Bosk's Skull Fractured by a Pitched Ball.

Bosk's Skull Fractured by a Pitched Ball.
John Bosk, the star pitcher who was
an important factor in winning the Twin
State league championship for Brattle-
boro, by shutting out Keene in the La
Dor day game at Island park and holding
Bellows Falls down to a few scattered
hits the previous Friday, when Brattle-
boro landed the postponed game, 3 to 2,
at Bellows Falls, sustained a fractured
skull at Fitchburg Saturday and is now
in the Burbank hospital on the danger
Gus list. The doctors say he has an
even chance to recover.
Fitchburg was playing against the
Rover Athletic club of Boston. Joseph
Harrington, a well-known professional,
was on the slab for the athletic CLUB.
When Bosk went to bat in the first in
| ming a swift inshoot thrown by Harring-
| ton struck him on the left side of the
! skull. He dropped unconscious in his
tracks. He was Immediately removed to
the hospital and in the evening special
lists removed a piece of his skull to re-
lieve the pressure on his brain.
Bosk was married two weeks ago. HIS
wife, who was a spectator at the game,
| tainted when the accident occurred.
Bosk pitched for Bennington this sea-
| son, winning Is out of Is games. When
| Bennington d%isbanded he joined the Brat
tleboro club. He went from here to ut-
ca. N. Y, finishing the season with the
cluD representing that tllS 'he ~"
York state league. He had signed with
Utica for next season.
The %Fitchburg Sentinel's account of the
accident differs somewhat from that
| published in the Boston Globe. 1t says
Harrington is the Boston college twirler,
that he pitched a very swift, straight
| ball, and that Bosk evidently thought 1t
would break in a sharp curve, as he
made little effort to get out of the way.
The ball struck him on the left temple
When the operation was performed four
fra of bone were removed. The
injury was a large depressed fracture,
but no large blood vessel seemed to be
affected. Bosk was able to speak, but
could not use his right arm.

is THERE ANY DOUBT IN YOUR
MIND as to which cream separator will
give you the most satisfactory service =
and be the most economical for you to
buy? I'm
Here Is a proposition that should interest
you.
Write me to bring a DE LAVAL out
to your house and set 1t up for you. Try
out any other SEPARATOR you wish along
side it. Give them both a fair, honest
trial. Then buy the machine that
Skins the cIeanest, turns the easiest; Is
best constructed, is easiest to wash.
If there is any doubt in your mind
when you make this test as to the COM
p~arative skimming of the two machines,
take a sample of skim milk from each
separator and send it to your state ex-
pertinent station. They will tell you
which sample contains the most butter
fat. Thousands and thousands of DE
LAVAL SEPARATIONS are sold every
year on just such tests.
We don't hesitate to ask you to make
such a test because We know the DE
LAVAL will skim cleaner and give you
better service han any machine on the
market. That's why we are perfectly
willing to let you try it out alongside
of any 'would-be" competing machine
ever built. Our willingness to have you
make such a test should mean more to
you than volumes of printed claims.
Give your cows a square deal. Be fair
to yourself. If there is ony one farm
machine that should be of the best pos
sible construction it is the cream separa-
tor. 1t is used oftener than any piece
of farm machinery-730 times a year
and the very best machine you can buy
will be far the cheapest in the end. You
nave always heard the DE LAVAL
| spoken of as a high grade machine. All
DE LAVAL users are DE LAVAL
boosters" because it always makes
good"
9S per cent of the worlds creameries
use DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARATORS.
We take old and inferior separators
in trade and give plenty of time to pay,
should you buy. Catalogues and all in
formation free.
