NOTES..

Harry Davis and Clifton Cravens
were the arbitrato tors and they dis
charged their duties in a manner
that was emjnent]y satisfactory.
Being thoroughly familiar with the
rules and regulations and being
naturally of a fair and impartial
disposition, they umpired in a man
ner that was heartily approved of
by the spectators.
Each side pulled off a double play
during the game and some rapid
work was necessary in each instance.
The first double came in the fifth
inning when Forrest Angstman
scooped up a grounder and threw the
ball home, forcing a man at the plate.
Jess Angstman was catching and he
quickly sent the sphere down
to first, retiring the batter. The
other one came in the seventh inning
when Robert Berg pulled down a
hot liner and retired a base runner
on first by throwing the ball to his
brother, who covered the initial
sack. Z
Ralph Angstman. the 14-year-old
center fielder of the visitors, covered
his position like a veteran and &C.
cepted three chances without a slip.
The game was extremely interest
ing and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the large crowd of fans present.. i
The Angstmans put up a good
game and although defeated they
clearly demonstrated that they were
possessed of considerable ability.
The Colts presented rather for
midable front, as they had some
clever bail players in their line up
and they acquitted themselves with
credit.

Christine Elizabeth Ericsson and he
and his family moved to Wyanett in
the year of 1874 and there he resided

long be cherished by those who knew
him best.

these two teams battled for supre-

close and exciting contest, but the
locals had a shade the better of the

was the real feature Of the game but
numerous spectators gave it as their
opinion that the umpiring featured.

Colts and performed in a creditable
manner. Dewart was at the re-
ceiving end and caught a snappy
game. Jess Angtman was on the
mound for the visitors the first four
innings and he was in winning form.
In the fifth inning he went behind
the bat, as Lawrence Angstman,
who had been catching, had one
finger severely injured. Al. Angst

nected with pitching and finished
the game in a manner that indicated
previous experience.
In the first inning the visitors
were BANKED and the Colts regis

the second inning both sides were
retired scoreless. In the third inning

enthusiasm when they pushed three

Small retail merchants sometimes
become discouraged by the competition
in newspaper space of larger stores.
They imagine that people do not read the
smaller notices, says the Brattleboro Re-
former. Any newspaper man can give
incidents out of his personal experience
showing the contrary. A man with a
very small space indeed often tells his
story in such pertinent, business-like
conversational way, that readers turn
to his little ad. just as a financial
operator turns to the stock market.
1t does not take a gift for saying
smart things to make this kind of i'm
preston. 1t is simply the idea of writ
ing as you talk, saying the things in
advertising that you would say to a
customer if you had him before the
counter.
A merchant who desires to try ad-
vertising in a small way should not
try to say too much in that space. Just
a few words each time, about some
one particular thing is most effective.

lie gardens constitute one of the city's

entertaining of tourists is one of Bos-
