Barre A. C. Defeated Berlin, N.
H., 3 to 2, Yesterday
IN A LIVELY EXHIBITION
Berry Was Strong in the Box, and He
Was Given Some Good Support
Jack Davidson Was the Star
of the Game.

After the shrubbery had been clipped
; from the enclosure screening the mark
ers dedicated to the second game of the
series yesterday between the Barre and
Berlin, n. H., baseball team, it revealed
an inscription, which proclaimed a to 2
local conquest, which will be archived in
the Barre club's.rooms.
The fielding of the Barre bunch reveals
the reasons for the New Hampshirites
being unable to bring in base runners
from spots when the least semblance Of
an error or hit meant one or two runs,
on six different occasions. Ralph Berry,
the one-time Norwich university star
ball tosser, who is now attending the
Dog river institutions summer school,
won his second game since having hts
appearance embelished with a green and
white baseball suit. "Judie" Munson,
the old st. Michael college pitcher, was
sent to the firing line for the paper town
team. "Judie" existed the entire nine

The batting Of Jack Davidson was the
shining feature Of the game. The for
mer Italian nfelder assailed the serv-
ings of Manson four times. and these
four chances were redeemed with good
clean hits. He also brought in two tai
lies aided by speedy base running. On
the squared circuit the nimbleness of his
underpinnings marked two purloined
bases to his credit. The Johnston broth
ers, we'll known in west hill baseball cir
ces, showed up well with the willow,
each connecting for two hits. Young
Alex. Mckenzie was also a powerful
factor in the batting list The young
ster rammed out a slashing drive that
rolled over the brink of the Addison
street retaining wall, but through slow
base-running the Barre center fielder
only reached the third station.
Bill Stuart, the first sacker Of the
local team, placed his outfit in the tally
column in the opening inning. Mute
flied out to center. Davidson burned one
over second base. w. Johnston popped
to the first baseman. Old man Johnston
then drove sizzling liner down first
base line for two bases With men on
second and third, Stuart placed two

left, Bracket taking second base. Both

The Proof Is in Bryan Almost at
Your Door.
The public statement of a Bryan
citizen is in itself strong proof for
Bryan people, but confirmation
strengthens the evidence.
Here is a Bryan citizen who testi.
fed years ago that Doan's Kidney
Pills relieved sick kidneys and now
states the cure was permanent. Can
any sufferer from kidney ills ask bet.
ter proof? You can investigate. The
case is right at home.
p. j. Vytopil, COS Moseley Street,
Bryan, Texas, says my back ached
and | found it difficult to remain on
my feet for any length of time. At
night my rest was broken as the re-
suit of weak kidneys and l felt miser-
able. A short use of Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at EmmePs drug store,
cured me and | have had no kidney
trouble since. | am willing to let
others know of the merit of Doan's
Kidney Pills"
The above statement was given May
20, 1908, and when Mr.. Vytopil was
on December IS, 1911, he
said: Il confirm the statement l gave

ECONOMY AND SPOIlS.

President Taft has already urged upon
three Congresses the abolition OF the great
er part of the spoils system. TO be achieved
by putting not only postmasters, but COL
lectors Of internal revenue and customs,
surveyors OF customs and Land once
registers and receivers and other officials in
the classified service He would remove,
II given the support of ma jorities in both
houses OF Congress, all those opportunities
for spols and for the improper use or
patronage which his enemies untruthfuily
charge against his administration, while
they have consistently refused to assist
him to remove the opportunities. And in
doing this and lnstituting other reforms Of
administration he would save to the people
OF the United States 100000 the import
ance OF which may be the more readily
apprecia ted when IT is realized that the Re-
publicans OF the Senate do not dare reduce
the sugar duty because of the loss Of reve-
nue. involved. and that the Democrats In
the House did not dare to propose free wool
for the same reason. These. briefly out
lined. are the things for which President
Taft stands. and which his supporters will
point out during the remainder of the pre-
convention campaign. G. G.. II.
