Last Saturday morning We were
treated 10 a severe thunder storm, one
OF the hardest that has been known for
some time. There was about an hour
OF it that was AS interesting as one
cares 10 see and hear. II WAS a series
of crash, hang! Lightning struck at
the foot Of large elm tree in stone
wall north Of Shepard Ave, and at the
same time ran into DR.. TrulPs house
on the telephone wire scorching things
in the immediate vicinity in good shape.
The telephone company had troubles
Of their own and Manager Woodcock
has been on the jump ever since trying
TO get things into shape. Over a hun
dred fuses were burned out in the
switchboard and several cables were
hurt necessitating great deal Of hard
work in getting things into any sort Of
shape.
The following we copy from the
last issue of the Brattleboro Phoenix.
The result is only what was expected
by the many friends of Mr.. Evans in
Manchester where be pitched for sew
eral seasons as a member OF the base
ball team of Burr Il Burton Seminary,
where be was attending school and for
he Equinox team in the summer sea-
son. " Chic Evans OF Bennington,
pitching for Hartford against Bridge
port in the Connecticut league Tues
day, made a record which probably
was never equalled in the history Of
professional baseball. Bridgeport fail
I'd to get hit or run, no Bridgeport
player reached first base and not once
did the ball go outside Hartford's dia-
nond. Evans struck out 10 men. Sew
sral pitchers have no-hit, no-run games
% their credit, but the details in such
games were not drawn so fine as in this
Instance. Cy Young, the Boston Am
,rican pitcher, has participated in three
10 hit, no-run games in major base
,all. and one OF the contests was an H.
nnIng struggle.
The Band Of Mercy held very
