MOVE IN BIG POWER PLAN.
Chace g. Hartman File Plans for two
Dams on the Deerfield.

Preliminary plans for the construction
of two dams on the Deeriield river, east
of the Gardner Falls power plant of the
Greenfield electric light and power com
pany were filed in the Office of the clerk
of courts for Franklin county at Green
field Just before noon Saturday by attor-
neys representing Chace IL Hartman
This is the first move in the open by Chace
Il Hartman, who for the past two years
have been understood to be engaged in
securing rights for the development OF
power along the Deerfield river Many
vague rumors have been in circulation for
some time past as to plans for the develop
ment along the river, and it has grown to
be commonly believed that Chace x Har-
riman on the one hand and David B. Carse
on the other were competing for rights of
fowage. 1t would seem that the move
just made by Chace & Hartman is a
march stolen upon David B. Carse, as a
considerable portion of the land which
will be flowed by the dams which are pro-
posed in the notifications filed is indicated
to belong to Carse.
The plans in detail call for the con-
struction of two concrete dams, the more
westerly or upstream dam being about
one mile east of the Gardner Falls dam,
being particularly described as about 20OO
feet northwesterly of Bear river, and the
lower or more easterly dam is situated
just west of Dragon brook, which empties
into the Deerfeld not far west of Bard
well s Ferry The more westerly dam,
according to the plans filed, is to be 60 feet
in height, and will set back the river to a
point quarter of mile downstream from
the foot of the Gardner Falls raceway.
The reservoir established by this setback
will flow within 10 feet of the tracks
of the Boston 4 Maine railroad at
point opposite the crest of the dam.
The lower dam, as described in the plans
filed, will,be erected 80 feet high and will
set the river back to the foot of the upper
dam, raising the water to point within
Is feet of the level Of the railroad tracks
at the crest of the dam.
The preliminary plans are signed by
Thatcher B. Dunn and Frederick j. Dunn
of Gardner, attorneys for Chace Il Harri-
man. The blue print accompanying the
notifications to the county commissioners,
filed under the requirement of the statute
recurring notice to the county commissions
ers of the plans for any dam or reservoir
construction which may result in danger
to the public, show the contour of the
Deerfeld river for about three miles and
indicate the outlines of the banks of the
reservoirs which the erection OF the dams
will establish.

FELL FIFTY FEET.
Elias Foley Severely Injured in Vernon
Sunday Afternoon.

Elias Foley, inspector and line patrol
man for the Connecticut River Power
company, fell from one OF the steel trans
mission towers near Central Park, Yer
non Sunday afternoon, distance OF
about so feet, and received bad disloca-
ton of his right arm His right ankle
and right side were also injured. He was
brought to Brattleboro by Mr.. and Mrs.
H. A. Staten in their automobile and
taken to the Memorial hospital where
DR.. +. H. O'Connor attended him. The
accident occurred shortly before o clock.
Mr.. Foley and two assistants were at
work repairing the company's private
telephone line which is carried on the
same towers and poles as the $4,000 volt
line which brings current from Vernon to
Brattleboro.
The men were at work high up on the
tower nearest the Central Park railroad
station and it is supposed that Mr.. Foley
received a shock of static electricity from
the telephone line as he has recollection
of feeling the current passing through his
body and remembers that he lurched from
the pole. He was unconscious when
picked up by his companions but soon
recovered his senses though he was dazed
when brought to Brattleboro. Mr.. Sta
ten took Mr. Foley to DR.. O'Connor' s
Office and the physician had the injured
man removed to the hospital. Though
badly bruised and severely shaken by his
fall it is believed that he will suffer no
permanent effects and will soon be able
to leave the hospital.
Mr.. Foley is an expert electrician and
extremely cautious in his work upon the
high tension wires between Brattleboro
and Vernon. A part of his duties are to
make daily patrol of certain sections of

to 0, Saturday.
Dr. j. b. Duffy, who is acting manager
of the keene league team, expects to be
able to make announcement OF his lineup
within a few days. Tommy Leonard
who is to manage kecne during the season
is said to have been whanging the ball foi
something over 400 per cent at the unl'
versity Of Chattanooga this spring.
If the venerable J. Pluvius doesn Z
run amuck on Saturday, July |, the oc-
! casion is to be made memorable one III
this town. Whether the memory will be
pleasant or not depends upon the success
of the Brattleboro team has in its opening
game with Bellows Falls. Arrangements
| for the opening have not been completed
but there will be a parade of player,
through Main street to Island park and
| music by the First Regiment band Will
enliven the dongs.
Manager Breckenridge OF the local team
came up from Amherst, Mass, Saturday
afternoon to take look at the island
grounds. The appearance OF the park
pleased him very much and he said there
were few towns of the size that could
boast Of so fine a baseball establishment
Under Breckenridge S direction, the dla-
mond was staked out and within short
time now the base lines will be cut out
and filled In company with ii. {. Rice
of the local association Breck iourneyed
to Bellows Falls and Springfield Sunday
to meet the other Twin State league
magnates.
At a meeting of the directors of the
Twin State league in Springfield, VT, this
week, Walter w. Slack, president OF the
Springfield Charlestown association, was
elected vice-president of the league. The
question of umpires was taken up and
their selection was left to the secretary.
1t was also decided that the manager OF
each team in the league shall send to the
league secretary the names OF players rs
fast as they are signed. Springfield fans
are looking forward toward the opening
of the season with much interest and none
of them seems to be doing any worrying
about the chances Of their team.
Hank" Shea of Concord, n. H., vet
eran diamond digger, has been chosen to
manage the Bellows Falls team. Shea is
an old New England Lacquer who figured
in the doings of the Northern league some
years ago and was afterward connected
with the Hinsdale, n. H., Bluebirds. 1t
is possible that he will cover the initial
sack for the Paper-makers. Among the
new candidates for place on the Bellows
Falls nine are W. }. Murphy of South
Boston, hard hitting outfelder, and Bud
Riley, third baseman who was for two
seasons with the Lowell New England
league team and last year played with
Woonsocket, X. |.

PLENTY OF HITTING.
Vermont Academy Trimmed Loca
Schoolboys 20 to 10 Wednesday.

At the end of the third inning of the
baseball game between Vermont academy
and Brattleboro high school on the fair
ground Wednesday afternoon, spectators
began to interest themselves in speculat-
Ing on the size of the score the visitors
would amass. 1t was then IA to l., and
the official scorer was begging for Bur-
roughs adding machine. However, the
weak ones began to rally at this point.
They (the local schoolboys) cut the acad-
emy swatters off with one run in the first
of the fourth, and then got at Dunlap for
four hits to which may be added a pass
and three infeld errors in accounting for
the six runs that crossed the plate. There
was only one bad inning after that. In
the fifth the visitors found Hall for five
bingles and four men scored, two of them
on wild throw by Messer to Waite.
The score of the last six innings was to
6 in favor of Brattleboro, which, with the
aforementioned IA to |, makes the final
result 20 to 10.
The game was free hitting contest,
with honors about equally divided, Hall
being touched up for II swats and Dun
lap for IS. Four whacks by the visitors
in the initial inning disconnected the home
players somewhat and they did not re-
cover until too late to hope for victory.
The infeld, however, showed improve
ment over its previous work. In the
third Ellis, at first, was relieved by Tay-
lor, whose place at second was taken by
Whittemore The latter is diminutive
youngster but possesses more baseball
intelligence than anyone else on the team
He took all that was coming his way in
the field, and in three times up drew one
pass and connected for well-placed single.
Gray and Denning gobbled outfield flies
in fine style, the latter making running
catch that elected applause. There was
considerable numskull navigation OF bases
by Brattleboro, at least three runs being
ost on this account. The score:

LOST TO GREENFIELD.
Local Schoolboys Couldn't Do Much
With Franklin County Pitcher.

Brattleboro high school lost to Green
field high at Greenfield Saturday after
noon by a score of II to |. The Vermont
Youngsters showed improvement over
their form of the previous Saturday but
were unable to find kaulback at oppor-
tune times. Thompson, who started in
to pitch for the visitors, wrenched his
ankle in the third inning and was obliged
to retire, Hall going from first to the
mound, Ellis from left to first and Thayer
into left in place of Ellis. Waite and
TAYLOR did good work in the infeld but
Wheeler at short failed to accept chance.

ing to the official score allowed but two
hits. Cain played an excellent game
