MADE IT

Base Ball Team Scores An
other Victory.
TO TUNE OF 7 TO2
MCGUIRE Tried in the Box and
Showed Up Very Well,
Indeed.
TO TUNE OF 7 TOP

The Waterford a. G. met defeat at
the hands of the Bennington base ball
team Saturday afternoon by score OF
: to 2.
The game by no means presented
such fine exhibition of the national
sport as has been seen here Ia several
games this season although up to the
last half of the sixth inning it was
anyone's game.
In that inning Ayres the first man
up worked the pitcher for pass,
Adams reached first on an error, King
drew a walk and all three trotted in
on McGuire's hit to right field and the
poor fielding which followed, Keeler
made hit and Mcclure crossed the
plate.
The visitors were unable to recover
from this fatal succession of runs and
their score remained blank, blank,
blank for the last three innings.
The other three scores for the locals

ance of two base hit by Burns; a
home run by Ayres while Waterford's
left fielder hunted around in the grass
for the sphere and by Mcclure with
the help OF pass and Keeler's hit.
In the seventh Austin, who was not
in his usual condition owing to the
fact that he pitched game Friday,
yielded to Mcclure while Love took
the latter's place at third
Mcclure showed up remarkably well
striking out four men in three innings
and allowing but one pass and two
hits.
A feature of the game was the play
ing of young Keeler, the second base
man both at the plate and in the field.
He is credited with three hits two OF
which helped to score runs.
The score was as follows:

LICENSE IN RUTLAND.
Druggists Have Not Paid Their License
Fees.

Although there are three fifth class
liquor license places in Rutland city,
only one of the license holders has
paid the fee for his certificate The
alderman has not yet fixed the fee
for the licenses granted by them to
J. j. Trudel and T. A. Clifford. both of
Center st. The license granted by the
board of license commi issioners 10 J.

until the fee of so had been paid into
the city treasury.
The license law provides in section
% that fifth class licenses shall be is
sued "only after the notice, advertis-
ing, and hearing provided for other IL
censes, the payment of the fee herein
after specified, and the furnishing of
a bond. -
The city clerk called the attention
Of the board of aldermen to the omis-
sion last Tuesday and some little dis
cussion was held as to what the fee
should be Some favored putting it
at the same figure as that of the IL
cense commissioners, although none
knew at the time what that figure was.
Others thought it best to make the fee
$50 or 800 and thus put more money
in the city treasury. No definite de-
cision was made, although it is prob
able the fee will be made $40 in the
end.

Parker a Man of Few words.

ESOPUS, n, Y, July 11.-Silence,
absolute and determined, marked the
attitude OF Chief Judge Parker, and
not syllable of significance was to
be gathered from the few words he
uttered to the reporters. Having bro
ken his silence by the sensational dis
patch, he once more relapsed into his
customary quietude. Not even on the
subject of his running mate, ex-Sena-
tor Davis, would he speak.
