First Home Game in Glover
League Went to Keene
High School
INFIELD ERRORS
PUNCHED WITH HITS
Score Was to / - For Five Innings
Haskell Kept Visitors Away from
Plate-Creditabl Fielding in Spite
of Brisk Wind.


Brattleboro high lost its first game
in the new Clover league by being de
feated by Keene high on the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon by score
of to L. The local intield punched
all its errors in the sixth and eighth
innings, and these with one hit in the
sixth and two in the eighth produced
the four runs. Brattleboro's lone run
was made in the second when Hamilton
doubled, advanced on an error by
o Conner and scored on Stockwell 5
single to right.
For five innings Haskell kept the
visitors away from the plate. In the
fifth the bases were filled withlonly
one out, but Haskell forced Staples to
pop to Kaine and O'Connor was
thrown out at first, kaine to Angler.
In the sixth came the trouble. Ham
ilton lost Goodnow's grounder and
Kaine lost Hall s slow roller, both err.
rors being due in part to the miserable
ground. Russell singled to center and
Adams worked in an error on the throw
in, two runs scoring. Carr sacrificed
Russell along, but Haskell put on steam
and famed Stanton and Kibbee.
Plumb made a desperate effort to
tie the score. He opened the seventh
with a hard single and stole second.
Hamilton famed. Angler singled to
right and Plumb, on a close decision,
was called out at the plate. Angler
took second on the throw to the plate,
| but Adams famed.
| To make things certain Keene added
| two more runs in the first of the
eighth. Goodnow was safe on Plumb 5
Ipoor throw to first Hall singled. Rus
sell slammed one to center, filing the
bases Haskell tried to catch Hall
mapping at second and on repeated
throws there finally threw to center
\ field, Goodnow scoring and the other
runners advancing. Carr sent fly to
right and Vinton fell in catching it
aud Hall scored.
Vinton singled in the eighth and
Montgomery went in to run for him

out on strikes for the final out of that

EA SoN T. we snow some Oh the 1T2S1oE
a reasons for the growing demand for
DE- - Firestone Tires and Tubes. This
demand increased our output last year
alone 1870. This demand brought to US
500 more dealers last year. This demand,
because of inbuilt Service, has made US
grow into the largest organization Of tire
specialists in America.
Nothing but Mileage, Mileage at the
lowest cost plus every feature of real serv-
ice, would have done this.
And nothing short of Firestone quantity
and EQUALITY of materials can possibly deliv-
er this mileage and riding service.
You need that extra layer Of fabric in the
Firestone-4 plies instead of in the small
size plies in the 5-ineh Firestone, for
instance, instead Of only 6 in the ordinary.
You need that cushion stock in the Fire
stone. There is none of it in ordinary
tires. Yet it is impossible to build a full
service tire, without o cushion layer under
the breaker strip. You must have it to pre-
vent bruising and overstaining the fabric.
81 Firestone Tires have never been built
down to price. You will find everything
IN Firestone that ought to &c there. Fire.

Stowe Old Home Week, &c

Stowe had it's fifteenth annual Old
Home Week celebration last week, begin
ming Wednesday and cont inuing through
the following Sunday. There was 'some.
thing doing" all the time and it is pro.
nounced the best celebration yet.
A special feature this year was the
presence Friday of Gov Ga ties, who gave
a practical address to large audience.
Stowe is live and progressive town; it
has a bunch of active and stirring citi-
zens who act as a unite when matters
pertaining to the towns interest come
up, and that is the secret of the success
of the annual Old Home gatherings.
There isn't a handsomer and more
thrifty town in the State than Stowe
and as a summer resort town it is a
leader in that direction. With Lake
Mansfield, Mount Mansfield, Bingham
Falls, Moss Glen Falls, Smugglers' Notch
and it's beautiful drives DER mountains
and through valleys Stowe has attrac-
tions that draw summer visitors from
far and near. Its scenic beauty is unsur-
passed and Stowe ranks among the lead
ing summer resorts of New England.

Agriculture show amazing crop condi

States is harvesting the prodigal boun-

billion bushels, the crop of corn has
not often been surpassed, oats equal pre-

are normal or up to the bumper mark.
