HOT STRUGGLE ON FOR 1916 AUTO
RACING CHAMPION

Chicago, July 25-Anybody's cham
pionship with at least four rival racers
looking in hard at the trophy is the
way the struggle for the 1916 Automo-
bile race driver championship sizes ny
from the latest standing announced by
the Contest Board of the American
Automobile Association.
Though Dario Resta leads Ralph De
Palma by $50 points, according to the
rating after the 150-mile dash at
Omaha, another big win by De Palma
would cut capers with the standing
Eddie Rickenbacher while 900 points
behind DE Palma is by no means de-
spised contender. and Ralph milford
is yet in a position to upset too VEN
turesome forecasting.
In fact the struggle for the 1910
championship is the hottest in the his
tory of the racing game. 1t is not a
runaway for Resta though he does
lead by comfortable margin. The
trophy has always been coveted by the
speed kings, but the fact that The r.
f. Goodrich Company has hung up
$4,000 in bonus prizes to be appor-
toned among the first three drivers,
regardless of what tires they use, has
undoubtedly put more fire into the
rivalry.
As a consequence the 1916 automo-
bile racing game is developing more
speed than many drivers thought was
in racing car.
The 150-mile race at Omaha was
the sixth event chosen by the Contest
Board to count in determining the 1916
racing champion.

VACATION PLAYGROUND.
Another Week of Splendid Recreation
Work on Summer Street.

Work on Summer Street.
The Summer Street playground was
under the able supervision last week
of Mrs. Herbert W. Blodgett and Miss
Helen Stevens, and much interest
was taken in the new games and
stories. The story-hour has now
come to be a regular feature with
some of the groups each morning.
Stories were told by Miss Cameron,
Mrs. Ralph Howes and Mrs. Blodgett.
Although the regular activities were
suspended for the Fourth of July, the
swings were in use all the day, and
in the evening some Of the children
put off their fireworks there.
The basketball ground is marked
out now and the regular game is now
played under competent direction.
A double tennis court is also in read
mess and may be used on request,
outside Of the regular playground
hours, by applying to Nathan Kicker
who has charge of the net.
This week the activities of the play
ground are under the leadership of
Miss Mable Houghton, a recent grad
uate of the normal school, who is
very enthusiastic and full Of new and
practical ideas. She is interested in
getting hold of the individual chill
dren and helping develop each one in
the best way. On Monday IS new
players were enrolled. Let every one
invite the children who have not
heard of the playground.
The best news of all is that the
same kind of play under able super
vision is to be started at the Portland
Street playground. All the residents
of the east side of the Passumpsic
are invited to join in the new play
ground. There will be swings. bask-
etball, tennis, beanbags, ring-toes,
quoits and circel games, and the good
old games we all like the best. 1t is
hoped that most of the games will be
ready on Monday, July 18th. The
regular hours are ell a. m. every
week day. All come!

Hired Lawyer After Settling.

The party who fired the bullet
through the window of the Avenue
House tower on the night of July Sd
has been apprehended. According to
Proprietor Palmer's story, by a series
of elimination and deductions that
would read like a chapter of Sher-
lock Holmes, the blame was eventual
~ attached to William Duval, who
lives in a block opposite the Avenue
House. When confronted with the
facts as they were finally deduced
Duval offered to settle the damages
to the amountof seven dollars, which
offer was accepted and the matter
closed.
But some of Mr. DuvalIs friends
told him that he should have con-
suited a lawyer, although the circum-
stances were against him, it was
pointed out that possibly some other
person might have been the one to
accidently put in a loaded shot
So, acting on advice, he hired a
lawyer, who, according to Mr.. Palm
er, came to see him. Then in COM
pany with Duval all went to see Chief
Finlay about the matter.
After hearing what the legal man
had to say about what a mistake had
been made and that without doubt
the blame should be attached on some
person other than his client, the chic
of the department said that all he
knew about it was, that Mr.. DuVal
had paid over seven dollars in settle
ment but that was as far as he got.
The man of law was leaving, that was
one thing Mr. DuvaI had failed to tell
him.

the Haverhill, Mass, youth who was
shot in the stomach at Montpelier
Junction the evening of June 20,

and his condition was more favorable
the last few days.
The body was Immediately removed
to the Volholm undertaking rooms on
East State street on orders from
States Attorney Fred E. Gleason and
an autopsy was performed this after
noon by DR.. Bingham H. Stone, state

which may help the authorities trace
the murderer.
The states attorney also decided to
