Drilling Solid Granite To Secure Stream
of Water.
Il A we'll is being drilled at the quarries
for the Woodbury. Granite Co., whose
water supply at the place has always
been precarious. In about two weeks
an eight-inch hole has been made ITO
| feet down through solid granite. 1t is
confidently expected that water will be
found. Albert Knanf of Providence, r.
H., is here in charge of the work.
Mrs. Ralph Tower and daughter of
Hinsdale, n. H., are guests at Clayton
w. Potter's.
Miss Grace M. Brooks, who is can
vassing the town of Norwich for the
Vermont Bible society, spoke at the
Congregational church Sunday morning
and at the Methodist church in the even
] ing.
I The Whitcomb high school baseball
| team shut out the South Royalton high
school team II to 0 Saturday afternoon.
The game was surprise as the visitors
had recently defeated Hartford high
with apparent ease and were supposed
TO be a strong team. Their hitting was
limited to three singles, and il Forrest
Aikens, the Bethel pitcher, or his field
ers, by any mischance let man reach
second base he usually caught him off
the base. This occurred twice in one
inning. The base running of the visit
ors was very poor, but this was en-
phasized by the great throwing to bases
of Aikens and Williamson. The latter
also caught hard foul flies repeatedly.
The Bethel infield showed much improve
ment since the game of week ago, but
the outfeld had little to do. The South
Royalton outfeld seemed the strongest
part of the team, the local score, though
large, being cut down by several good
catches in that section. When it is said
that Aikens was never better and that
George Goodrich had an off day the Sc
cret is out. Three hits off one and IL off
the other is contrast that no amount
of good fielding could have overcome.
1t was also broadly limited by friends
of the visiting team that oyerconfidence
was a prominent factor in their defeat.
There was no overconfidence here and
the locals put in lot of good practice
under Coach w. V. Lawless since the
game with Woodstock. Captain Myron
Rogers welded the bat effectively, as
did Wilcox, Aikens. and Lavelle, who
played ut short. Local fans are now
confident that the North Windsor county
pennant will come to Bethel.
A large congregation attended Christ |
church yesterday morning and heard an
able sermon by Rev. Charles c. Wilson
of Burlington, a native Of Bethel and !
son of Mrs. M. l.. Wilson.
