Four Burned to Death.

AS SAD an accident as we have
heard Of in q good many DAYS han
pened near Zortman last Friday
morning when four Of the j. G. Curd
iamily lost their lives III a fire. AS
near as we can learn there were nine
people IN the house at the time the
IRE started. aud five Of these escaped
with their lives. although most of
them badly burned, ii not .Jtili I he
0i!Slh OF the fire is a mystery. but it
is supposed Mr.. Curd arose early and
started Il tire in tile Kitchen. which
was the middle room to three room
house, and laid down until the house
was warm, and when they were
awakened by the fire the roof was
calling in.
Mr. Curd assisted his wife in get
ting out. at he same time carving
one OF the little ones out, and instead
of leaving her he returned for the
other and thong htlessly carried the
little one back into the burning build
ing, and when found by neiehbors q
short time later he was lying across
the bed with Il child under each arm
His brother-ill- law. Elmer Holt. was
the other victim, and it is thought
that he never got out of the building,
and those getting out have no idea
where he was sleeping prior to the
fire. Mr.. and Mrs. Tatum. who were
occupying another room in the build
ing made their way out and with the
assistance of Mrs. Curd they broke
a window and rescued their two chill
dren from the flames.
The Curd family are among the old
settlers here and are highly respected
and the news of the untimely death
Of three members Of the family will
be sad indeed. The bereaved widow
has the sympathy of the people of
Malta and the community in which
she resided. i'm her sorrow.

Echoes of High School Game.

There will be no prettier catches
made at Island park this season than
the one turned in by Rellihan in the
last inning by which he robbed Baker
of a double at least.
1t is remarkable how much the use
of lawn mover on the diamond has
increased the speed or the play. But
when a ball hits the dirt anywhere
on the ground the dust flies as if it had
struck on a chalkmark.
Monteville wasted none of his
strength on preliminary pitching mo-
tions. But he put lot of speed be-
hind his fast ball and he had pretty
breaking drop that had sharp out
curve Brattleboro batsmen were
afraid of his speed, apparently.
The umpire made one or two griev-
Gus mistakes, but fortunately they did
not materially affect the result of the
game. He called Ray Angler out at
second when he should have been safe
and what should have been perfect
third strike delivered by Monteville he
called ball and knew it, but too late
Like all other umpifes he apologies
and adds the time honored remark that
il he 'tnever missed one he would not
be in Brattleboro He would like to
add that he appreciates the attitude oil
the players of both schools, who over
looked his shortcomings more grace
fully than they did those of their owl
| teammates

Hits-Fair Sized Crowd Present.

The Brattleboro Athletics, known to
fame III the past as the Company
baSebel team, hammered the delivery
of James Delaney the tobe catcher of
the Brattleboro Twin State league
team, who o1iiciated as pitcher for the
Fort drummer Mills team Saturday af-
ternoon, to all parts of the Island
Park ball field, and in consequence Of
L hits and despite eight errors won
by a score of to 6. The frequency
with which the gentle non-breakablc
delivery of Catcher Delaney was found
effectively by the sluggers of the Ath-
letics told the story.
The Fort Dummer team took such adj
Vantages as came its way, such as
scoring the first two runs on an error,
three wild pitches, a pass, a stolen
base and clean single. A wild pitch
contributed to their third run and
their fourth had "A pair of errors and
a double steal as contributing factors.
\ double and pair of errors { a fresh
pair accounted for their last two runs.
The fielding features were confined
to the all-round work OF Bernard Dun
levy, erstwhile member of the high
school team, who undertook TO show
an older brother how second base
should be played. and who by virtue Of
having more and harder chances in the
field, which he accepted without error,
and by tieing him in the matter Of
runs and hits got away with the hon
ors. A fair sized crowd was present.

Betting in Braves Home Town Is
Against Stallings' Champions.

BOSTON, October S.-Berting here
today is 100 to 40 that the Athletics
would win the series. with few takers
The Boston fans rave and shout over
the achievement of the Braves winning
the National League pennant, but in
this coming clash with the Mackmen
they are bit dubious as to the out
come.
The perfect machine of the Athletics,
their experience in former worlds
series, and Big Chief Bender and
veteran Eddie Plank form combina-
tions that cause those who are reck-
less with their money to ponder deep
ly as to the wisdom of backing the
Braves Many small bets have been
laid such as so to 35 that the Athle-
tics will win. but few were made today
on the 100 to 40 ratio. It's a good bet
at that, this 100 to 40, for there is no
telling what may transpire in this
short series, and to take a flyer is a
sporting chance.
One wager was made of $1,000 to
5000 that the Braves would win one of
the first four games. There has not
been q bet recorded that Connolly will
outhit Baker, despite George Stallings
alleged remarks that he would do SO.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.

The last thing George Burns did in the
playing season OF 1914 was to make a
base hit. His seasons average skated
pretty close to the 300 mark.

Ietics are playing in Philadelphia teams
of former players will reproduce what
happens in the real games. II anybody
IS able to duplicate a home run at Will
IT might be a good Idea for some team
TO sign him az a regular.
In this national matter of a team being
stopped after winning three straight PEN
nants the standard bearers of the city
Of Boston have been persistentiy prom
inent. Boston nabbed the Chicagos in
1883, after they had won three straight !:
Boston laid the Orioles low In 1897 and
limited them to three streamers in a
row; it was Boston which stepped In
this year of grace and balked the
Giants of q fourth consecutive cham
pionship.

Connie adorn the bench during the
