Brattleboro would see fiji to get back
INTO the game, but residents Of tina,

opinion as to whether it could be in

man will say that Brattleboro is out OF
baseball and another will Just as en-
phatically state that the town is ready
for it.
Fans here arc wondering just what

over, as the story evidently originated
with the man who managed Claremont
last season, or with Jack Zeller. the

tanned to pay players fancy salaries.
BrattlebOro, therefore, is in position
fearlessly to take stand without dan
ger of being charged with being :,
welsher. Brattleboro took her medicine
of experience and paid the doctor s
bills. Some other doctors have not
been paid, but all the players and all
the managers got all that was coming
to them.
The obvious reply to this is that
the players gave what they were paid
to g1ve-their serviees-and were en-
titled to their pay. This is true. The
raw edge is that the Twin State has
always paid salaries far in excess of
what the players were worth, based on
their ability to earn as ball players.
rms applies to managers as well. Some
OF the best players III recent years on
BfattleborO teams have been college
boys who did not begin to draw the
pay that has-beens who couldn t throw
to second base from short rightfield
drew. 1t was claimed that the old
timers were worth their paw because
they steadied the boys.
1t is proposed that North Adams and
Pittstield, Mass, cities in which pro
motors of baseball have always lost
money in the last % years, should be
included IN the circuit which Brattle-
boro, Bellows Falls, Greenfield and
Northampton are asked to join.
Besides salaries, travelling expenses
compose the big item that goes to
make up the weekly deficit In Twin
state days of two years ago it was
CLAIMED that the long jump to North
ampton and TO Newport was what
put the expense account on the blink
North Adams and Pittsfeld. being
harder of access from Bellows Falls or
Brattleboro than either of the other
towns mentioned, hardly would reduce
travelling expenses.

being revived in France. The women
particularly are taking to walking,
even though they may have ample
means to indulge in motoring, both
fer the healthful exercises and the
economy. The new and more COM
modlous styles of women's skirts
make walking easier, and there is A
certain amount of rusticfty about the
new fashions that does not go well
with The motor car, and it is suggested
that this latter point has been an as
thetic reason for the revival of walk
ing.
Every morning the popular alleys
Of the Bots de Boulogne are turned
into training quarters by these new
adopts of pedestrfanism. The reduced
number of motor ears flying around
Paris and the consequent diminuition
of the dust nuisance ON the suburban
roads has made walking to Saint
Cloud and other delightful spots more
comfortable.
