Much of the work of identifying the
city cemeteries, Hope and Elmwood,
which has been under way since the snow
disappeared, was undone by careless mo-
florists Memorial day, according to the
superintendent and commissioners, who
have taken steps to ascertain who are
responsible for the bulk of the damage.
The use of automobiles in the two ceme-
teries is practice that is in disfavor
with many people at best but the au-
liberties have not seen fit to bar the
machines and those who are accustomed
to travel the cemetery avenues in motor
cars have been trusted to use good judg-
ment in directing their machines. On
Memorial day, however, the greensward
in both cemeteries was ruthlessly cor
rugated with heavy wheel tracks and in
notable instances flower beds were al
most wantonly torn up or otherwise
ruined by cars. The commissioners are
strongly disposed to put taboo on mo-
toring in the cemeteries and after their
is completed it is possible
that a measure of this sort may be
adopted.

All Stars Meet Match in Chaplin.

After batting the delivery of Stowen
and Murphy for two successive victories
over the strong St. Michael's A. A. Of
Brattleboro II remained for Chaplin,
pitching for the No Stars, to show up
the heavy hitters of the All Stars. which
he had done to the queen s taste for
five innings Saturday afternoon when,
in the sixth, in the act Of delivering
the bail to the batter he snapped bone
in his arm above the elbow, probably
ending the career of as promising a
pitcher as has ever been seen i'll West
River valley.
In the six innings that the All Stars
faced him he struck out eight, Manager
Stone going out twice on strikes. The
only score Of the All Stars was due to
a mutfed fly IN center field by Tmson.
In about every inning the All Stars
had men on bases, but Chaplin put ON
little more steam, preventing the needed
hit, in one inning retiring two by the
strikeout route with runner waiting
on third
Moore pitched good ball, but was
touched up rather freely with men on
bases. The only run of the No Stars
was of the earned variety
| For the All Stars Halladav. who had
been easy for Chaplin throughout the
! league season, seemed to be the only
one who could connect with his terrific
speed. One Of his three hits was drive

Much sympathy was expressed for
Chaplin and a collection was taken
among the spectators which brought in
nearly $40, both teams also voting to
turn in the gate receipts towards his
hospital expenses.
