ST. MICHAEL'S SIDE
Of the Game with Montpelier Seminary
Recently at Montpelier.

Editor, Barre Times. There is a say
ing to the effect that there are two sides
to every story. Having read the &C.
count which appeared in your columns
relative to Tuesdays game with Mont
pelier seminary, ! feel moved out Of JUS
tice to my team and my college to pre-.
sent my version of the affair. Did Pitch.
er Duba make a balkg The writer of the
article above referred to says that this
is "a close point to decide at best"
According to rule 80, section 8, of the
Spaulding Guide the decision is quite
clear. The Guide reads as follows: "a
balk shall be, making any motion OF
the arm, shoulder, hip or body the pitch.
err habitually makes in his method Of
delivery, without Immediately delivering
the ball to the batter" Now this is lust
the point. Pitcher Duba admittedly took
two wind-ups before he threw the ball
to third. Moreover, such motion of
the pitcher is universally considered as
starting to pitch For this reason pitch
ers are coached not TO take a wind up
with men on bases, because this permits
runners to start steal without being
caught off the base. Duba caught me
up and leaning towards the batter he
threw the ball to third | admitted that
Duba stepped towards third when he
threw; not that he was facing third be-
fore he threw. The contention is that
Pitcher Duba never takes habitually the
same position in delivery and therefore,
was not using such habitual method OF
delivery as is necessary to make a balk.
This is, to say the least, weak argu
ment.
If we admit this we are logically bound
to say that it is impossible for Pitcher
Duba to make balk, mo matter how he
throws the ball The question at issue
in this particular instance is; Did he
take his wind-up and lean towards the
batter? This he did beyond a doubt.
This is universally admitted to be a
balk, for as no pitcher can deliver a ball
without taking this position; so the fact
Of a pitcher taking this position means
he is going to deliver to the batter.
There is another thing that / would
like to state Your write-up conveys the
impression that Coach Maiden conceded
the point under discussion and that I
left the field in spite of this. It was
only after we had changed our uniforms
that we were asked to finish the game,
being then told that if we would return
the umpire's decision would be invoked.
The fact that this concession was made
at all tends to show that the decision
must have been at fault regret that
my action should appear unsportsman.
like. 1t seems TO me that | only used
the right of captain in protesting. The
umpire admitted he did not know what
balk is, and fair play in such cases
demands that a question clearly covered
by the official guide should be referred
to that guide and settled accordingly

DISPOSINC OF THE
EX.K4ISER'S PROPERTY
German People Are Already Using Some
of His Castles and Palaces for
Their Own Purposes.

Berlin, June | Correspondence Of the
Associated Press Disposition of the
property of the former emperor and the
former crown prince Is claiming the at
tention of the finance ministry of the
new republic. A commission has been
appointed whose duty will be TO deter
mine what may properly be considered
their private holdings and what holdings
may properly be looked upon as belong
ing to the state.
The order creating the commission pro-
vides for thorough search Of real estate
records for the purpose Of determining
the title, and says the findings must be
placed before the national assembly so
that proper disposition may be made of
the lands and palaces which the govern
ment will take over.
Already there is some discussion on
this point. Nearly all Of the emperor's
castles and palaces are now being used
for public purposes, those in Berlin be-
ing occupied by public officials as resi-
dences and for offices, while the Pots
dam palace has become hospital. In
other districts they are being utilized as
barracks for troops, as in the case of
some Of the crown princes palaces.
1t has been suggested that the emper-
or's palace in Berlin shall become a mu-
scum for the ministry of arts and sci
ences, in which will be gathered the art
objects now in all the royal palaces
just what will be done with the re-
mainder of the emperor's fortune, it is
said, will not be determined until after
the peace treaty has been formally
signed

VACATIONS NOT ENCOURAGED.
Returned Soldiers in Training Given Va
cations Only When Physical Condi-
lions Make 1t Necessary.

Washington, D. c., May 27,-Trsining
for returned soldiers is made intensive
and as nearly continuous as possible in
order that full wage earning employment
may be secured as early as expedient
For this reason the federal board for vo-
cational education does not encourage
vacations for men taking re-education
courses. However, some men are being
trained in institutions where courses
cannot be arranged during vacation pc
RODS, and in addition the physical condi-
tion of some men demand rest period.
These two classes of men are allowed,
during such vacation periods, the same
payments to which they are entitled
while in actual attendance upon their
courses. The board, however, will en-
courage men whose physical condition
permits, TO continue their training dur
ing the months the schools and colleges
are closed, by engaging in some occupa-
tion related TO the formal training
courses they are pursuing. Men who are
being trained on the job will be allowed
no vacation with pay, unless their ply
steal condition, according to the advice
of medical officer, requires it.

MORE NEARLY NORMAL.
Strike Situation in Lima, Peru, Is More
Reassuring.

Lima, Peru, June 1.-The situation
arising from the strike is rapidly re-
turning to normal here and 1t is believed
that the most of the industries affected
will resume operations tomorrow.
The foreign colony is aroused by the
summary arrest OF Charles Southwell,
owner OF an old established British print
ing firm, who was seized on Wednesday
night and charged with printing sedi-
tious articles contained in publication
edited by Peruvian university students.
These charges were filed by the British
charge dafairs and consul The print
ing establishment was occupied by
troops, but they were withdrawn last
night, following an energetic protest by
the American minister, as the closure Of
the establishment interfered with the
publication of an American-owned news
paper printed by Southwell.

WAR PRoFITEERING IN BOOKS.
How Gen. Ludendorff Recoups Himself in
View of His Lost Opportunities.

General Ludendorff's own story of the
war and the armistice, no doubt with
a proper quantity of parsmagnafuing is
about to be published in Germany. 1t
will cost % marks, and Vorwarts, which
terms this "a truly popular edition"
wonders why so high price. should be
asked for information as to who was to
blame, which the general and his friends
have insisted was absolutely essential to
an understanding of the German collapse.
But this is not the worst, The publish
ers have given the general an advance
of 100000 marks on the royalties, a sum
which will no doubt be deposited in some
neutral sanctuary so that the former mas
ter of Germany win have modest com
petence secured, no matter what may
happen in the fatherland.
Vorwarts, which wonders whether the
general entered this sum- on his books
as war profits or revolution profits,
thinks that he may have remembered
that some of the victorious generals of
1870 were rewarded by 'dotations" out
of the French indemnity, and is trying
to make up for the prospective dotation
which somehow slipped out of his hand
last year. Or perhaps, suggests our
German contemporary, he may have de-
cided that if he could not be victor
(Kreigsgewinner) he would at least dis
tinguish himself as a prohteer (Kriegsge-
winner) Observers from this side of the
ocean may add a third possibility. Luz
dendorff, after little service at the
front in Belgium, spent the rest of the
war in staff posts at headquarters, much
of the time on German soil. He missed
the chances Of picking up souvenirs
which were utilized so thoroughly by the
crown prince and other generals who
followed only few miles in the rear
of their advancing armies, so long as
the enemy was retreating, without much
trouble. If Hohenzollern thriftily stole
clocks and underwear from ehateailx in
France, why should Ludendorf hest
tate to do what he can to make up for
the opportunities which never came his
way New York Times

EVERYONE CHANGED BUTCHERS.
Because of Bad Feeling Engendered Over
Rationing,

London, june Correspondence of the
Associated Press Nearly everyone in
England has changed butchers in the
past few weeks or is doing so now.
When strict rationing was in force
each householder was compelled to regis
ter with one butcher and buy all meat
from him People were standing in line
for the butchers supplies, his hoppers
were cleaned every day before his Gus
toners could get what they wanted, and
he was irritated at price and allotment.
A few sharp words and soon the butcher
and the consumer were hardly on speak
ing terms. This went on during the war
because the butcher if he had meat was
forced to supply the registrant, he could
not over-charge him and the registraut
was forced to purchase from that butch
err.
The result was that when the govern
ment decided householders could register
with another firm nearly everybody did.

series of this years playing when Sat
urday afternoon it defeated Franklin, N.

game il was one OF the most interesting

but in the sixth inning the visiting team
went to pieces with the result that the
local team piled up scores in that and the
next two innings.
Each team had a chance to score in the
early part of the game, but through
misiudgment failed. Poor coaching
caused Montpelier TO lose its chance.
Grandfeld drove the ball into the foun-
tain and easily reached third, but Hatch,
who was coaching, sent him home, which
he failed to reach, the ball being re-
layed by Nouell to Huntoon, and to

STRIKE UNREST IN FRANCE.
Miners Join Movement and Clerks in One

Paris, June "A Bethme dispatch to
Humanite says that the union miners in
the Pas De Calais department have called
a general strike for this morning, and
that it is expected the miners in other
coal fields and that of the Nord depart
ment will join in two or three days The
employees of one of the principal depart
ment stores in Paris voted to strike this
morning
These movements, it is said, are caused
by either dissatisfaction with the EN-.

the increased cost of living, or their
methods of applying the eight.hour day
law, or both.

Munich, Saturday, May 81 (By the As

it is declared, with the discovery that
seven of the ten put to death belong to
an organization known as the Thule 40
ciety, an anti-semitic association devoted
to race improvement and cultural ideals.
Their seizure is attributed to denuncia-
tion by bolshevik leaders of the govern
