BASE BALL suNrs
What is Going on In National Game
Circles In This Vicinity.

Guy Prindle, the Williamstown boy
who has played with the Bennington
team during the past two seasons and
who was severely injured by being
struck ON the head by a batted ball
while practicing at Williams college
last week, Is improving. For several
days following the accident he re-
manned in a semi-dazed condition, but
has now recovered consciousness.
The Pittsfeld papers still insist
that Hickey of Waterford has been
signed for the outfield on Manager
Curtin's team. Inasmuch as Hickey
was the first player to make an agree
ment with Manager e. s. Higgins,
and that several months ago, 1t is diff
ficult to comprehend how he can
play with Pittsfield. The three man
ayers, Higgins, Flagherty and Curtin,
some time ago agreed that there would
be no hiring of players from each
other and that player discharged
from one team would not be engaged
by the manager of any one of the
other three.
In case Woodstock should organize
team for the coming season one of
the proposals that would add inter.
est to the sport is a series OF Thurs
day afternoon games to be played be-
tween the eastern Vermont team and
the Bennington nine at Rutland. The
stores in the Marble city close Thurs
day afternoons during the summer
and it would be possible for the two
mines to make the trip without toe
much expense. Such series would
add materially to the interest in the
sport and assist in keeping both
teams in active training.
Joseph Grape, who secured an I'm
conditional release from the Jackson
vile, Fla, club Saturday, has signeC
/ with Manager Flagherty OF the Nortl
Adams team. Last year Grape wa
captain of the Woodstock team ant
played fast ball.

THE SHIELDS LECTURE
Many interesting Views Of Animal
and Bird Life.

Secretary Goebel has a letter from
Edward Grace, the General Secretary
of the st. Paul Y. NJ. c. A. concern
ing a lecture recently delivered there
by Col Shields. Mr.. Grace writes
Col Shields is much more than an
entertaining lecturer. with by far the
finest lot of stereopticon slides of
camera, shot birds and animals that
we have ever enjoyed. He is a pro
found prophet, speaking with con
vincing authority, earnestness and
power on a problem Of vital interest
to the nation.
I'VE have listened to the greatest
of the many able, eloquent patriots
now urging on the American citizen
the gospel of conservation Of national
resources. Foremost among then
stands Colonel Shields with his
heroic plea for the protection Of wild
animals and birds"
From all indications there will bt
a large house to greet Col. Shields
when he gives his lecture Friday eve
ming at the local Y. M. c. A.
