NORTH ADAMS GAMES OFF
Players Decide to Give up Series and
to Play Hartford League
Team

The Bennington base ball team
will play Cooperstown at Morgan
park tomorrow afternoon. The
Coperstown team is largely com
posed Of college players who were
gathered together early in the season
and who We're maintained at the New
York state summer resort town dur
ing the months of July and August.
Since the close of the season at
Coopcrstown the team has been play
ing on a transforming trip in different
towns with fairly good success.
Mitchell will probably pitch the
game tomorrow with burlington at
the receiving end OF the battery. Sui
Ivan will be at first, Mahoney at sec
ond, Finnegan at short and DAILY at
third. Prindle, Ryan and Inglis will
constitute the outfield.
Last night a telephone message

as games had already been scheduled
with North Adams. Mitchell. who
made the arrangements with the
North Adams players refused to can
eel the games, but the players were
all for making the change and taking
on the leaguers. Mitchell then re-
signed as captain and manager OF
the team and a letter was sent to
Manager Connery accepting his terms
for games in Bennington Saturday
and Sunday.
The games with Hartford will give
Remington people an opportunity &c

ENGINEER WAS TO BLAME
Public Service Commission Fixes Re-
sponsibllityyor Salisbury Collision

Newport, Sept. 19.-Rufus w Spear
clerk Of the public service commits
sion, makes public two orders, Nos.
$50 and 1873 relating to railroad hear
ings. The commission find in the
case of the fatal accident to ]. G..
Cortland and personal injuries to
three others in a collision between
engine 1887 and train "a on the Rut-
land railroad near Salisbury on June
10, that Engineer l.. j. Greene Of en-
CINE 1887 was wholly responsible for
the disaster. The commission, COM
menting Oh the matter, says light en-
CINE No. 1887 was crippled being dis
connected on one side and was being
conducted to Rutland, L. J. Greene as
engineer.
At North Bennington as he admits
Mr. Greene received an order to meet
train No. "a at South SALISBURY and,
as he also admits, he then knew train
No. "a had corresponding order He
also admits, that in accordance with
the middle order system, he expected
and was looking for that same order
to be given him at South SALISBURY,
the meeting point, as that is the next
station north of North Bennington so
the only station at which he could
seasonably receive the duplicate or
der The side tract that he would
take at South SALISBURY to fulfill his
order Is some distance north of the
station the duplicate order addressed
to Mr. Greene and directing him to
meet Train No. "a at South Shafts
bury, the operator duly displayed his
order board and, that Mr.. Greene
might not be delayed by stopping his
engine, took the order, ran south OF
the station and handed it to Mr..
Greene as he slowly moved in. Where
upon the order board was turned so
as to allow Mr. Greene to pass the
station.
All this Mr.. Greene admits except
that he says that the order so handed
him by the operator at South Shafts
bury was an order directing him to
meet train "a at SALISBURY instead
OF South SALISBURY that he under.
stood the operator to say Shafts
bury" as he handed him the order
that later he read the order and
found that It changed the meeting
point to SALISBURY, that he had the
order in his hand when the collision
occurred and lost il at that time But
we are well satisfied indeed on the
evidence there cannot be the slight
est doubt that the order handed Mr.
Greene at South SALISBURY was the
duplicate of that received by him al
North Bennington directing him tC
meet train No. "a at South Shafts
bury. Though Mr.. Greene had beer
an engineed for only about year he
is very intelligent and his examina
ton prior to his promotion showed
him competent.
These are the facts and 1t would b.
Improbable to speculate to Just how
in the circumstances Mr.. Greene hap
lpened to leave the yard at Soutl
Shaftsbury before the arrival o
train No. a.
