SHEA OF CHAMPS
ANNOUNCES FIVE
Jack Carolan and 'Skip'' Mccarthy
for Battery Mep-Chief Eastman
s a Valuable Acquisition.

Manager David Shea of the. North
ampton baseball team comes forth with
an announcement of. five men he has
signed for the Champs Most or
them are men who were with the Ben
nington team of the Northern Tri-
State league last year ana one or two
of whom were seen in action either
last year or the year before in the
Twin State league.
Jack Carolan, who first appeared in
this locality as first baseman for the
orth Adams, Mass, team three years
ago and during the last two seasons
was with bennington, has been signed.
The report SAYS he is TO catch, but
Carolan s real position is first base, al
though he has played a fairly credit
able game at second. He has been
known as substitute catcher, but has
not done an work behind the bat in
three years at least. When everything
breaks right Carolan is a good man.
but he packs one of the SWEETEST
grouches at al times and it escapes
bounds easily
Skip Mccarthy, who was with
the Pittsfeld independent team two
wears ago and is a corking good catch
er with a good whip and tricky and
fast on the bases, is another who has
been signed. ''Skipn is reported to
have been signed as "a pitcher and
outfielder, but his forte is at the other
end of the battery work.
Chief Eastman, the Idian, who has
been signed, played with North Adams
three ears ago, then with Waterbury
Of the Eastern association and finally
With North Adams again that same
year because he objected to pitching
his share of the games and working
al AIRY old place in the infield the rest
oi the time
Eastman is not the owner of any
vast assortment Of curves, but he has a
good head, uses it, has control and
nerve. Aside from that he can WELD
the willow murderously at times and
can put up u creditable performance
at any spot in the infield. He is really
valuable man to have around.
Then there is Frank Carroll, an in
| fielder with the Bennington team last
year, who was touted as ripe for tn,
big minor leagues. but who stuck tc
Pennington, even after it was reported
| he had signed with the Pittsfeld team
in the Eastern association. Carroll :
osition is at short. He layed on tn
Pacific coast in 1910 and 1911.
Arie Egan Of Albany has beer
lsigned as member Of the twirlinG
staff. Conley, Keegan and Connoll,
are expected back and it is said tina
possibly Goodrich of Amherst win b'
again at first base, but this is no
probable.

STYLES OF BYGoNE DAYS.
Unique Meeting of Woman's Club with
Century of Dress for Subject.

The woman s club met ut Mrs. An
ME +. Amidon s Tuesday afternoon.
1t was unique gathering. Century
of Dress was the subject under discus
sion. Fashion was the response to the
roll call. Mrs Maude K Britton read
an interesting paper on the fashions OF
our grandmothers, thus showing that
even back in Puritan days they, too,
had some freakish styles. Mrs. Annie
lIlden, who was dressed IN costume
of plum coloredi satin, with earrings,
mitts, comb and all the accessories OF
that time of dress, read from bound
book of Cody s ladies magazines pub
lished in 1856. This was the style OF
dress our mothers wore. The style of
children's clothes at that time were
far more graceful and boys of four and
five years of ages wore dresses. Miss
Minnie NJ Todd read paper on the
fashions of today. Miss Todd always
gathers real facts for her papers. The
principal subject, Fashion. had fine
| setting in this large parlor, like Coi-
onial rooms, with old china, silver,
| and pewter that had been handed down
| in this family on both sides for
century or more, brought forth Tor this
| occasion. and what added most to this
picture was Il woman OF duNdHceu aye
whose eye shown as bright and who
seemed to enjoy all that was said or
done as well the younger people.
Mrs. Estey, Mrs. Amidon S mother, had
lived to see all these different styles.
| Mrs Charles Holland was dressed in
style of 30 years ago. The president,
| Mrs. Davis, wore her mother 5 wed
ding dress of green silk plaid. Miss
| Adelia Barrows wore dress that her
mother Mrs Warren Barrows, wore at
the dedication of the Cheshire car
| shops in Keene. Mrs. Fred Leonard
wore very becoming dress of green
silk with overdress of black lace, low
! neck with velvet and locket and the
| hair rolled low The whole was the
style of her mother : wedding costume.
| Mrs. Lizzie Stevens also was dressed
| in the style of long ago. Mrs. Amidon,
the hostess, was dressed in black with
black lace cap. fiehu fastened with
cameo pin. \ repast was served on the
ancient china. Election cake was eaten

Sporting Notes.

In some quarters there appears to be a
belief that some outside interests have
caused The Reformer TO publish the in
formation that there was an unannounced
change in the men who wrestled here last
week. This is erroneous. The Reformer
obtained the information and published
it without being coached or advised by
anyone. There is no intention the
part of this paper or any of its represen-
tatives to injure any sport Rather this
paper prefers to boom them, but only
when the play i fair alike for the partici-
