Saturday afternoon by the decisive
score OF to-.
A record breaking crowd witnessed
the contest Owiag 10 the fact that
the olympics had declined TO make

cradle speculation as 10 what players

OF the AGGREGATION were strangers and

ningion ball tossers and stick sluggers
Undaunted, however, by this array
OF foreign talent, the locals went into
the battle 10 win, and win they did.
North Bennington began the run
getting in the third. Two OF their men
crossed the plate as the result OF bad
error or a misplay. Keller was play
ing close In and Lewis threw from
home 10 second TO catch the man. The
throw would have been good one
but the second corner was entirely un-

went bounding into the outheld could

Corbett's stars ba lanced up matters
in their next bats assisted 10y u free
pass, Higgins single and an error by
Diver, one-day Olympic. More err
rors allowed two more tallies in the
fifth and sixth inning brought forth
another score.
MCGEE twirled an excellent game.
He handed out eight passes but made
up for this generosity by tanning out
nine men. lie was touched up for on
ly four scattered hits, all one-baggers
and he fielded his position in an err
orless manner. He pulled himself out
of tight places like a national Lacquer.
In the second with the bases full and
no one out, the local slab artist got out
OF the difficulty without man cross
ing the rubber. A feature Of the game
was d. Higgins catch in left field In
the fourth.
Higgins, the left hand twirler, who
was in the box for the north village
but four hits, gave six bases
on balls and famed five men. He di d
good work at all times but received
poor support at critical periods.
The battle was unusually interesting
throughout and Notwithstanding the
large number of errors, was an eXhi-
bition of many neat plays.
The game is over and Bennington
was victorious over its rivals from the |
village five miles distant. The local
fans were more than satisfied. The
aggregation and their sup
porters we're much surprised. All
however agree it was a good exhibition.

Gently. Fuller Mellish, whom Denver
critics credited with being the peer of
the great Mansfield, was the innocent
cause of all the trouble. The person
atty of Mansfield is such that he will
brook no rival, and the torrent of his
wrath was not vented until four Of
the foremost members of his company
had been discharged. Other members
of the company who felt the wrath OF
the great actor were Eleanor Barry,
Leslie Kenyon and w. N. Gilmore. All
had prominent parts.
Budapest.-Mme. Pricille, who made
a fortune as an actress at the Hun
garian National theater, has decided
to adopt as her son a young author
named Bozynay, whom she was en-
gagged to marry. She was sc years of
age and her family attempted to pre-
vent the union by obtaining a decree
of the court depriving her of the con
troll of her estate. Thereupon she
declared that she had given up all
idea of marrying the author, but would
adopt him and would leave him he1

HEALTHY CHILDREN.

Without good health life is not
worth living. Sickly, peevish chill
dren are a source of endless trouble
and anxiety to their parents, yet the
children's condition is frequently due
to their parents ignorance or thought
lessness, or both.
To make children healthy and to
keep them in that condition it is nee
essary to feed them proper food and
to see that they get plenty of exer-
else and fresh air. Meat is very bad
for children. 1t should be avoided
and food rich in phosphates, such as
Pillsburys Vitos, should be given in
its place.
This food is truly the meat of the
wheat" 1t is made by the worlds
greatest millers and it is free from
artificial coloring or adulteration. II
is not especially a child's food. Your
whole family will enjoy this commar
sense cereal. 1t makes a wholesome
substantial breakfast or an appetiz
ing dessert and can be prepared il
one hundred different ways.
Every good grocer will supply yol
with Pillsbury's Vitos. Large pack
