Everett Hall Had Wrist Broken
When Thrown From Motor

Cycle
Everett Hall is suffering from a
broken wrist which he received in a
motOrcycle-automob mix up,
while racing with Clayton Jay last
Thursday. The young men were
racing their motorcycles on the road
between here and st. Johnsbury and
suddenly came upon two automobiles
going each way. The auto going
down the road was driven by James
Lockwood of New Haven, Conn,
and the one going up by Miss Ger
trude Franklin of st. Johnsbury.
Coming together so quickly con-
fused Miss Franklin and she stop
ped her machine. This forced Hall
out of the road and he ran into
the fence. Nearly all his clothes
were torn of him in the collision.
Mrs. Mary Parker Robbins died at
the home of Mrs. Horace Aver in this
village last Thursday. The funeral
was held from the house Sunday af-

Fine Game on The Campus Satur-
day AfternOOn-Big Attendance
Saturday afternoon the local ball
team defeated the team from Little
ton by the score of z to 3. The
day was one of the best and a crowd
of about 1000 were on hand. Speare
was in the box for the home team
and struck out 10 men and passed
only L; Johnson who has done so
much against st. Johnsbury teams,
struck out only three men and pass
ed one. ST. Johnsbury scored one run
| in the first inning while Littleton
was scoreless. Again in the third inn
ing Conner crossed the plate. making
the score z to 1. In the first half
of the seventh inning the visitors
got a lead of one run. The local
team. however, thought this TO be
too much of a good thing and hit
Johnson for a total of four hits ard
five runs.
One of the features of the game
was a double. play from Scot5 to
Morrison to Connor. Both Barrows
and Johnson succeeded in getting a
tWo-bagger. Speare and Johnson
each made one wild pitch, Littleton
stole seven bases while st. Johns
bury stole onlyone. Both teams made
six errors, st. Johnsbury had seven
men left on bases and Littleton had
10.

Friday night the Y. M. G. A. beat
the T. A. c. by the score of 2 to 1.
One noticeable fact of the Y. M. G.
