Harris and Nelson Landed Big Trophy
for Dartmouth.

Fred H.. Harris of Brattleboro and his
partner, John G.. Nelson, representing
Dartmouth, won the doubles champion
ship of the New England Intercollegiate
Lawn Tennis association at Longwood
Friday by defeating tombstone and
Shumway, the Amherst team. The con-
test was started Thursday and stopped
by the rain in the third set. The score
was 20. rs, $40, 60, GA. This victory
gave Dartmouth permanently the trophy
for which the colleges of New England
have been struggling the past II years.
Each year the winner of the champion
ship was given one point, the runner-up
in singles half a point and the winners
in doubles one point. 1t was necessary
for Dartmouth to get eight points be-
fore being entitled to the cup, and the
victory of Harris and Nelson made
Dartmouth's standing Sh points. The
Boston Transcript, in closing its account
of the game Friday, said: 1T was Har-
ris's last chance for his college, as he
graduates this year, and his successful
efforts in bringing the trophy to Dart
mouth brought him many ~congratula-
tons. In addition to his work this
morning (Friday) his winning of the
singles championship two years previous
to the present match, piled up points for
Dartmouth"

The sporting editor of The Phoenix has

from a non-commissioned officer of the
Coast Artillery corps, Stationed at Fort

II take pleasure in sending you notice
of a very important boxing match which
is to take place at this fort June 10, at
4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Merrill A. Stark of Brattleboro will
clash with Kid Carrie of Philadelphia for
a finish fight. The boys are both in
they will score a Knockout. Kid Carrie
has "A great reputation as a ring gen
eral and has never faxed a fight or
struck a foul blow in his great career as
a pugilist. He is considered the best
man of his weight in his state. He mas
fought over so battles and has never lost
but six.
Merrill A. Stark claims to be a new
man at the game and says he never
saw a boxing glove until two years ago.
He says they don't raise them up in Yer
mont, anyhow. Whether his story is
true or not he is one of the cleverest
light weights that ever had a glove on.
He can hit a blow with either hand like
the kick of a steer, and Is as quick as
a weasel on his feet. Stark has scores of
admirers, and wins more at every bout.
Stark never boasts about himself and
never DULLES anyone else. Stark has
been asked If there are any more at
home like him. His reply was Yes. the

of Vermont drink spring water instead

be at the third pivot. George Burgess
will be short stop. Two men are under

Took the Measure Of Windsor High 1913
the Morning Of Memorial Day-Three
Double Plays.

Brattleboro high school had nc diff
Guilty in taking the measure of Windsor
high school Tuesday morning on the
Valley fair ground. The result was
never in doubt, after the first inning.
The local lads showed great improve
ment in batting against a pitcher who
had good curves and control and they
ran bases better than in any game this
season. Waite's errors at third were on
hard chances on difficult ground balls.
But for Wheeler's low throw to the
plate the visitors would have scored but
once. Messer and Denning excelled in
hitting for Brattleboro. The formers
drives were very timely, sending in five
scores. Waite made a fashy double
play unassisted, pulling down a high
liner and tagging a runner off third
base. Messer caught two high fouls
back in the crowd and kept the Windsor
boys close to the bases. Thompson
pitched steadily, and frightened up prop
erly when men were on bases. Lacy's
first base work was gilt-edged for
Windsor, and Martins three Dagger was
a feature, being a ground ball which
rolled far beyond the centre and out
fielders.

Thompson of Brattleboro was never
headed. Haskell of Brattleboro was close
to him in second place, but he knocked
over the last hurdle, and knowing that
he was disqualified did not finish. The
finish between Nichols and Olmstead
was so close that the judges
were not unanimous, two being
in favor of Nichols, who therefore
was awarded the place, and one in ia
