TWIN STATE STANDING.
SUNDAY BASEBALL
TALK GETS QUIETUS
Directors at Bellows Falls Called OFF
Game on Notice that Laws Would
Be Enforced.
Especial to The Reformer)

BELLOWS FALLS, July II.
Baseball-Sunday baseball-has been the
chief topic of conversation in about 30
44-100 per cent of the homes of Bellows
Falls since Friday Not that Bellows Falls
has seen a Sunday game, but it came
mighty near it yesterday-about as near as
the fellow who asked the girl for a kiss.
He might have had it if she had said
Yes
Ever since the season started the direc-
tors of the local association of the Twin
State league have beerr-hombarded with
requests for Sunday baseball 1t has been
tried out in Center Rutland and other
parts of the state and the working fans
OF Bellows Falls who do not see game
except when they lose half days pay to
do so have been hot after the directors.
Intending to see what could be done with
it, the directors caused several prominent
citizens to be interviewed Almost without
exception those seen were in favor Of sun
day baseball for two, or three Sundays
neutral in the matter, 1t was not the in
tention Of the directors to make a regular
thing of holding Sunday games
| When it was seen how the idea was re
ceived by many men the directors sched-
uled a game with Newport and plans We're
made to have the game yesterday after
noon. Opposition developed and since
then Sunday ball has had something on
the other famous Sunday, our old friend
Billy.
| The directors were notified Friday even
ing that if the game WAS played the law
in regard to Sunday baseball would be
enforced. The state law makes any per
son playing ball or attending a game or
Sunday liable to a 81 fine. All day Sat
urday the directors, individually and col
lectively, by word of mouth and b,
phone, were advised which course to tax,
in regard to starting the game. Those il
favor of the game were hot to have i
start and to see what would develop ant
those in opposition were just as warm il
their opinions. Late Saturday evening tn
directors voted not to have the game.
This decision did not cool off the discus
Isions to any extent and all day yesterda
the topic was uppermost in many mind
and one minister spoke about it in hi
pulpit yesterday.
The game which was scheduled receives
lenough free advertising to tax the capacit
lof the stands and aside from disappointn
a good number of fans the receipts woul
have helped the association considerably

club could have gotten a team together
for tomorrow afternoon no one of the
other three teams could provide nine
men. This being the case it was decided
not to undertake the track events until a
ball game could be played as an additional
attraction
All but the Athletics, the team now
leading the league, will be strengthened
this week and new faces viii be seen in
the lineups Saturday afternoon.
1t has been arranged for the Fort Dunn
mer and Wheel club teams to have the
use of the fair grounds diamond Tuesday
and Thursday evenings for practice, and
the Athletics and the K of c. teams will
use the grounds Wednesday and Friday
Evenings.

Sporting Notes.

Alexander of the Phillies has now
won nine straight games.
Crowell pitched the last two innings
against the ST. Louis Browns Saturday
and allowed one hit and no runs and
famed one.
Davis, in his second start for the
Braves this season, held st. Louis to
three hits. The Harvard strong man
has something besides mere strength.
Hcinie Zimmerman of the Cubs has
hit safely 2l times in his last So ap-
pcaranecs at the plate and has Jumped
from 10th place among the batsmen of
the old league to 18th.
Norman S. Taber of Oxford univer-
sity, England, former Brown univer-
slty star miller, won the mile handicap
run at Celtic park, New York, Satur
day in LII 80, the fastest mile ever
run on that track.
The Keene team of the Twin State
league is yelling for help. Exc John
son of Maine, with Newport last year,
is to join this week to play the out
field. Ferrin, who led the team in bat
ting last season, is to join this week
and Vernon, former Amherst pitcher,
is to report next week.
Birmingham, ex manager of the
Cleveland team, has sued Charles w
Somcrs, owner of the team, for $780,
| 600. Birmingham alleges that his IRON
| clad contract calls for $4,000 q year
salary for 1914, 1915 and 1916, and
| that he received pay only to June l,
| 1915, and was fired from the team be
| sides.
Darlington, in % games for Brown
this season, hit for .391. Dixie, in 81
| games, hit for .325 and was tied with
| Murray of his team for second place.
Murray played in 20 games. Johnston
in 10 games, had an average of an
even 300. Rube' Cram hit for 2SS

GRASPING At The SHADOW

No man-especially If he is mar
rted-would deny woman any right
she demands. Take the earth and
give us peace, but why does woman
long for the ballot?
When all Is said and done, is not
the selection of the butcher i'm
portant to the home than the election
of a mayor; Is not the employment of
the da1ryman a far more important
event in the life of the children than
the appointment of q postmaster; is
not the selection of books for the
family library more important than
voting bonds for Jail and court house?
Why does woman lay aside the i'm
portant things in life? Why leave the
substance and grasp at the shadow?
Be it said to the credit of woman
hood that it Is not, as a rule, the
m who rocks the cradle that
wants to cast the ballot; 1t is not
the mother who teaches her children
to say Now l lay me down to Sleep
that harangues the populace; it is not
the daughter who hopes t reign az
queen over a happy home that longs
for the uniform of the suffragette. It
Is, as a rule, the woman who despises
% hone, neglects her children and
scorns motherhood that leads parades
and smashes windows.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst of
a controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded az
riculture with Indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny OF commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter Of a century we
have fought many a duel with prog.
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on a guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point q pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions Of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port of Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace. but peace, like charity,
should begin at home.

INSPIRATION Of
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair, you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on q new power-that is the inspira-
ton of the soil. You are overpowered
by the grandeur and m~agnificence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with it's beauty and expand
your Imagination with its power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of com
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite u
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul-
ture where nature is %parading in her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take a retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush
ing liberia, for example-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations %favor1te
vegetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as a result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot
ton-nature's capitalist-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost Of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
it is also we'll to remember that there
is a market side to agriculture that
does not reflect it's hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.
