Smith resented the interference and
jumped from the wagon
A fight followed, during which Burt
struck Smith over the head with a
piece of fence rail. The man was
not made unconscious, but appeared
to be dazed. He got into the wagon
without assistance, and the injury

Burlington, Oct. 30.--For the sec

was attempted In store in Winoos-
XII late Saturday evening by colored
men supposed TO be soldiers from

to be inundated even by the sight
of loaded revolyers levelled at their
eyes.

but Mr.. Carpenter heard no CONVEX

hold-up in that village, he stepped
out from the back room to investi-

cd toward the door with considerable
haste. And once outside, they fired
two shots into the air, and hurriedly
disappeared up Weaver street. The
police were notified but Carpenter
and his assistant could give no def
mite description of the men, aside
from the fact that they wore the reg
ulation blue uniforms and olive dral
overcoats and appeared to have army
revolvers and so the men have moi

BASEBALL IN NORTH ADAMS
Association VIII Have a Team In
1912 Season

North Adams will certainly have
a baseball team again next season.
That Is. the parties which control
the local club will place a nine in
the field at the beginning of the sea
son but it rests with the public
whether or not the schedule will be
completed II the support is suffic-
lent to cover the running expenses
Of the team, the season will be com
pleted but If the fans fail to attend
the games in any larger numbers
than was the case last spring, the
idea of trying to give the city base
ball will probably be given up
But the fact that the directors
have decided to give the proposition
another hold the coming year will be
pleasing news to many. 1t was re-
ported about the city that, when the
team disbanded last July, the local
board was all through trying to run
club but this story has since been
denied. One of the directors when
questioned on the subject recently
stated: you can safely say that we
will have club next spring"
The members of the board have
not given out any information in re-
gard to their plans but 1t is under
stood that there will be few changes
over the system which was adopted
last year The directors believe
that they have profited by their one
experience and that they can see
their way clear to give the city good
baseball and, at the same time, cut
down their running expenses another
season. 1t is quite likely that the
club next year will be headed by a
playing manager who will hold down
one of the infeld positions.-North

GAME ENDED IN A TIE
Bennington and kenawa Teams un-
Able TO Score on Each Other

The newly-organized Bennington
football team, composed largely OF
players who have been members of
the local high school elevens in pre-
vious years, had its first game at
Morgan park Saturday afternoon
against the Kenewa team of Adams.
Neither team was able to score dur
ing the four S-minute periods of fast
but rather ragged football.
The Bennington team has had but
little opportunity for practice and
consequently went into the game
with a considerable handicap. 1t
was evident that the team had not
as yet acquired much of a system
of offensive play but on the defense,
in which the individual ability Of
the men had an opportunity to dis
play itself, the local boys outclassed
their opponents. They broke up the
Kenewa interference and stopped
every runner before the ball could
be advanced any considerable dis
lance.
AS was expectci the Kenewa play
ers showed more football knowledge
They have been organized for some
time and have already played four
games this season. On one or two
occasions they threatened the Ben
nuington line but some bad fumbling
lost them the ball Once when they
had succeeded in penetrating the
Bennington line for several good
gains the Adams center passed the
ball over the heads of the backs and
1t was recovered by Bennington.
There were no long runs in the
game and no plays that bordered on
the spectacular except perhaps q
forward pass throw that was secur
ed by Moore. The Bennington end
also got away with one of these
basket ball plays started by the
Adams team. The lineup:
