 Sharon defeated Lakeyille 2nd last Saturday in an exciting ten inning game by the score of II to 10. Sharon was without the services of several of their star players and would ordinarily have won by larger score. The game was featured by the heavy batting of Ma honey and c. Eggleston, each getting a home run with the bases full. Ma honey and Franks each got three bag ger. Rhoades pitched the first eight innings but weakened slightly in the ninth and was replaced by G. Eggleston, who prevented the the opposing team from getting hit. The best crowd of the season attended the contest, which ii very gratifying to the team; without the support of the town the team would be forced to disband. A good schedule has been arranged and the boys will do their best to give a good account of themselves, so turn out, people of Sha ron, and give them your moral and financial support.

MANY RECORDS
ARE RECOVERED
Found Intact Under Tons Of
Stone In Albany
ABOUT 100000 TO REPAIR

Estimated Cost In RehabiIitating Capt
toll Will Practically Wipe Out Esti
mated Surplus In State Treasury
Few Pals of Water or Fire Extin
gulsher Would Have Saved Build
ing Had They Been Near at Hand
Albany, March 81 More than 10O
men attacked the smoking ruins left
by the fire in the west end of the state
capitol with shovels and crowbars and
soon discovered that the wreck of the
states magnificent library was not as
complete as at first supposed.
Buried under tons of stone shivered
from the surrounding walls by the in
tense heat lay thousands of books
which can be preserved by rebinding
and many that escaped unscathed.
The salvage in books, pamphlets and
manuscript records may amount to
many thousands of dollars.
The records of the War of 1912 were
found intact, and the custodians hope
that as the work progresses other
valuable relics at first believed to be
lost may be found, if not unframed, at
least in a state worthy of preserva-
ton. Just what books and records
persisted and what books were saved
will not be known for several days,
since the workmen have an immense
task before them in removing the
debris.
The 800 900 which the legislature
was asked to appropriate, by bill in
troduced yesterday, is not expected
to finance the work of construction.
The appropriation is asked to pay for
clearing away the ruins and restoring
the water soaked and smoke-stained
walls and furnishings of rooms which
escaped the flames.
Unofficial estimates place the cost
of reconstruction close to 81 900, 900.
1t is said that an appropriation of this
size would practically wipe out the
estimated surplus remaining in the
state treasury at the end of the pres
ent fiscal year. The state cannot bond
itself for this rebuilding and the
money must be taken directly from the
treasury.
A large part of the papier mache
ceiling in the assembly chamber will
have to be renewed. Before they can
be used again the members desks will
have to be refinished, and it may be
necessary to purchase a new outfit Of
interior assembly room furnishings.
The men who discovered the fire
say that they could have put it out
easily If they could have found an ex-
or even a few pals of wa
ter.
No official attempt has been made to
ascertain the cause of the fire nor has
the vague talk of negligence resulted
in definite charges to any one in au-
The militia probably will
continue to guard the building as long
as the firemen are at work there.
