ELLIS WAS HIT FREELY.
Dartmouth Team Had Little Trouble in
Beating Athletics Saturday.

Ellis 5 delivery held little that was
enigmatical to the Dartmouth tined
les " Saturday afternoon, and the ease
with which they Strengthened his bend
ers into bingles allowed them TO win
the game by score of 8 to 9. The
contest was called AT the end of the
seventh inning on account OF the rain.
The local pitcher was hardly up to his
usual form or else his usual form was
not shapely enough to entrance the WIS.,
itors. In the first inning the Dart
mouth boys scored three runs on five
clean singles. and throughout the game
they were able to connect when hits
meant runs. "Bob Trendall, who
PLAYED right field for the ''medics
after the fourth inning, won his ID by
FASTING the leather over the right field
billboard for home run the first time
he came to bat. Later he drew base
on balls from Ellis and scored another
tally for the visitors
Although the fielding of the Athlet.
les was good, considering the damp
field, the boys did not play with the
vim they have been displaying, and on
several occasions were guilty of dopy
base running. Davis worked his Lajoie
optic for all it was worth and connect
ed safely with the ball four times out
of four times up. George Schildmiller,
formerly resident of this town,
caught for Dartmouth and incidentally
showed his ability as a willow wielder.

MIGHT INJuRE BRATTLEBoRo.
Removal Of County Buildings to This Town
Not Advisable.

Editor of The Reformer:
I noticed paragraph in your excellent
paper referring to some future happy day
when the county seat would be removed
from Newfane to Brattleboro.
This subject has been pretty Thoroughly
discussed of late years, although there is one
phase of the question that has been some
what neglected, and that is the possible IN
jury resulting to your own town in the
event such change is accomplished.
Everyone who has ever advocated such a
change has of course, declared that 1t
would be great thing for Brattleboro, what.
ever il might be for the towns northwest.
There is possibility, however that the
removal of the county buildings from New
fame to Bratteboro might work injury to
the latter as well as TO the former town,
because Of the fact that the prosperity of a
community is dependent to no small degree
upon the prosperity of people in territory
tributary to it. The truth of this PROPOSE
ton will stand the test of investigation.
If the towns up the West River valley
decline in wealth and population, how long
will ii be until signs of commercial decadence
are noticeable in Brattleborol If any one
doubts the Importance to Brattleboro of the
trade from the towns along this beautiful
valley, let him, from some vantage point OF
observation on the platform of the railroad
station at Brattleboro almost any day at
about $50 p. m. take note of the arms full
of goods carried by non-residents aboard the
West River train which leaves at 5.45 p. m.
and his doubts will be dssipated yet such
trade is but small portion of what is
done by freight and express.
Brattleboro has exceedingly bright pros
poets, but her position among prosperous
A. ha
attained by dealing a death blow to a neigh
boring town. Respectfully,
F. A. Dewitt.
