BRIDGEWATER 4, WOODSTOCK 3.
Again Woodstock got the worst of
the argument with Bridgewater on
Vail field, losing well-played game
to the visitors by score of q to 8.
A few costly errors by the locals
decided the question, bit take it all
around honors were about even
throughout the local outfielders
scooping everything that went into
the air. The home team filled up
the bases once or twice, but Lacoe
was effective at critical times and
stopped the sprinters short of the
home-plate.
Desc tumbled several balls at
short, but did some fancy b"se-rnn-
ming and made two of the three
scores for his side.
Woodstock is PLAYING in hard
luck, but giving the town good
games. The locals are likely to get
the hang of the bat soon, and the
games thus tar have been lost only
by very narrow margin.

IN PROBATE COURT.


In Probate court, Saturday, July
IS, before Judge II. O. Seaver, ].
E Montague, administrator, settled
his account with the estate Of the
late Zebedee Churchill.
1t appeared that in 1895 Mrs.
Emeline Churchill agreed with her
husband, Zebedee, in consideration
of 5000 paid to her, to claim no fur
the: interest in his estate. On June
10, 1903, after Zebedee's death, the
widow filed in Probate court waiver
of the provisions made by her in the
said agreement OF 1898, and claimed
that there should be assigned to her
by the court one-third of the personal
estate of the deceased, pursuant to
the statute.
AT the settlement of the estate
Saturday the widow returned to the
administrator the $500 before paid
to her. To the receipt of this sum,
! however, the heirs of MIR. Churchill
objected, but after hearing was
held the court assigned to the widow
the sum OF $935.o4.
The heirs are Mrs. Olive 0. Saw
ye, Of Felchville, Mark Churchill
and Mrs. Frank w. Bradley of
Woodstock, Mrs. Addie Crowell of
Barnard, Mrs. Lucy Fletcher OF
Woodstock, and two grandchildren,
Mrs. Eta Lawrence and Miss Ella
Hoisington.
w. b. c. Stickney of Bethel ap.
peaIed for Mrs. Churchill and Gil.
bert A. Davis of Windsor repre-.
sented the heirs.
Mr.. Davis stated at the close Of
the hearing that he should bring a
bill in chancery to enforce the terms
of the agreement.

TURF NOTES

The Metropolitan handicap, which is the open
ing day feature of the spring meeting at Morris
Park, will be worth nearly $4,000 this year
The added money has been increased from 81, 500
to $4,000, which places the Metropolitan on an
equal basis with the Brooklyn Suburban and
Brighton handicaps.~
D., The Westchester event differs from the others,
however in that the distance is only a mile
instead of mile and a quarter but as the
Metropolitan is run much earlier in the season
it is much more suitable for the horses that
go to the post In all probability when the
entries close Feb. 10 it will be found that the
Metropolitan has attracted nearly all the crack
thoroughbreds that have been named for the
other big handicaps, that great race may be
looked for.

Wise Ban John son.

Baseball men generally agree that Ban
Johnson did well to oppose amalgama-
tfon OF the two leagues at the peace con-
Terence. In Cincinnati. While Cincinnati
and Pittsburg are corking good ball towns,
San has a good deal better thing as presi-
dent OF the american than as president of
a combination organization. Had Ban
johnson. turned from his set purpose of
two leagues it would be like a bird upset.
ting her nest when half filled with hatch
Ing eggs. The offer Of the presidency Of
one big league with "a fat salary and
things practically ones own way would be
a fine proposition for a less ambitious man
than Ban Johnson, and, in these days Of
trusts, looked like the proper thing. But
Johnson, being a good baseball student,
knew we'll the obstacles to overcome, even
had he favored the scheme, which, by
the way, he never did for moment.
T.. Why should the American league be
expected to tie up to dead ones like they
have In Boston and Philadelphia said
Johnson. The public has supported our
league Loyalty, and why should we desert
our friends?" 80
The American League means everything
to Johnson, and It is his careful thought
and hustling energy which the: American
can thank for the. success 1T has attained.
The successful league in baseball comes
only with one-nnan power, but that man
must have the ability to lead and the de-
termination to fight on the aggressive.

that as speed vehicle the wagon is faster
than the sulky. With the exception Of
Lord Derby, most of the horses mentioned
have not had a. real good opportunity to
show, just how fast they could go to sulky.
The wagon records are nearly all taken
in events for amateur drivers, races in
which the fields are usually small, the
scoring not prolonged, and with more ia
vorable conditions generally for fast time
than are found in the professional races,
where the fields are large, the scoring IA

the probable winner a hard one to travel.
