WHY A SAVINGS BANK
GROWS
(From the Bradford opinion.)

The semi-annual statement Of the La
noble County Savings Bank will be found
in another part of this issue This bank
is said to be he largest bank in village
OF the size of HYDE Park in the world.
This is a distinction but the greater dis
tirction is that it is absolutely safe and
that it looks out for Vermont invest
ments that Vermonters' money may help
build up Vermont. It's business policy
has given the public confidence in this in
slitutiOn so that it draws deposits from
all parts of he state.
Our Bradford contemporary
hits the nail squarely on the head
and gives to the Hyde Park Bank
a measure of praise to which it is
legitimately entitled when it says
that the peculiar thing for which
the HYDE Park Bank deserves dis
tinction is that 1T IS ABSOLUTE
LY SAFE AND THAT IT LOOKS OUT
FOR VERMONT INVESTMENTS THAT
THERMOMETERS MONEY MAY HELP
BUILD UP VERMONT, AND THAT
IT'S BUSINESS POLICY HAS GIVEN
TO THE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN
THE INSTITUTION so THAT IT
DRAWS DEPOSITS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE STATE"
Any Bank which can truthtully
say, what the Hyde Park Bank
is able to state without qualif-
cation, that during the panics of
19O7-O8 and of 1914 it declined
no application from any YER
mont borrower, if the note offer
ed came within the law, is enti-
tied to the respect, confidence,
goodwill and support of YER
monters everywhere.
The Hyde Park Bank pays four
per cent, compounded semi-an-
nually without action upon the
part of the depositor, and pays
all taxes whatever the size of the
deposit may be.
Banking by mail is now re-
garded as entirely safe. More
than five million dollars have
been paid out and received by
the Hyde Park Savings Bank
since January 1, 1910 Tor an
average of over one million dol
lars per year)-without the loss
of a single penny.
Send your money by personal
or bank check, express, registered
letter or postal or express money
order, and you will receive your
bank pass book or a receipt by
first mail.

sets Of this bank and how in

CUBAN PLAYER LOST
SWEETHEART WHEN HE
FAILED TO HIT .29O

Washington, March 3-Jacinto
Del Calvo is q broken hearted young
man. A recent letter from. the little
Cuban outf1elder, who is wintering in
Havana, Cuba, contained the inter
esting statement that his girl refused
to marry him upon his return home
at the end of the season, all because
he did not hit over .290 last year.
That certainly is tough luck for the
little Cuban ball player All through
the season he kept close tab on his
base hits and up to the last few
weeks he was well above the re-
quired mark, but fell into a slump
during the flag end and, returned
home down In the mouth.
This is the most peculiar event
that has happened in baseball in re-
cent years. Never before has a ball
player been turned down by. the girl
he loves, and who loves him, mere
ly because he could not waIlop the
ball to her desires.
When Calvo left his home at
Havana last spring to join the Los
Angeles club in spring training his
little sweetheart promised to marry
him at the close of the season pro-
viding he had a batting average of
.290 when he returned home-but
the worst is yet to come, he hit but
a little over $50 in the Northwestern
league, and his inspiration absolute
ly refused to listen to his statements
regarding the hitting and now Calvo
is keeping his feet warm by his own
fireplace and does not share the
warmth with what could have been
his Wife.
The Cuban persuaded her to ac-
cept his Pacific Coast league batting
average, but she said nothing doing
so it is up to Calvo to wait another
season before winning his fair
senorita.

did little to break.

ball with Binghamton in 1892, and
batted .s73 for that club, then in the
Eastern League. In 1893 he broke in
to the main show with Brooklyn and
New York, but was returned to Bing-
hamton the next season. He Joined
the Orioles in 1894, and remained
there until 1899, when he was with
Brooklyn for four seasons In 1903
he went over to the American League
with the Yankees. KeeIer remained

Birthday of Pat
Sweeney, Once Noted
Galway Fighter

I
A lightweight boxer who gave the
fans of fifteen years ago a lot Of high
class entertainment was Patsy Swee-
ney, who was born in Galway, Ireland,
thirty-six years ago today, March g.,
1879. Pat emigrated to America at a
tender age and was about eighteen
when he took to the profession in
which so many Hibernians have ex-
celIed. Sweeney's first important bouts
were with Billy Gardiner, with whom
he fought two draws in 1897. By
knocking out Bob Armstrong in the
second round, defeating Billy Gardi-
ner, and boxing draw with Kid
Lavigne, then lightweight champion,
the young Irishman broke into the
lfmeleight in 1898. Marty McCue, now
a member of the New York legislature
and Kid Broad, the Cornish light
weight, were among his victims in
1893.
Sweeney went along without a de-
feat being registered against him until
1900, when he was matched to fight
Dial Hawkins in Hartford. Hawkins,
"a Californian, who now runs a. road
house and training camp near New
York, proved almost as much of a
surprise to the fans fthe Connecticut
capital as did Young Corbett when he
fought Terry McGovern there a little
later. Dial was ferocious little fight
err, and in his left pew he packed a
punch that has seldom been surpassed
for effectiveness. The blow apparently
travelled only a few inches, but when it
landed it was case of 1t'goods night
for his opponent. Hawkins. pulled this
punch in the second round of his fight
with Sweeney, and the Galway boy
took a, nice little nap.
After his first defeat Sweeney was
matched with George McFadden. Ell
bows was then a near-champion and
one of the greatest defensive boxers in

Hawkins in 7th round at San Fran

was then aspiring to the lightweight
honorss held by Kid Lavigne, and had
just fought a 2O-round draw with the
sturdy. Saginaw Kid. Hawkins, San
Francisco lad, was rough tough
fighter who had whipped Joe Cans,
Kid Mcfarland and other good men.
The fans who filled Woodland Pavilion
expected to see a frst-class rookus,
and they did. In the first chapter Dial
landed a blow that came near ending
the bout then and there, and odds OF
I to were offered on the Native Son,
with nobody anxious to get aboard.
In the End round Erne came on sniI-
ing, and from that time on he had the
thing in his own hands. Two terrible
punches in the 7th sent Dal to the
land of nod, and he didn't come back
for several minutes.
