lem Board of Trade has adopted
a new policy in its advertising poll

of its ten thousand dollar publicity
funds to send a copy of The Saturday
Journal to every person who writes
TO the Salem, Board OF Trade for In
formation about the Capital City, and
there will be no more literature sent
out for any real estate Arms as has
been the custom the past year. The
board has decided on this as good
proposition for the board and for the
city OF Salem. Every real estate
man advertises in this newspaper
moer or less and II he knows that
every person who writes TO the Board
OF Trade during the week will get
a copy OF the Saturday Journal tells
he knows that his advertisement is
going to the intending homeseeker
who may be brought this way. Be
sides The Salem Jornal tells OF great
many other fine things that are be-
ing done at Salem, and in all this
part OF the state This progressive D
policy on the part OF the City Board
OF Trade will help advertise the city
on the right lines by showing those
who write here that our city has live
newspapers as well as a live Board
OF Trade. and the two together form
n strong combination.

DARING HOLD-UP
 ON [. CANAAN ROAD
BADGLEY'S DRIVER ATTACKED
Nathaniel Storm Meets Desperate, Who Attempts to Rob Him-Excit. ing Encounter Follows and the PIuCkY Nat Knocks Man Out.

About dusk, Saturday, while he was driving 0. E. Badgley's meat wagon into this village, Nathaniel Storm, commonly known as Nat, was held up by a highwayman, who attempted to rob him and with whom he had an exciting encounter.
 The episode happened on the East Canaan road, about mile and a half from here. Storm was rolling along homeward at fair jog, when suddenly the horses stopped and reared and he was surprised to discover that a man held the animals. The stranger wore n black slouch hat, which was pnlled down on his forehead and in which holes for his eyes had been cut. He was short, stout individual and carried a revolver in one hand. However, Nat jumped out of the wagon and attacked the man so quickly that he was evidently taken by surprise, for he failed to use the gun, even by way of threat. Storm grappled with the desperado, who exhibited con siderable strength, combined with the tenacity of a bull dog. The butcher gradually forced his combatant back wards, until they were at the rear of the wagon. Then Nat succeeded on forcing the highwayman off. and grabbing a cleaver from the vehicle. The fellow came right back at him, but as he did SO, Storm ducked and hit him with the instrument. The man reeled and fell prostrate i'll she road, whereat Storm hastily jumped into the wagon and drove hurriedly into Canaan.
 The footpsd may have been severely hurt by the blow. but he was doubtless only temporarily stunned, else he would have later been discovered by some passerby.
 Storm says he believes that he saw the fellow, in company with another man, walking along the road about an hour before the attack. but he paid no particular attention to them.

The relative runs scored by the differ
ms are as follows;

| If one is to believe the reports coming from the various towns represented in the League it seems to be the unanimous opinion of the baseball fans and enthu- siasts that the season of 1909 has proven to be flat failure when compared with last season. It is generally admitted that the reason for this change is due to the over-zealousness to win at any costs, as exhibited by several of the teams of the league.
 When it is taken into consideration that most of the teams of the League finished this season financially embar. rassed and also the fact that last season each team finished the year with some what of balance in their different treasuries, one cannot help but wonder whether the poor showing this year is not due to the fact that several of the teams have introduced outside talent to represent them upon the diamond.
 The Canaan team finished last, but let 1t be said to their credit that they have abided by the strict interpretation of the rules and regulations of the Housatonic Valley League and have played their home talent, and with the better element of people in this locality bear a better name for so doing than some of the other teams who have higher percentage.
 THE NEWS has taken the stand from the beginning of the Housatonic Valley League that the only means of success aFe so be gained by sticking closely to local talent and treating the sport for sports sake, and not doing anything and everything to win.
 We most sincerely hope that the Housatonic Valley League may continue and prosper during the season of 1910, and that rule No. shall be "That every player who represents any of the teams of the League shall be bona fide resi- dent of the town whose team he repre- sents, and that he shall have been a resi- dent of that town since the first day of January, prior" If this rule is strictly enforced we feel that it would te possible to duplicate the season of 1908 and we hope that this may be done.
