Co. G. at Muster.

Woodstock may take considerable
pride in its national guard company.
After being mustered in only little
over three months it took it's place in
the regiment in such manner as to
draw many complimentary remarks
Col. j. Grey Estey, who by the way
is considered one of the best national
guard officers in the United States,
said to Captain Spear that he had an
outfit to be proud of.
From the first Co. 9 held it's own,
finishing in second place in pitching
tents, out of the five companies that
detrained with it. At the second
guard mount Co. G furnished a
headquarters orderly, which proves
efficiency in manual of arms and
neatness of uniform.
In the tercentenary parade at Bur,
lington Co. G's close order forma-
tions were up to the standard, and
the 25-mile "hike" of the day of the
parade didn't seem to "faze them
any, either.

Woodstock Shut Out.

From casual reports of the game
at Keene, N. H, Wednesday. the
local statistician's figures not being
at hand, it is understood that the
Woodstock team didn't play ball very
much. Score, Keene 8, Woodstock
0. The locals made seven errors,
most of Them costly, and in the first
inning or two they dropped or
messed up every ball batted thrown
at 'em. Keene hit hard and the
New Hampshire team played an
errorless game.
Though badly defeated, Woodstock
isn't crushed, and the team will give
a better exhibition next Wednesday,
when Keene returns for the fourth
game
Today Woodstock plays the "All
Collegians on Vail field. Game at
4 o'clock.

BASE BALL.
Woodstock 6, Keene 2.

Two scores in the second inning,
on an error by the locals, were the
grand total acquired. by Manager
Jim Donovan's team from Keene, n.
H., which came here last Saturday
for the express purpose of trimming
the victors in their first encounter.
The two teams were we'll matched
and the game, Which unfortunately
ended in the seventh inning, started
off briskly, with Pike and Sebastian
doing the battery work for the visi
tors and Pugsley and Hayden for
Woodstock.
At the send-off Woodstock 8 errors
began to make talk on the bleachers,
and in the second inning collision
between Ryan and Fitzmorris allow
ed two Keene players to cross the
plate.
In the third and fourth innings
Woodstock evened up the score,
Pugsley making the first clean hit
which sent Hayden home, and Mr..
Pugsley isn't high up in the batting
order either. This heartened up the
spectators a whole lot, as Mr.. Pike
seemed all along to be pretty conf
dent of his ability to scare the enc
my to death.
In the fifth Pugsley was hit by a
hot liner from bat, but after ten
minutes wait for surgical attendance
he pluckily finished the inning,
showing perhaps little more ginger
than ever
In Woodstock's half of the fifth
MIR. Pike was mark for the local
sharpshooters, Grape making tie
first bull'seye. Mr.. Pike was touch
ed up once or twice more and then
he was sent into the field, Appleton
taking his place.
Mr.. Davis of Woodstock then pro-
ceeded to demonstrate that Mr.. APP
pleton was not success as a relief
worker by driving the ball into the
willows, very timely hit that scored
two men and put him on second
base. Dumas wslked to first in the
next inning and scored on Ryan's
hit.
A ball batted by Davis in the sec
ond inning struck third base. Wood
stock claimed hit. Umpire Dearcy
called it foul, and in spite of pro-
tests stuck to his decision. And
Woodstock kept on playing ball.
The game ended in the seventh,
when Leonard of Keene was at bat
He allowed ball to hit him, moi
moving in his tracks, though he
made several heartrending exclam
atoms of pain as he watched it or
the way. Umpire Fish wouldn't al
low Tom to take a base, and Mana
ger Donovan took the Keene team
from the field.
1t was a sorry exhibition of il

it was wrong for the wildcat to try

Yes said ROLAND. Then blow It.

Roland was about to throw down his
bugie and bid them take his life.
when a sudden notion. half heroic, half
born of the impertinence OF the Paris
Ian street boy. caught him. He smiled.
stepped out. put the bugie to his lips.
and. as loudly as he could. blew the
charge. 1t turned the tide Of battle.
Late in the day ROLAND was told by
his captors as they hurried him away
with them In their flight. that the
French had. after all. been victors.
and eight months later. when he was
released from captivity. the cross of
the legion was his reward A few
months afterward he had left the
army and became postman In his ma

ago the old man exchanged his
red ribbon for the rosette. and when
he dies he will receive full military
honors.
