BASE BALL COLUMN.
Three Defeats and Great Victory.


The St. Johnsburys played four games
of ball last week and though they only
won one of their games the three that
they lost were by remarkably close scores
and each game was full of good plays.
On Wednesday afternoon they played
the Berlns at Berlin. The latter started
off with seven runs in the first inning and
when the sixth inning opened our boys
had secured but one run. Then they
found the ball and made four runs, add
ing three more in both the eighth and
ninth innings. In this game each OF our
boys made hit except Moore and Howe
and Hitchcock each got two base hit.
Hazleton pitched this game and the Ber-
Inns secured Is hits. In the first OF the
ninth st. Johnsbury tied the score, Par
ker giving three passes to first, which
with the assistance of a safe drive melted
them three runs. A wild throw to first,
with one on second and one out, gave
Berlin the necessary Jun and the game
was over. The summary OF the score
follows:
s E49 5a'ha:D'ys, ; 3 3 ! 3 3 : 3 5-4s
Berlins, o 1 liz
The second game was played at Berlin
the next day when the score was almost
duplicated. The score ran more even by
innings and there were less errors on
both sides. The St. Johnsburys had 10
hits to their opponents nine and Abbott
secured two two.base hits and Straub
one. Only in the eighth inning did our
team fail to make a run. Foster pitched
this game for the St. Johnsburys and
Hazleton played first, The summary of
the score follows:
St. johnsb'ys,1 / , | 2 ! ! Q I'll
Berlin, 0 1 -13
The third defeat was at the hands of
the Gorhams on Friday. This was the
best played game of the three and our
nine had the game well in hand until the
seventh inning, when the Gorhams com
menced to score and then got their Win
ming run in the last inning. Here is the
summary of the score:

Probably the most exciting game ever
seen on the campus, was played last Sat
urday, between Hardwick and st.
Johnsbury, it taking - innings to de-
eide the contest, the home team finally
winning to G..
Hardwick scored two runs in the first,
inning on a combination of hits. St.
Johnsbury tied the score in the fourth
In the fifth, Hardwick crossed the plate
three times, making the score 5 to 2.
Hardwick scored again in the seventh,
J and the game looked lost, when the
home team arose to the occasion in the
fourth and pounded out four runs tieing
the score. Neither side was able to
score in the 9th 10th, or 18th innings,
although both had men on bases. In
the 18th Howe got hit, stole second
and came home on Straub's single, Win
ming the game as Hardwick was unable
to score in the last half.
Both Foster and Gokey pitched good
ball, the former striking out 1 l and the
latter 10, but Foster seemed a little
steadier during the last four innings.

HAvEMEYER SHOULD KNOW
Says His Sugar Refiueries Have Lost
No Money and Win Not.

New York, Feb. 7.-President Have
meyer of the American Sugar Refining
company, was questioned regarding re-
ports that the leading refineries of the
company had been closed down as a, re
suit of the loss of business particularly
because of the loss of large confection-
cry and condensed milk contracts.
The reports are totally untrue" said
Mr.. Havemeyer. I'VE have lost no bus
mess and we do not intend to lose any.
The only ref1neries that have been
closed down are the Spreckel's refinery
in Philadelphia, and the Jersey City re-
finery. These have closed down to take
account of stock and to clean up. This
is usual at the end Of the year, but the
demand during the holidays and cintin-
uing through January was so unusual
that the closing was deferred
until now. The refineries will resume on
Saturday. The Boston refinery may al
so close for a day or two, but the Will
liamsburg refneries will not be closed. .
The effect on the stock market of the
reports referred to was a decline of
about points on sugar trust stock

TROUBLE BEGINS.
AtchIson Colored Club Decides to Sup.
port Bailey.

Atchison, Feb. There is a good
deal of talk about the colored peoples
meeting at True Eleven hall Monday
night. The Curtis men claim ii was a
Bailey trick, pure and simple. but Dr.
Hudson. who is one of the leaders, says
this is not true. He says the meeting
was called as a measure of harmony.
The colored people are divided on the
Bailey and Curtis question, he says,
and showed signs of becoming conten-
uous, and it was considered best tot
hold a meeting, and decide between the
candidates. He says that, in order to
avoid any possibility of either Bailey.
or Curtis, influence, it was decided TO
keep all white men out of the hall. He
says both Curtis and Bailey supporters
were invited to talk, and that the meet
ing was not in the interest of either
candidate. The majority voted to sup
port Bailey, and he says that Bailey
is the man upon whom the colored for
ces should unite
When his attention was called to the
fact that he had been elected secretary
of the Third Ward Curtis club, he said
this was true, but that he had handed
in his resignation. He said that as this
was a free country he did not see any
reason why a man should not have the
right to change his opinions. It was
to get away from the influence of both
candidates that the meeting was called,
he said. The cOlored men employed at
SeatOn's foundry are very loyal to their
employer. and are much worked up over
the meeting.

YOUNG DEGENERATES.
Notorious Cooper Boys Are Again in
Trouble

The notorious Cooper boys. Fred and
Tom, are again in Jail on the same old
charge of petty stealing, but this time
their exploit was very dramatic.
Tuesday afternoon a butchers boy
caught them stealing meat from his
wagon. He bore down upon them and
they dropped the meat and fed. The
butcher boy pursued them. He was
gaining on them when Fred Cooper
turned and pointed a revolver at him.
The butcher boy came to a sudden halt.
Then Tom Cooper drew a long knife
and Doked it dangerously near the
butcher boys ribs while Fred Cooper
loaded the revolver, which up to that
time had been empty. With the re-
volver and knife against him the
butcher boy withdrew and the Cooper
boys escaped. Last night they were
arrested by officers AcElroy and Lucas
and locked up.
