ERRORS
THAN RUNS
Painful Exhibition of Base Ball
Saturday Afternoon.

Saturdays base ball game with the
Ostranders of Albany was a thrilling
exhibition of errors by the home team.
The scorekeeper listed - but the
crowd is convinced that several got by
him without being seen, Higgins,
Burns and Meader are the only play
ers who did not make an error and
Love, Adams and Mcclure are credit
ed with three apiece.
The comedy started with the game
and in the first inning errors by Love
let in seven runs for the visitors and
they had a lead that could not be over
come. Love was then replaced by
Adams who did little better.
The only redeeming features OF the
game were Burns home run drive
straight away over the center field
fence and Higgins catch which was a
duplicate of the startling one he made
the previous week.
Burke of Troy pitched for the home
team and did better than the team aver
age but his delivery was slow and un-
interesting and the crowd did not en-.
thuse much over him,
a decision by Umpire Battles arous-
ed some feeling. The decision was
probably wrong but as Mr. Battles is
the best umpire in this section, makes
fewer mistakes and is always square
there was no warrant for the exhibit
tion of disapproval given by some of
the spectators. The score:

COY BABCOCKSNON.
Defeated The Stars From North Bennington in
Seven Inning Game Sunday.

The game of base ball between the
Coy Babcocks and Axle Halls "stars"
of North Bennington was decided Sun
day forenoon on the flats, the former
winning by score of Ia to
Although it was one sided through
out the game, it was nevertheless excit-
ing and interesting from start to finish.
A number of the Olympics played with
the Stars with Charley Evans in the
box and Harris behind the bat. Pad.
dy Mcclure of the local team and
Denney Casey occupied those positions
for Connors' pets.
Mcclure had the visitors completely
at his mercy throughout the game,
striking out 13 men, and at times with
the bases full, retiring the side in one,
two, three order.
Evans did we'll for North Benning-
ton, having ten strike.o outs to his cred
it, but his support was wretched, each
player being credited with several err
rors which proved disastrous.
The visitors did not score until the
9Th inning, and would not then but for
wild throw by Mcclure which allow
ed one man to cross the plate. 1t
looked like case of white wash up to
this stage of the game.
In the 7th inning, after the Stars had
been retired without seeing second
base, with Coy -Bsbcocks at bat, after
the first ball was pitched to them, was
the beginning of the ending. Base
hit after base-hit was lined out and
the Stars were kept busy chasing the
horse-hide until they were ready to
give up in despair, which they did be-
fore anyone was out, throwing up the
sponge at this time.
Michael Mcclure umpired the game
satisfactorily.
Tim Connors, manager of the Coy
Babcocks, has reason to feel proud of
his team, and no doubt believes they
can trim any team in town, no excep-
ions. The same teams will meet
again in the near future.

Hit by a Passenger Train
Near Sunde .and.
EARLY THIS MORNING
Child Paid No Attention to Whis-

Stop Train.

A three year old son of Mrs George
Reed was instantly killed this morn
ing, by the south bound early train
from Rutland, about mile north of
the Sunderland station.
When discovered by engineer Mur-
ray the little fellow was in the center
of the track. The whistle was blown
to alarm him, but he must have been
frightened by it, and although
engineer Murray tried his best, he
could not stop and the locomotive hit
the lad, badly mangling the body.
His father is living but has been
separated from his wife for some time

Mr. MERRILL'S CANDIDACY.
A Defenes of Ills Action in Running for the
Office Of States Attorney

Editor the Banner. That Mr. Mer-
rill has 'stultified" himself in accept
ing an independent nomination for the
Office of states attorney of Bennington
county is an open question.
That he will for all time be discred-
tied by the Republican voters of Ben
nington county, as we'll, cannot be-
lieve, at present be truthfully said.
Undoubtedly, Mr. Merrill will for
the step he has taken be long discred-
tied by the small coterieof politicians,
who have for years through the indul-
gence of the voters of our town and
county, held offices of honor and prof
it. There has been for a long time n
growing sentiment that states attor-
ney should be elected who will be free
to act independently, honorably and
fearlessly in the discharge OF the dut-
les incident to his important Office.
The office is peculiarly one that
should be free from any ring DONNA
tion of any kind. Great stress has
been laid upon the fact that Mr. Mer-
rill seconded Mr. Benefits motion to
make unanimous Mr. Daley's selection
as the caucus candidate from Benning-
ton for the nomination of states attor-
ney.
Mr. Merrill acted upon the spur of
the moment and did graceful thing.
Had he been slick and crafty politic-
ian perhaps he would have done differ
emily.
In working for betterment in civic
affairs there must be fusion at times.
Without it needed reforms cannot be
accom- plished.
The first to ridicule the coming in to
the field of an independent candidate,
are generally speaking, those who
have long fattened at the public crib.
They deprecate changes and urge the
party to stand by the caucus candid
ate,
They are the ones that now think
that Mr. Merrill's canvas will be weak
and insipid and that he is making a
TOOL as we'll as a spectacle of himself.
and that only beggarly vote will bs
his portion. Sometimes it is the un-
which happens.

ATTACKERS LOST 10000

LONDON, Aug. S.--A special from
st. Petersburg says that Lieutenant
General Stoessel, commanding the Rus.
sian military forces at Port Arthur, in
an undated dispatch to the emperor
reports as follows
Il am happy to state that the Rus
| sian troops repulsed all the japanese
attacks of July &c, q and Is, with
enormous losses
"1he garrison's enthusiasm was ex-
traordinary.
'"The fleet assisted in the defense by
bombarding the japanese flank
"Our losses during the three days
We're about 1900 men and forty officers
killed or wounded.
According to statements of Chinese
and prisoners. the japanese lost as
many as 10000
Their losses were so great that the
enemy has not had time to remove the
dead and wounded"
a Liaoyang dispatch says that the
japanese are advancing on Mukdcn,
and it is probable that simultaneous
attack viii be made on Mukden and
Liaoyang, in which case decisive
battle is assured. Liaoyang is in no i'm
mediate danger, though the Russians
have been compelled to fall back owing
to the superior numbers of the Japa-
nese.
A Russian cavalry division has been
in constant contact with the enemy
south of Anshanshan.
The Japanese did not capture any
rolling stock at Haicheng.
1t is rumored here that the japanese
are changing their base to New
chwang
The Russians have set fire TO the vii
lRge of Henchuantsa, thirteen miles
northeast Of Newchwang, from which
a small force of japanese fed, leaving
their transport animals.
Advices from Tokyo say that Gen
eral Kuroki reports he buried the bod
les of 512 Russians on the battlefelds
of Yushulikzu and Yangtzuling. In
these actions he reports the capture of
PCS Russians, eight of whom were Of
ficers. One hundred and fifteen of the
prisoners were wounded.
The japanese intend to follow up the
Russians and to gain ground east and
south by an attack on Anshanshan.
midway between Haicheng and Lao
yang.
A Tokyo dispatch says that General
Kuropatkin's success in extricating his
army from the Liautong peninsula
without disaster has elected much
praise from, the japanese. The con-
centrating of his army at Kaiochau at
one time seemed certain to involve 1t in
disaster. He was forced to abandon or
destroy valuable stores and munitions
of war when the transportation was al
most the most serious problem TO the |
Russians. He also impaired the mo- |
rale of his army, but he preserved his |
men and guns.
The unexpected loss of the Russian |
left at Tashichao and the appearance |
Of the Japanese Takushan army on the |
flank forced the abandonment and sur |
render, without a fight, of Yinkow, |
and Newchwang. 1t is gen.
orally believed that the crisis will come
shortly'at Liaoyang and that Kure-
patkin will be forced to give battle
whatever his purpose may be.
General Oku's and the Takushan
armies are pressing northward, and
General Kurold is close at hand, ready
to take any part necessary in the gen.

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard. -
Spring was gladly welcomed after a
winter of unusual severity. Early
flowers and fruit blossoms were abun-
dant; their fragrance seemed to blend
with the music of birdsong until the
air was full of sweetness. Communion
with nature directs thought reverently
to Him who hath made everything
beautiful in His time, and reveals faint
prophecies of the joys which cannot
become fully known until the mortal
has put on Immortality.

so often repeated in the past, "Be still
