The German blockade of the British
Isles has been in effect for over a
week with the result that, so far as
known, two Norwegian, one French
and eight British steamers have been

with the surprisingly small loss of
four lives. On the other side of the
account it is reported that two Ger.

third had been hit and possibly sunk
by French destroyer Besides the
vessels which fell victims to the sub

EVENTS ON DIAMOND
Local Team Defeated A Speedy
Bunch From Dorchester As a
Fourth Of July Entertainment.

The st. Johnsbury base ball team
did it's share toward making it a
glorious Fourth by trouncing the
speedy Standish Club of Dorchester.
This was no easy task but the locals
were there in the pinches and took
advantage of every opportunity to
slip a man across the plate. The IL
nal score read to 2.
King was opposed to Davidson in
the box and the latter had decidedly
the better of the argument. He al
lowed but five hits against nine
gathered off the visiting slab man and
struck out seven. Each man issued
pass.
This game furnished the first real
opportunity to size up the local team
under fire and they certainly proved
their mettle and the right to repre-
sent st. Johnsbury on the diamond.
Dorchester did their scoring in the
third and fifth. In the third King
reached second on a wild heave by
Connors advanced when Ward was
thrown out at first and trotted home
on Hoeffling's hit to left. In the
fifth Crooke slammed a double into
left. King helped him along with a
single and he crossed the pan with
Dorchester S last run.
The locals postponed their scoring
until the fourth inning. Jack David
son, the first up, famed. Witt got a
life, but was caught at third on Sui
hvan's grounder. Sullivan reached
second on the play and went to third
when Stockemer dropped the throw
which was meant to head of Shea.
A pretty double steal by Shea and
Sullivan landed the latter home.
There was some bowling about the
decision at the plate but Racette
ruled him safe.
In the sixth the real fun started.
Hoernle hit to left. Jack Davidson
was safe in Wards wild throw and
Witt was passed, filling the sacks.
An error by Ward let in two runs but
Witt was caught between third and
home. Tommy Davidson started the
next session with a single by second
Moore and Hoernle were out on foul
flies, but Jack Davidson connected
for a single to left and then Witt
What the latter did to wide one was
a shame. He had already been in
tentiOnally passed once and would
not stand for it again but reached out
after the first one pitched. 1t was
tagged two bases and the two David
sons completed the circuit, bringing
the tally up to five. The score
