Clancy has had especially hard luck

scrimmage shortly after the Maryland

which kept him out the remainder Of
the season.
He also played on the varsity basket

close Of the football season having re-
covered from his injury he came out
for basketball and during the second
day Of practice ne was again injured.
He went 20 Baltimore 10 consult a
specialist where he was told that the
collar bone was again broken.
This hard luck disheartened Clancy
for a time and he talked Of leaving col

remain. lie would be especially missed
in baseball Last season Clancy, who
Is a southpaw, was rated as one of the
best twirlers I'm college ranks and pitch
ed fine ball for Delaware. Several big
league managers looked him over dur
ing the season, and said he showed signs
Of making a star. Coach Baumgartner
likes the work Of Clancy in all branches

him TO remain for baseball as there is
not another dependable pitcher in col

CANNEFAX Great ATHLETE
DESPITE Loss OF Lee

The loss Of a leg doesn't keep Bob
CanefaX OF st. Louis one Of the best
three-cushion billiard players in Amer
lea, from being an all-around athlete.
Canefax disregards the fact that he
has a mechanical leg and goes out for
his daily training ths same as if ne had
both of them
And he does it well, too. Canefax can
run a hundred yards in a tri1e over
70 seconds, which is mighty good for
anyone not actively engaged in sprint
ing.
Every morning CanefaX goes through
a system of exercises, many OF them
very strenuous. This is the only way
he can keep i'm shape for the nervous
tension Of q hard game Of biNards.
Canefax lost his les several years
ago. He was struck in the ankle with
a baseball and an infection developed
which made amputation imperative.

AUTOS IN SUNDAY MISHAPS.
Machines Driven by George r. Tucker
and Fred Lawrence of Townshend in
Different Accidents.

Automobiles owned and driven by
Fred Lawrence of Townshend were in
separate accidents Sunday on the
West Dummerston road, both going
north and both heading toward West
River In neither case did serious in
jury result to occupants, but both ears
were considerably damaged.
In Mr.. fuckers car were Mr.. Tuck
err, Mrs. E. NJ. Applin, Mrs. Addison
Kidder and Mr.. and Mrs. Casper n.
Moran, all of Brattleboro. Just north of
the covered bridge above West Dunn
merston village Mr.. Tucker pulled out
and passed another car and soon after
wards a part of the steering apparatus
broke and the ear started towards the
river bank. Being a good driver, Mr..
Tucker shut off the power and put on
the brakes so quickly that the machine
went but few feet, but before it
stopped the end of fence rail went
through the windshield and Mr.. Moran
received scratch on his forehead. He
had. a narrow escape QInaooliol 200,
In Mr.. Lawrence s ear were Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence, and her mother, Mrs.
Howard of Jamaica, and J. ID. Chaplin of
Jamaica. They were driving near the
Brattleboro town line and turned out
on meeting another car. Because of the
glare of the lights Mr.. Lawrence turned
,out further than he intended and the
machine started over the bank and
ran into tree. The broken glass of
the Windshield cut Mrs. Lawrence on
one wrist. She was brought to DR.. A. /
| Miller IS where two or three stitches
were taken to close the wound.

TO RELIEVE FREIGHT TIE-UP.
Brattleboro Freight Shippers and Rail-
road Men to Cooperate in Sending
Capacity Carloads

During meeting Of shippers and
railroad officials in the board of trade
rooms Wednesday afternoon the vital
necessity of transportation in winning
the war was emphasized. 1t was the
sentiment that every concern shipping
freight must do its full duty in helping
the railroads move the vast volume of
business and war necessities.
According to statements made by Of
fcials present, the railroads of this coun-
try are carrying an amount of freight
at the present time greater than that
of 1915 which is equal TO the entire
freight of Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Austria Hungary, Italy, Switzer-
land and Russia. The United states
war board has cut down car shortage
nearly 40 per cent. One thousand Bos.
ton & Maine ears have been taken from
that road and diverted to the West,
where they are badly needed.
This means that in New England
greater volume of business must be
moved with big shortage of equipment.
1t was said that the railroads are sue
ceeding in doing it.
Freight service has necessarily suf-
fered said f. j. Guthrie, superintend-
cnt of the New London division of the
Central Vermont railroad. The roads
no longer attempt to run express serv-
ice for their freight. Freight trains are
no longer run at a 40 or 80 mile an
hour rate, for that means more fuel
consumption and quicker depreciation
of equipment, and fuel and rolling
stock must be conserved. Railroads are
no longer sending out ears that are not
1oo1a1 RI oi1hin that tOn-
mage must be increased.
The shippers and committeeman at
the meeting agreed that it was their
patriotic duty to help the railroads, and
Station Agent Samuel AShby will draw
up schedule of days upon which freight
will be accepted for certain points.
After this has been approved by the
transportation committee it will be
printed and distributed to the shippers.
Changes may have to be made from time
to time, and they will be whenever nee
essary. The railroads agreed to coop
crate to the limit to give Brattleboro
shippers the best possible service.
Under the new schedule business con-
Germs will hold their freight for certain
destinations until the day set. This will
relieve congestion at the freight house
an important item because of labor
shortage. Cars can be loaded quickly,
and being loaded to cubic capacity they
will be sent along the route avoiding
transfers as much as possible.
Cars loaded to full capacity will elm
mate re-handling at transfer points
with the resulting benefit of rapid
transit, less breakage and pilfering.
The New York, New Haven & Hart
ford railroad has announced that after
Oct. ! it will have certain dates for
receiving goods for various destinations.
No less than carload lots will be accept
ed on scheduled days.
