When man rolls 10 strings of can

rolled only 1,04S.
Dutch Leonard has arrived il
Boston under suspension from the Re,
Sox because he is not in condition an,
has spilled about two columns o
charges and insinuations against Pres
Iident Lannin. He declares that Lanni1
is running the team and that Carriga1
has nothing to say; that Wood was fin
ed half a month s pay for allowing
batter to make q. hit in a pinch an
that Foster is being worked to deaf
on the slab and has a lame arm but
afraid to ask for time to get right 70
fear Lannin will lay him off withou
pay. Leonard who led the America
league pitchers last season, is down
right sore and is willing everyon
should know it.

GODDARD TRACK
TEAM MAKES REPLY
Says Protest as to Eligibility of Con
testants Was Made in Character
istic Brattleboro Spirit.

The Barre Times yesterday afternoon
published the following communication
from the track team of Goddard semi
nary, Barre, concerning the protest of the
Brattleboro high school and other schools
as to the eligibility of members of the
seminary team to participate in the inter
scholastic meet in Burlington last Satur-
day:
The Editor Of The Times:
As you printed the clipping from The
Brattleboro RefoImer in regard to the
eligibility of the members of the Goddard
track team, | trust YOU will print this
communication. When the Goddard team,
Il strong, appeared on Centennial field
for the trials, CONSERVATION reigned
among the other contestants and when
our boys captured three Of the four places
in the first trial talk of average and pro-
fessionalism began. When the trials We're
over everyone knew that Goddard would
win the cup. During the noon hour the
protests were drawn up and presented to
the university committee. An effort was
made to have the cup withheld until the
protests were decided. The college author
tiles, however, treated us at all times very
courteously. The medals were presented
/ in Commons hall directly after supper and
at the close, President Benton in very
happy speech presented Captain Whitcomb
the cup amid great applause from the uni
versity boys.
! As we felt secure in the eligibility OF
1.-THE members of our team we decided to
take no action in the matter But when
we read last night that the protests had
been made public in the characteristic
i Brattleboro spirit and had been placed
through The Times, in the homes of the
greater part of Goddard s constituency
the boys decided to take some action
Each boy whose age is protested wrote al
once to the town clerk in his home town
II asking for a certificate of his age.
As for professionalism, it Is claimed thai
some of our boys have played baseball fol
, money. The eligibility rules of the tract
meet say nothing on this point and schoo
boys in Vermont are as free to play base
ball for money as are all college men il
the Vermont colleges. So we pay no at
tention whatever to protests on thi
, ground.

WORLD PITCHING MARK
FOR URBAN FABER

A world pitching record was claimed
recently for Urban Faber of the Chi
cago Americans as a result Of his per
Torrance in defeating the Washington
club to / in Chicago. According to
baseball experts, Faber pitched only
siXty-seven balls during the nine in
nings, five less than the record estab-
lished by Christy Mathewson of the
New York Nationals several years ago
Frank \. Saffell, who operates an cleo
tric scoreboard in Washington, tele-
graphed that the board recorded all
strikes and balls and that his record
showing that Faber pitched fifty strikes
and seventeen balls was correct. In
the record Saffell counted as strikes
any ball that was hit by the batter.
In the third and fifth innings Faber
retired six men on six pitched balls,
each batter hitting the first ball for an
out

SCHEME DEFEATED
Bellows Falls Directors Kill Plan to
Form New Circuit of
Four Clubs

Another attempt to bring about some
combination by which Greenfield and
Brattleboro could play league ball and
have the arrangement satisfactory to four
different teams within a reasonable mile
age limit has fallen through
Greenfield, dissatisfied with the Three-H
league proposition, was willing to do al
most anything that Brattleboro promoters
would agree to and Brattleboro and Green
field together tackled yesterday a dying
gasp attempt to land some other towns
Naturally Keene and Bellows Falls were
the two desired
keene, now that Abe Berger is more in
terested IN hotel in Leominster than he
IS IN promoting baseball, it was felt would
be easy to influence, for Berger is willing
to quit and it was Berger who agreed to
put team IN the Twin State league as
now comprlsed-keene, Newport, Clare
mont and Bellows Falls The new owners
of the Keene franchise could repudiate, if
they desired, Berger's agreement with the
other teams, and join with Greenfield,
| Brattleboro and Bellows Falls.
1 But Bellows Falls has a directorate of
men who announced that they had made
an agreement with three other towns and
| proposed to stick to that agreement Sec
rotary Louis ID. Rowand of the Bellows
rails directors said this morning over the
telephone that majority of the directors
OF the ASSOCIATION would not vote to make
any change IN the makeup OF the league
Claremont and Newport had treated Bel
lows Falls right in the matter of the
league and Bellows Falls would stick with
them to the last
Thus dies what is probably the last at
tempt to get Brattleboro into league OF
Twin State calibre this season.

BIC TENNIS YEAR
is PREDICTED
With No Davis Cup Series Com
petition Will Be Keen.
PLAYERS ON CUP LIMITS.
Those Possessing TWO Legs of Tro-
phies Will Attempt to Settle Claim
on All Three-Maurice Mclaughlin
Will Defend His Honors.

Will Defend His Honors.
The tennis world is confronted with
two momentous facts this year which
render predictions easy on one hand,
while on the other there exists a doubt.
The war has eliminated any possibility
of the Davis cup matches, so it can
be safely presumed that the foremost
players in the country will participate
in more tournaments than if they were
forced to train for the international
competitions. With this condition it is
only necessary to glance over the eoun-
try where the largest tournaments are
held to discover which ones will at
tract the western players Maurice II.
Mclaughlin, r. Lindley Murray, Will
liam Johnston, or such players of lesser
ability as Ellis Fottrell, Clarence Crit
fin and John Strachan.
When a player has won two legs on a
challenge cup, valuable because of the
many names engraved upon it, he Is
apt to consider pointing for the place
where that tournament is held with the
idea in mind OF attempting so carry
the prize away. At Lake Forest, just
outside of Chicago, the western cham
pionships are held, usually late in July,
ANA Mclaughlin has won two legs on
a challenge trophy there that the On
wentsil club donated to the Western
Tennis association. The past two years
he has been unable to participate in
this tournament because of the inter
national matches, but this year on his
way east to New York it is fair to pre-
dict that he will stop off in Chicago
and attempt to have his name placed
for the third and last time ON the time
honored trophy.
Leaving Chicago Mclaughlin could
arrive i'm good time to defend his title
at Longwood for the western cham
pionship and the Longwood tourna-
ments are generally held during success
sive weeks in July After Longwood
the New York state championship is
held at Bay Ridge, but Mclaughlin
will likely rest that week and enter
the Southampton tournament in prep
aration for the national championship
i'm New York Mclaughlin is training
at this present moment for the nationa
title which he lost to r. n. Williams
last year at Newport. No other tourna
Mcnt will interfere with the California
Comets" plans rs concerns his ply
Steal and mental efficiency, which ht
knows fun we'll must be at the highes
standard during the progress of thu

EDDIE PLANK, ST. LOUIS FEDS VETERAN
PITCHER.

PITCHER.
hard throwing with the left arm has a
bad effect on the heart and drives the
southpaws out of the game.
The reason attributed to Plank's long
stay i'll the big show is that he started
later in life than most players, being
fully developed at the time.
Until Ed was sixteen he had never
seen baseball score. At twenty he
went to college at Gettysburg and in
his first year received trial with the
college baseball team. He had a good
record as "rah-rah" twirler, and the
coach of the team, Frank Foreman,
the famous pitcher Of the old Baltt-
more Orioles, tipped off his friend, Con-
ME Mack, that he had captured the
greatest southpaw extant and Connie
Immediately telegraphed an offer to
Plank, which was accepted. That was
back in 1901, when Ed was twenty-six
years old.
Plank made good with the Athletics
from the start. Last fall he was let
out by Connie Mack, and he signed up
with the st. Louis Feds So far this
reason he has shown that he has lost
none of his cunning.
