Sees Small Chance for Brook
Ign to Win " Larry Cheney
Climbs the Mound.
@sPITTERs" EASY FOR sox

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON.

BOSTON. Mass. Oct. s-The dope
must be amended for today's combat be-
tween the Red Sox and Dodgers. In
stead OF figuring the score as we figured
IL before his cruel war started, you
must take the figures of the Brooklyn
club against Babe Ruth and of the Red
sox against Larry Cheney.
This 10 because Uncle wilbert an
nounces that he will probably send
Cheney against the Red Sox In the Sec
ond game of the series. which means
mat Cheney will start. 60 about six
innings. and that Pfeffer will finish UP.
1t once was said that the American
League consisted OF Ban johnson. the
moist ball. and the Wabash railroad.
About twice or three times a we&
American League batters face moist
call pitchers. Just why Robinson
chooses Cheney to work against fellows
who have slammed this kind OF pitching
all their lives Is an uncertainty. He
looks like pretty fair wet ball pitcher
in the National League. but on the sa-
Iva circuit his shoots seen rather feeble.
However. with one defeat. Robby is
rather up against II. He does not want
to work Coombs because he knows that
Coombs Will be hit rather freely. and
work against his team IL the Red Sox
are hitting the ball high up and far
away. Therefore, he Is saving Coombs
TO open In Brooklyn, and plans to
shoot Cheney at the Red sox. which
10 much the same as shooting him at
sunrise.
The Red Sox. rather breathless and
shocked by the rude manner in which
the Dodgers mauled Shore in the final
session OF the first game, spent "A Ros-
ton Sabbath. which is considerable Sab
bath. The narrow escape from defeat
that they had served to do them good.
They are inclined to think that part
carelessness and overconfidence, and
that the rest was due to the fact that
II, that Brooklyn bunch gets started II
becomes dangerous.
u 10 safe to predict. that there will
mot be any more careless pitching on
the part OF the Red Sox. even IL the
score is IL to 0. They heard several
remarks on the subject after they re.
covered their breath Saturday. and
they heard lot moro today.
The dope still seems to be that the
Red SoX will win four out OF Ave
games the one game that Brooklyn
being that OF coombs against NAYS
tomorrow in Brooklyn.
Boston: in spite Of its narrow es-
the superior team. It had 20 per
cent the better OF the defensive work
and in confidence and ability to come
back after a disastrous innin- There
panic toward the end OF the battle
and also II Is beyond doubt that
when Shore exploded the team did
not blow up behind him. With the
Sox seemed Just as confident as ever

HUGHES.

Like a lion loosed from the cage
Charles E. Hughes sprang into the
political arena the moment the nomina'
ton set him free. He did not wait ar
instant to see what any other party OF
candidate might do. He telegraphed
his acceptance at once, but even then
he could say, 81 have resigned my
judicial office" No "watchful wait
ing" about that.
The force and fire in the sharp SEN
fences of his telegram Of acceptance
show how he had chafed under the
silence to which his position compelled
him. His going forth was like strong
man out of his chamber, as he leaped to
say stand for the firm and unhinching
maintenance of all the rights of Ameri-
can citizens on land and sea. There is
both the Lusitania and Mexico in that
sentence. No mere shouter, he con-
tinues, II neither impugn motives nor
underestimate difficulties. But it is
most regrettably true that in our for
eign relations we nave suffered meal
culably from the weak and vaccilating
course which has been taken with regard
to Mexico-a course lamentably wrong
with regard to both our rights and our
duties. We interfered without con-
sistency, and while seeking to dictate
when we were not concerned, we utterly
failed to appreciate and discharge our
plain duty to our own citizens.
That he is not afraid to strike hard,
direct blows, dignifed, but merciless,
is shown by his arraignment of Bryan
diplomacy.

VERY BACKWARD SEASON.

The continued wet weather has de-
layed the farmers who are trying to
get in their seed. The county agent finds
some grain land not sown and much
corn land implanted, When the weather
becomes settled the bounteous supply
of moisture in the soil should boom
these crops.
The hay crop is bound to be large.
Some say it is the largest in years.
Already fields of alfalfa are being laid
out and heavy yields are reported. 1t
might be well to warn the farmers that
the time to cut alfalfa is-not when it
blossoms but when the shoots start
from the crown.

GLEE CLUB ENTERTAINMENT.

The Glee Club gave its last entertain
ment of the year at New Haven Satur-
day night, June 10th before Il crowded
house in spite Of the hard rain of the
afternoon and evening.
The program was much the same as
the one which met with such success
whenIpresented in the Middlebury Opera
House during Junior Week, The open
ing numbers were the Soldiers
Chorus" by the entire club and a solo
by Mr. Salisbury, followed by numbers
by the Quartet and Double Quartet
The second part Of the program con-
sisted Of the magical entertainment by
Mead, 'presdigitator, who delighted
the audience for half hour with his
feats of legerdemain and his of-hand
witticisms,
The program concluded with solo, the
quartet, and the color song of the club,
The song hit Of the evening was made
by Reynolds in his Rain Song"
The personnel Of the club will be
much the same next year, and all indi-
cations point toward an even more sue
cessfu season.

ROOSEVELT.

The first honor at Chicago was won
by Theodore Roosevelt. Not since
Washington put aside third term has
candidate for Presidential honors done
a more patriotic act than Mr.. Roose-
velt's refusal of the Progressive nomi-
nation. The enthusiasm for him was
genuine and widespread. There was
more noise for him than for any other
candidate in either convention. Only
the greatest could keep his poise under
such circumstances. No one has done
so much to stir the country to sound
patriotism and true Americanism in the
present crisis as Mr.. Roosevelt has
done. The pep" in the Republican
party to-day is his work in no small
degree. He has created the platform
on which the opponents of Mr.. Wilson
must stand. After having done all this,
to step aside for a man who had not
been permitted to do a single thing
toward the restoration of the national
honor, was nobly heroic. Whatever
one may think of the Roosevelt of 1912,
the Roosevelt of 1916 is deserving of
the highest honor. Eat the outset of
the administration, the high RESPONSE
billties of our diplomatic intercourse
with foreign nations were subordinated
to a conception of partisan require
ments, and we presented to the world
humiliating spectacle of inaptitude. Be-
lated efforts have not availed to recover
the influence and prestige so unfortu-
nately sacrificed, and brave words have
been stripped of their force by indie
cision."
Again, as to Americanism and pa.
trlotism of the hyphenated variety,
language could not be clearer or more
forceful. 1t is no pro- German or pro-
Englishman either who could say, II
stand for an Americanism that knows
no Interior purpose; for patriotism

ADDISON CUONTY COURT

The case of Frank H. LaVoice ct al
VS. Henry Robbins, which was on trial
when our report closed last week, was
completed on Tuesday. The testimony
for the defendant was all put in on
Friday. Harry E. Palmer, who con-
Quoted the negotiations between Mr..
Robbins and the Plattsburg people and
j. Edward Alexander, ex.president of
the Eureka Vending Machine Company
and now a director in the American
News Vending Machine company of
New York City, were the principal wit
nesses for the defense and their evil
dence occupied the entire day Friday.
An hour and half was taken up Satur-
day forenoon in putting in rebuttal
testimony for the plaintiff and at 10
O'Clock recess was taken until clock
p. m. on Monday when the arguments
were begun.
Judge Button made che opening argu-
ment for the plaintiffs and was followed
for the defense by Judge Donoway.
On Tuesday forenoon R. E. Brown
closed the talking for the same side and
Attorney Boire from Plattsburg made
the closing plea for the plaintiffs.
Judge Miles gave the case to the Jury
at II 80 O'Clock and appointed Mr.. Ham
ilton of Bridport their foreman. They
were out only Is minutes and then came
in with a verdict for Mr.. Robbins mo
cause of action" which seemed to be
in accordance with the general expecta-
tion.
Another case was got going Tuesday
afternoon and has since been making
slow progress. 1t took all that after
noon to get jury, as the whole panel
of sc men was exhausted before the
jury was completed. The testimony
was begun Wednesday morning and is
largely documentary. The case is en-
titled The Vermont Box Company vs.
Wilbur E. Hanks, The company is a
Bristol corporation and Mr.. Hanks is
the junior assistant judge of the court
and resident of the same town. This
is land case and it is claimed that the
plaintiffs bought some 2700 acres of
timber land located in Hunt
ington and other towns and that surveys
make the tract so purchased to be
about 100 acres short of what was
bargained for, and suit is brought to
recover the value of the missing land.
Button and Sturtevent are counsel for
the company and Donoway and McCuen
are the attorneys for Judge Hanks.
The case will take up the rest of the
week. The jurors include most of the
men who set on the preceding case ow-
ng to the many challenges and excuses.
