BASE BALL BUNTS

The statement reached The Demo
crat today that the Bennington base
ball people are holding up the at
tempt to form a four-town league
to consist of Bennington, North
Adams, Adams and Hoosick Falls.
No intimation has been received
as to whether Bennington is peeved
or what the trouble is that prevents
them from making some announce
ment. A meeting of the Benningf on
club promoters was held Tuesday
night in that city. The Adams peo-
pie are ready to fall in line and orga-
nize team just as soon as the word
is received from Bennington. Hoo
sick Falls Democrat
The paragraph from the Hoosick
Falls Democrat surely has the old
familiar ring; it is the same old bluff
and buster so rampant in January
but which always withers and fades
before the tuplips stick their
heads out of the ground. Hoosick
Falls is great base ball town--dur-
ing the hockey season-but there
hasn't been real exhibition of the
national game in that burg for so
long that most of the inhabitants
have forgotten how the game is play
ed. The present editor of the Demo
crat should take down the files of his
own paper and post himself upon
two facts that Hoosick Falls can't
play baseball without Bennington
and that Bennington can play base
ball without Hoosick Falls. When
Hoosick Falls had a baseball team it
was the enthusiasm and rivalry be,
tween the Vermont and New York
towns and the gate receipts from
Bennington spectators that supported
the club. There are a large number
of Bennington fans who have always
longed for a return of former condi
tons. There are also many loyal
followerers OF the game in Benning-
ton who wifi oppose any move in that
direction. If the New Workers wish
to get into league with Bennington
as one of the clubs they should cease
knocking.

mystery of the theft of thousands Of
dollars worth of expensive hosiery

certain suspects among the women
employees wore shoes that seemed
several sizes too large for them when
they went to work in the morning
and that the same shoes seemed to
fit them very snugly when they quit
work in the evening.
What's that got to do with the
theft?" asked the wondering Justice.
why, they watch their chance and
pinch several pairs of stockings
when the foreman isn't looking, and
before they leave for home, put on as
many pairs as the shoes will accom-
modate," replied the detective.
Mary Sczabelick had on ten pains
of stockings, the police charge. when
she was arrested as she left the mill.
Evidence was obtained against other
suspects, and the police have advised
the owners of the mill. which has
1900 employees. to hire ankle inspec-
tors.
