contest and while the visitors were
unable to solve Bosks delivery to the
extent of putting many men on bases
the game was interesting at all sta
ges.
Bennington touched up Pitcher
Merrick for hits but had the Co
hoes boxman been given the support
that backed up Bosk the game would
have been close. In only one inning
were the Bennington batters able to
bunch hits to any extent but they did
manage to send out the safe swate in
conjunction with the misplays of the
Cohoes infield.
Both pitchers had excellent control,
Bosk especially. Only one man was
passed and most of the batters hit
quickly after coming to the plate.
This feature made the game unusual

VAUDEVILLE ENTERTAINMENT
Given by the Junior Members Of the
Mt. Anthony Club.

Last Saturday evening the mem
bers of the Mt. Anthony Country
club were given the most enjoyable
entertainment of the season. 1t con-
sisted Of a vaudeville performance
and tableaux from the various
operas. Local talent was the cry
and every performer showed marked
ability. The evenings jollity began
at s when Messrs George Worthing-
ton, Jr., and George E. Scrivens Jr.,
rendered a banjo duet effectively
aided by phonograph. The cos
tunes of these young men were droll
in the extreme and would have done
credit to George Primerose. Then
came a solo by Miss Ann Shields,
which called for several encores.
Following her, John Bradford, the
Burlington golfer, in Tagliacchi. To
see the terrible Lindsay with

even Miss Shields cringe. The last

There are many followers of the
game in Bennington who will regret
that circumstances, particularly the
decreasing attendance at the Satur-
day games, have made it necessary
for Manager Higgins to release Joe"
Carroll, the Pittsfield boy who has
covered second base for the team
during the past two seasons. Car
ron is a quiet gentlemanly young
fellow who played thorough game
at his position. He was by no means
a grand stand player. but the score
book shows that large percentage
OF the balls that went into his terri
tory whether from the bat or thrown
from any part of the dia-
mond landed In his NIT. In
a throw from the plate to
catch a runner he was unusually
sure and seldom failed to get his
man II he had any kind of a chance
to do so. In Saturdays game he had
~ chances and accepted them all.

FALLING PANE KILLS GIRL
Glass Drops Five Stories and Nearly

New York, July 1S,-An odd acct
dent, causing the death of a young
woman, occurred here Friday when a
sheet of window glass, accidentally
knocked from the frame, fell five
stories and killed Miss Lena Phillips
She was almost decapitated. The
pane Of glass which became unfas-
tened while being washed, sailed
obliquely through the air and slanted
against the neck of Miss Phillips who
was walking on the street below. She
fell to the ground without an cutlery.

BOTH SIDES HOPE

Great Strike on the PennsyI-

CONFERENCE IN SESSION
Railroad Company Is Preparing to
Take Care Of New Men to Break
Strike

Philadelphia, July 17.-Hope that
the conference tomorrow between
the members of their committee and
Gen. Manager Myers of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company would re-
suit in a clearer understanding of
their demands by the railroad officials
and that the necessity for a strike
would be ayerted, was expressed to-
day by President A. b. GaTetson of
the Order of Railway Conductors and
w. G. Lee the head of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen. While
Mr.. Lee refused to add anything to
the statements he has already made
public regarding the controversy, he
declared his belief that the 10 hour
standard the men ask for could be
put into effect by the company with
out making any sacrifice. He ex-
planned that there would have to be
numerous exceptions as are now the
case where there are regular runs
of greater length than the standard.
In those cases." he said, the com
pany seems TO be under the miscon-
ception that We are asking more mon
ey for the men. That is not the case.
All that we demand is that the pay
of these particular men be not de-
creased in the Standardization of the
road.
Both Sides are Firm
While there is a feeling that peace
may be arranged at tomorrow's con-
ference, both sides declare that they
will not recede from the positions
they have already taken. The labor
leaders will continue to hold out for
the 10 hour day and the railroad offic-
ials while willing to grant this, are
unwilling to increase the expenses OF
Their road. The question Of over
time may be the subject Of compro-
mise proposition, II is said.
Since the last conference Of the
leaders of the men on the lines east
with Gen. Manager Myers, the men
on the lines west have reached bet
ter understanding with Gen. Manag-
er Peck in Pittsburg, where another
conference Is to be held tomorrow.
lac good feeling in the West may
have its influence on the meeting
here.
Company is Preparing
The Pennsylvania railroad officials
had no statement to give out today.
They appear hopeful that tomorrow's
conference may end in an understand
ling that will avert the threatened
lstrike, but, nevertheless. they are
continuing their preparations TO cope
with walk-out. Elaborate plans for
the housing of men are being put In
to effect, and other employees OF the
company are being prepared to take
the place OF those who would heed
the call in the event OF the strike or
der issuing. The problem OF police
protection along the lines OF the COM
pany is also being carefully worked
out.

him the best man with the indicator

possible exception Of "Clem" Jones.
Jones is n man OF many years exper-
fence and has acquired the style Of
a finished umpire. On balls and
strikes Il was the general opinion
that Lonergan was exceptionally
good He followed the ball closely

Bennington has three games ar
ranged for the present week. On
Wednesday the team will play Rut
land at Morgan park, Thursday il
goes to North Adams and on Satur-
day It is probable that another game
will be played with the All Athletes
OF Cohoes who gave such a fine ex-
Inhibition Saturday afternoon. The
game with Rutland ought to be worth
seeing. The Marble City aggrega-
ton has been going through the
hardships of organization, but at
present should be in shape to give
the Huckleberry boys a run for their
money. The attendance at the Sat.
urday afternoon games has been
rather light lately and the Wednes-
day afternoon date should givh people
who are too closely tied to business
late In the week an opportunity to
witness some good base ball.
