HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL
Effort to Secure Services of Profes-
sional Coach,

}. Nlans that have been started can
/ q g I'd TO successful conclusion
the eata season will witness an en-
tirely l. LIN 'em in the conduct of
baseball 2se Bennington high
school, In pre- ears there has
been a lack of COZ ed action which
has not only been detrimental to the
success of the team in its games, but
which has also been productive of
other unsatisfactory results.
This year there is to be a change or
no high school baseball. The student
body has been informed by the school
authorities that it must break away
from the slipshod way of doing things
that has been altogether too evident
in the past or go out of business in
baseball.
In order that the school team may
open its season with some assurance
of carrying out its obligations, the
students realize that they must have
funds and the only means by which
financial backing can be secured is
through subscription. The campaign
will start tomorrow.
The students will attempt to raise
money for two purposes: To pay for
the services of a coach and to pay the
guarantees to visiting teams. Cable
Prindle of Williamstown, who mas had
considerable experience in coaching
school teams since he last appeared
with the Bennington professional club,
has agreed to act as coach. 1t is the
plan that Mr.. Prindle shall be in Ben
nington six afternoons a week, after
practice once begins, for the purpose
of developing the players. 1t is impos
sible at the present time to develop
school team so that it will have any
kind of a chance against opposing
mines without efficient coaching, All
other teams that come to Bennington
have had the benefit of coaching and
in order to make a creditable showing,
the school nine here must be similarly
trained.
Bennington has had little or no
baseball for several seasons and now
that the high school boys appear to
be making the right kind of effort to
accomplish something in the line OF ath
letics it is safe to presume that public
support will not be lacking. While
school boys are not so proficient as
professionals. the youngsters in some
respects, give us the better sport in
that the players are not goverened by
| financial considerations.
The team manager has already ar
ranged for a number OF games with
teams representing schools in this vi
cinity. The schedule is not yet com
pleted but the following dates are
| fixed:
April--Plttsford high school at
Plttsford.

HIS DOG RAN C'EER
Louis Russell of North Pownal Pleads
Guilty and Is Fined.

Oullly ana is flneu.
Louis Russell of North Pownal, who
was arrested Wednesday by County
Game Warden Edward s Higgins on
the charge of permitting a dog to run
deer, pleaded guilty in municipal
court. The statute requires fine Of
500 which was imposed by Judge Hoi-
den and the respondent was then
placed on probation. The negligence
to restrain his dog, however, cost
Russell S22.75.
Because of the deep snow in the
mountains large number of deer con.
gregated during the past winter in the
narrow valleys near the Massachusetts
line and the animals have been wor-
ried by dogs to a considerable extent.
AT least one deer was killed. Some Of
the dog owners live in Massachusetts
and this fact complicates the situation.
One of the canine nuisances Ias been
shot by deputy warden and more
are likely to suffer the same fate TN
less restrained by their owners.

A CLEAN BARBER SHOP
Some Facts That Should Be Known
BY BENNINGTON Men.

There is a great deal of talk going
about the village at present regarding
the sanitary condition of barbershops
and the skin diseases which are trans
mitted by the unsterilized tools of
thoughtless BARRIERS.
This appears an opportune time to
say something about the condition in
which have aimed to keep my shop
during the % years | have been in
business here.
Ever since opened the
Firth shop have done some
thing which | do not know of
any other shop in Bennington doing.
Every man who gets a shave from my
self or employees, has individual
laundered towels for his exclusive use.
BY contract with local laundry by
the year can use as many towels as
needed Consequently when man
has his barbering done in my place, he
knows that the towels used on him are
absolutely clean. Immediately upon
use every towel is thrown into the
laundry basket and sent back for new
/ laundering. This costs me several
dollars week more than the usual
method of squeezing the same towel
under a faucet and using it over and
over again to save laundry bills.
The result has been that to my
knowledge, never in the quarter CEN
tury of my business of barbering have
known of a skin disease which has
originated in or been transmitted
from my shop,
All of my instruments are constant
ly sterilized and the state sanitary
regulations in regard to conduct Of
barhershops are carefully observed.
In proof of this I offer the following
testimonial by the local health officer:
81 hereby certify that have made
myself familiar with the conduct of
the Firth barbershop and have found
that the shop is kept in a thoroughly
clean condition, that individual towels
are used for customers and all tools
and appliances kept in a constantly
sterili2ed condition.
Signed,
JOS NJ Ayres,
Health Ohieer

Washington, April 5.---Reports to
the department of justice indicate that
there is now no longer any doubt that
Felix DiaZ has landed in Mexico. Of
ficials have been informed that he is
at the head OF a considerable force in
the south of Mexico and has received
material aid through Guatemala. 1t is
the first official information of the rev
olutionary leaders whereabouts. A
proclamation in Diaz's favor along the
border between the United States and
Mexico is reported and a number of
his adherents there are under suryeil-
lance by the department agents.
Thus far there has been little def
mite information as to the movements
of Diaz or the source from which he
obtained arms and ammunition. II
has been fairly well established, Off.
cials say. that he received consider.
able financial aid in New York. One
of his agents recently was traced by
department agents to Canada and an.
other was said to have left recently
for Spain. 1t is considered possible
that Diaz may have armed his follow.
ers in Cuba. In this connection off.
cials recalled yesterday the sale about
year ago by the United States to
Cuba og quantity of old rifles.
Guatemalan officials repeatedly have
denied that their country was con.
cerned in any way in the Diaz move
ment and assert that it is neutral.

FL Paso, Tex, April 6-Villa, the
bandit chieftain, has completely disap-
peared. All reports as to his where
abouts, which come mainly from Mex
leans, are not much credited by army
officials here.
Apparently the American expedition
into Mexico has been temporarially
halted Tor the reason that further
extension without a better base OF
supplies would be dangerous.
Gen, Garcia, the representative Of
the Carranza government on the bor-
der, has expressed the opinion that the
American troops should be withdrawn
from Mexico. Garcias position is be-
lieved to coincide with wishes of the
Carranza government.
