Addison County Y. M. c. a. Work.


The Y. NJ. G.. A. was organized in Ad
olson County in January 1908, with {
secretary who then seemed available
Something happened that this man coulC
not come and the committee was obliged
20 wait until September when l. A
| Stewart was secured and after serving
until Apr. 30, 1909, he resigned, leaving
the county without a secretary until the
ing Moran of Shenandoah County, Va.
/ who came to the field Oct. 70, 1909.
! MIR, Moran knows county work thor.
oughiy, having served in different ca
pacities for six years. He was county
committeeman, and president of local
organization for three years, during
which time he built up and maintained
splendid work with a membership of
4S with only three hundred within a
circumference of six miles.
The ordinary features of Y. NJ G. A.
religious, social, educational and phys
ical work were used with these men and
boys.
Because of his ability and insight into
community needs, and his tact with
men and boys he was induced to give up
a lucrative position and enter the field of
county work in Virginia. Besides three
years actual experience as a secretary
Mr. Moran has found time to study his
work from scientific standpoint, and he
comes to us as a graduate of the Y. M.
e. A. Training Institute of Silver Bay,
New York, being one of Is men in North
America who now hold diplomas.
Besides organizing the work in Middle
bury and Vergennes, Mr.. Moran has
been making close sociological study of
the county with view to determining
the needs and locating available leaders.
1t is the intention of the county COM
mittee to organize all points as fast as
leaders can be secured.
DR.. H. L. Averill is president of the
Middlebury Association and Robert Cur
rier director of boys work. Rev. Geo.
Pomfrey is president in Vergennes.
Besides the Bible classes, these organi-
cations are arranging for numerous hikes,
skeeing parties, winter camps, coasting
parties, basket ball, indoor baseball, etc.
The educational department is working
out a schedule of practical talks and lee
lures. including such subjects as bees,
horticulture, birds, insects and growing
plants, care of the teeth and dental sur
gerry, insurance, civics. elements of busi
ness success, ancient Rome and many
others.
A series of Sunday afternoon evangeI
istic srN ices for men are being arranged
and countrywide campaign for clean
speech, clean athletics and clean living.
A full program for the first six months
work for Middlebury and Vergennes will
he printed soon.

e. N. Severence Going Out of
Business.

On another page of the Register this
week F.. M. Severance, who succeeded
the firm of Robbins & Severance in the
furniture business. takes considerable
space to advertise "going out of busi-
ness" sale. Mr.. Severance wants to retire
from business by the first of March and
to do this will make sweeping reduc-
tion in prices, probably the lowest for
honest goods ever offered in Middlebury,
and lower than can be obtained in Bur-
lington or any other outside town. Any
one in need of these goods can save
money by looking over Severance's stock,
which is complete and up-to-date.

Rudderham made himself ridiculous
this afternoon and did it with everybody

game Pitcher Covaleski was standing on
the coaching line near first. From the
Baron bench came voice suggesting
to Rudderham that he get in the game.
The umpire stopped play and cried from
behind the pitchers. box: a"You get off
that bench, Covaleski!" No one moved

as something entirely out of the ordinary
In every line of work there are a few men
who stand out so far that it does not take
an expert eye to place them as the best
in the business; Chase is one of these.
He was so young and so care-free and
such kid in many ways-sort of Peter
Pan of the diamond, in fact-that the
wise old heads feared that he would never
grow up. The bleachertes and the other
players were satisfied with Halibut as he
was. So long as he continued to pull off
Chase double plays and grab impossible
pegs at first base, he was good enough to
fill the bill and lop over bit on the side.
There wasn't a first baseman anywhere
who could show him up. 1t isn't on rec
ord that any first baseman ever tried.
But chase as "a teau1 captain? That was
to laugh and expose the. Ignorance.

a kid in years. He had been with the
Yanks for several seasons.
He was particular strong on sitting
down and explaining the points of baseA
ball strategy. Chase has never had to
think these things over and evolve plays;
they come to him like flash after the
ball is hit or THROWN and any man who
has ever played the Yank infield will bear
testimony that Chase Keeps that entire
combination hustling and up on its toes
to keep abreast of him. 1t has always
been that way with Chase. Way back in
the days when he was playing second
base for a college team, and encroaching
on the shortstop and nabbing flies in all
the three fields and reaching around be-
hind the first sbaseman, he played the

to do the wrong thing with the ball once
he got it in his mitt.

professionals by picking up the intricate
points of the professional game without
coaching and from his position at first
base he dominated the entire infeld. No
body has ever had to tell Hal Chase any
thing. Now why wouldn't a man like
that make good team captain? Napo-
leon was a young man when he burst into
the European league and after he came
in they remodelled league rules to suit
him, so it may be said that there is no
real objection to a mans youth, provided
he delivers the goods.
That's what Halibut Chase has been
doing He has made good as team cap

and the string of Yanks victories may be
traced to the kid first baseman and team
captain.
In way, Chase and McGraw are alike.

One Lone Run Gives Atlanta The

From that time to the conclusion the

Bauer pitched an excellent game and

heave the Crackers might never have
scored. Rogers did well, too, though why
the Barons failed to drive him to the
hills is a mystery. If they let Rogers
keep them from hitting 1t remains to be

pitcher gets in front of them. The team

the inning was over Jordan and Smith
gave him a call-down. 1t is said by
local sporting writer's that Sentell is the
bone of contention on the Atlanta club,
and the cause of existing internal dis

Well, the Barons are playing pretty
