DENIES RUTLAND'S
FOOTBALL CLAIM
Manager Has Dodged Teams that Ap-
peared Capable of Defeating His
Team, Declares Moran.

Editor of The Reformer:-
1t appears that the manager of the Rut-
land high school football team by clever
lodging of all teams that appeared capable
Of beating his team, and by choosing the
teams with which to play from week to
week, has finally won the state Cham
pionship' (?) from team which has the
magnificent seasons record Of five games
won out of nine played Spaulding high
Of Barre.
While this is magnificent work, from the
Rutland managers point of view, no one
with a spark of real sporting blood in his
system would be satisfied with such a
championship and the Brattleboro fans
do not believe that the boys who com
pose the Rutland high team, or the people
of Rutland, approve of CHAMPIONSHIP
clam so cheaply won
Brattleboro played Rutland for tie foot
bah championship of Vermont at bellows
Falls in 1917, and Brattleboro won decis
lively. In 1918, while the epidemic made il
impossible for either team to complet,
their schedules, Rutland's manager claimed
the championship, while Brattleboro
with a seasons record of l42 to 0 for 1T
opponents, made no claim to champion
ship honors, as no championship game wa
played, and Brattleboro does not claim
Championships until they are actually won
This year, with an interscholastic recorC
of 1866 points to opponents lS,-oyer ,
to la record probably ahead of that o
any high school team in New England
in games against teams averaging mucI
stronger and heavier than the teams me
by Rutland, Brattleboro believes that tn
claim of Rutland to state CHAMPIONSHIP
without beating the Brattleboro team
ridiculous. Brattleboros record of inter
scholastic games this season is nine wo
and none lost.
To any ordinary mind it would seer
that the team from which to regain
championship is the team to whom it wa
lost. Brattleboro has tried hard to Civ
Rutland that opportunity Offering to pla
at Brattlehoro, as suggested early in tn
season by Manager O'Brien, or on an
Neutral field easily accessible to each team
Up to date the Manager Of the Rutlan
team has not even Acknowledged the r,
ceipt Of these invitations, although I'll
request of Snauldng high that The 81

day be played on neutral grounds va

SUNDAY MOVIE
BILL IN MORGUE
Governor Gets Hyland Measure
Despite Fact That it Never
Passed Senate
BIZ Special Correspondent.

TRENTON, April 16.-Goyernor
Edge is still signing and vetoing bills
He has sent to the 'morgue" in the
State Library House 291 the much
advertised Sunday movie" bill which
came to his hand for consideration,
although it had passed the state
senate While at first il was believed
that there was trickery in the fact
that this bill got TO the executive with
out being regularly passed, 1t is now
thought that it was just a plain mis-
take. Although the jurat accompany
h bound copy which came to the
Governor bore the signature of Sem
ate President Runyon, it is we'll
known hat he was opposed to any
bill which planned any letting down
OF h present Sabbath regulations
and his entire Legislative career, both
in h senate and house is a guarantee
that there was no attempt upon his
part to get the bill illegally on the
statute books.
Mr.. Runyon appeared before the
governor yesterday n urged hat the
executive take action that would mean
certain death to the bill. This was
the state librarian with this brief
message:
For the reason that the official re-
cords show. thai it did not pass the
Senate. and therefore reached the
Governors Office improperly"
The bill vas evidently inadvertently
signed among a mass of measures on
the Senate Presidents desk in the
rush OF the closing hours of the Leg
islature. Among the latest measures
approved by the executive are the fol-
lowing:
Senator Ackerson: Makes it a mis-
demeanor for unauthorized persons
to carry information into or out oil

ons, drugs OF any articles prohibited
by Law to inmates of institutions.
