt. Pisgah was "fenced in" which
would involve a great outlay, and so the
project was abandoned. At the present
time many deer are seen in and about Mt.
Pisgah. and as the ten years. limit of the
law will expire next year, the huntsmen
are promising themselves rare sport in
1000
