VISITORS FAST PLAYERS
Massachusetts, Boys Had Heavier
Line and The Backs We're
Good Runners.

The first football game OF tile season
was played at the athletic field Satur-
day between the Bennington and VIII
Jamestown high school teams. The To-
cal team while possessing good indiy-
idual players was slower In action and
showed lack OF practice and knowledge
OF signals. Williamstown was far SUI
perior In the line and the forwards
got into each play far more quickly
than their opponents. The players on
the home eleven we're changed too FREE
quently for good team work.
In the 1rst half williamstown scored
one touchdown, q good and a safety
making eight points. In the second
half the Massachusetts boys scored
two more touchdowns but failed TO
make good on the goals. For Ben
nington the best work was by Loner-
gan, Pellerln and Sibley while Warren
made the star runs for Williamstown.

graduate OF the same school, In which
the lessons are learned at night when
the days work is over.
He has this characteristics reserve
like the rest OF the leaders, but / Judge
that at times no Is capable OF losing IL.
Ten years ago when he was n member
OF the South Australian Parliament,
he told In campaign speech certain
things about this same shipping trust

ocean commerce OF Australia. All that
he said has since been demonstrated

ny an arrangement similar 10 that
employed In Mr. Lavson's case, the
trust put up a dummy to sue Mr. Price
for libel. The libel laws OF Australia
are relic OF sheer savagery. The
trust got a verdict OF $500. Mr. Price
owned his cottage, the result OF years
OF toiling at his trade and beyond that
he had not a dollar. So the great

by james Waters OF whitehall, q
cousin Of the dead man.

Is thought that he went to the South

that night.
DR. r. Haliord Miner, health officer,
gives apoplexy as the cause OF death
and that the appearance of the body
indicates that the man must have been
dead about ten days. On the contrary
man who knew McDonough we'll says
that he saw McDonough on the street

CRESTON CLARKE TONIGHT
Well Known Actor in "Ths Raced Messen.
GER"

With minister OF the gospel as It's
leading character ''The Ragged Mes
senger" which appears at the opera
house tonight with Creston Clarke In
the leading role, was bound to be com.
pared with that other play "The
Christian" whose central figure also is
clergyman. The comparison has
always been in favor of the new play.
Both the clergy and the laity have
endorsed 1t unreservedly.
The church approves 1t because 1t
teaches attractively but none the less
forcibly that Righteousness will always
triumph over sin. The public applauds
it because 1t deals with live throbbing
issues that the present entire civilized
world is trying to solve.
Such play interests and engages
the thinkers by the scope and verify OF
its ethics while tentertains and thrills
the playgoers by the novelty and Wig.
or OF its story. 1t is unquestionably
the play OF the year.
