pear in the public gaze as ''grafters'; that
they were made to appear as men who have
grabbed all the money obtainable from
baseball and given nothing in return Mr.
Moran went over in considerable detail
what was outlined in one of the recent
Reformer articles concerning the income
for both association and park management
from the games.
Taking 10 cents for every 35-cent admis-
sion paid meant, he said, that the larger
the crowd the larger were the receipts
for both the association and the park man
agement He cited the instance of the first
year of league baseball when the associa-
ton would not take the risk Of engaging a
special train from Keene for the deciding
game and when he personally guaranteed
the 1928 necessary and 600 fans came
down. Mr. Moran pointed out that while
that boosted the receipts of the park man
agement it likewise boosted just twice as
much the receipts of the association, for
that year the receipts were divided on the
basis Of two-thirds to the baseball associa-
ton and one third to the park In order
to get that increase the park management
took all the risk and then was blamed be-
cause the management made so much mon
ey. To a certain extent this has obtained

None Of Present Twin State
Teams Satisfied with
the Layout
EXPENSE ACCOUNT
CAUSES MISGIVINGS
Chat with M. j. Moran About Island
Park - Management Would Prefer
Not to Have Park Tied Up to Base
ball League, and Gives Reasons.

A spirit of unrest and uncertainty per-
vades the various places in the old and new
Twin State league Not one of the teams
in the new Twin State league is satisfied
with the layout. They are all afraid of the
expense account and rightly so, for the
railroad fares for ! / men from Northanp-
ton to Newport and return, to say nothing
of two meals for each and the chance of
being forced to remain over night mean
that there must be a larger attendance at
a game than has sometimes been the case
at either of those places in order to pay
the bills. Besides that, Northampton has
a team in another league and that means
divided interest.
Bellows Falls is bitter against Abe Der
ger, the Keene owner, claiming that Ber-
ger was responsible for forcing Bellows
Falls out of the new league. Keene, in de
Tending it's position, declares that Green
field would not consider a four-team league
that counted Northampton out and Bellows
Falls would not consider a similar league
that counted Northampton in. Then Keene
charges that if Bellows Falls had not lost
both Labor day games Keene might have
won the 1914 pennant. Brattleboro might
have done the same thing if the team had
won more games, 80 there is no proof in
that argument and it is bringing up dead
and gone antiques, holding a post morten
that can do no good and does some harm.
Abe Berger still hopes that Bellows
Falls or Brattleboro or Claremont viii en-
ter the league with Keene and Newport
and let the teams to the south look out foI
themselves. In other words, Berger claims
he voted for the present makeup of the
league in order to have one and because
it was the only one offered to which any
four Of the teams would agree.

Not Dependent on Baseball.

Then Mr. Moran made the statement,
viii have no hard feelings if there is no
baseball played at the park. He said:
''The management will make more money
without baseball than with it. This we
have believed from the first and my part
ner, Mr.. Fox, was always against baseball
as not so good paying proposition as
other forms of amusement,
Last year, he said, the park received an
offer of $3.50 for the use of the park for
one week, but it could not be arranged be
cause there were three league games sched
uled for that week There has not been a
year when the park could not have been
rented for a week for $500 if it had not
been tied up to baseball. He pointed out
that one big week like that with occasional
rentals for day or possibly two week
stands in a season would net the manage
ment what it has received from baseball
annually and leave the rest of the season
open for other rentals.
Mr. Moran said that he had offered to
contribute to the baseball fund the same
amount he had contributed each year,
which is more than many contributors
give, and have the team go to the fair
grounds and play. This, he felt, indicated
that he had no hard feelings against the
local team or its management He would
like to see baseball in Brattleboro, but as
matters now stand it is utterly impossible
to say what will be done with the pavilion
Meanwhile Brattleboro fans are viewing
the situation calmly but with the very evi
| dent determination to have baseball Of
some sort even if it is not with college
stars and antique ex-minor leaguers as the
active material on the field.

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

Is the average quantity in healthy
adult, but il is the quality of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because Scott s
Emulsion is rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality Of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.

LONDON, Nov. 19,,--'In northern
India, where concerted attempts
have been made by members of an
anti-British association, having its
headquarters in the United States, to
disturb the peace of the country, to
tamper with the troops and to upset

speeding India and whether these
reports were Of enemy country or

LAS regards the general condition Of
India" Mr.. Chamberlain added. my in
formation is that II is substantially sat

had their origin in movements outside of
India or in an effort Of a small group

According to the reports the Lahore af

recently have been brought to an issue

prosecutions being based upon charges of
enarchy, mutiny and characterization.
The native press. while speaking of the
