denced by the fine showing which F. A. |

atre, upon learning that Saturday and
Sunday games were to be played in Chi
rago. endeavored to secure an electri-
cal score board, but found that the sup
DIV was exhausted Three separate re- .
ports of the games will probably be re-
,eiyed inning by inning in Barre, even |
though fandom must dispense with the ,
electric score board, which depicts each |
,lav. Perhaps for the reason that New l
England is out of the championship race,
here is A noticeable decrease In world S J
,eries interest this year in Barre, al /
.hough the war undoubtedly has some Z
hing to do with this condition. ID

nto the woods to search for her children, a
yhom she feared had been lost, and that n
he cries and screams attributed to her
" the four Barre sportsmen were merely a
houting, as she called frequently while 7
ookinq for her children in the hope that o
hev would be located the sooner Self y
destruction was far from her mind, the b
goman says, although she agrees that o
he hunters detained her and seem to 6
ave handled her rather roughly by
trapping her up in coat when she
sked to be left alone. In characteriz
NJ the hunters story as false, Mrs.
Iuazzoni also says that apparently they !

lied to her before boarding their car
