SPORTING
GAME
NOT PULLED OFF
Arms Academy Has No Team, but Fact
Was Not Known to BrattlebOrO
and Crowd Assembled Saturday.

After having put in hard practice in
anticipation of a game with a football
team which was nOn-existant the Brat
tleboro high school eleven learned Sat
urday afternoon that Arms academy of
Shelburne Falls had no team this year,
and a good sized crowd of fans who had
assembled at Island park disappointedly
moved away.
Last March the football manager at
Arms academy wrote the BTattleborO
high school team manager asking for
two dates. one at BrattleborO and one
at Shelburne Falls, and asked for
guarantee. The Brattleboro manager
wrote that the team here had decided
to play but one game with each team
this season and asked that the Arms
team come here Oct. 10. \ guarantee
was named. \ few days later n second
letter from the Arms manager came,
acknowledging the Letter from Brattle-
boro and stating that the terms were
satisfactory.
As no visiting team had arrived as
the time for starting the game APP
preached Principal J. L. Warren tele-
phoncd to Arms and the principal there
said the academy had no team and that
he was not aware that a date had been
arranged with BrattleborO. Principal
Warren made the announcement on the
grounds and those who had paid admis-
sion were given their money back.

FARCE PRESENTED
BY FINE COMPANY
Up in MabcI's Room Keeps Large AUDI
ence in UprOar - Gift OF Chem1se
Causes Peck of Trouble.

An innocent little rose colored chemise
was the axis around which reyolVed the
clever farce, Up in MabeIs Room, an
4. II. Woods production, given in the
Auditorium Saturday night before a
house of large proportions which laughed
itself hOarSe The fact which made the
chpmise all-important was that it bore
the Inscription, mabel, from Garry,
Garry. who has just married another
girl, foolishly having had the tiimsy lit
tie article of wearing apparel inscribed
when he bought it two years before In
Paris for Mabel, a particular friend at
that time. -,
Garry and his wife. Geraldine, with
some other friends. including Mabel, are
at the home of Arthur Weldon. and Ma
bel makes such use of the chemlSe IN
harrassing Garry that it becomes i'm
portant for Garry to get possession of 1t
to prevent knowledge of the gift from
reaching his wife. He enliSts the aid
of his friend COriss. and after the lat
ter has ransacked Mabels room it is
learned that Mabel is wearing the ar
ticIr. Then there is evolved plot to
secure the chemise after Mabel has re-
tired.
The carrying out of the plot leads to
many embarrassing complications and
Neutrality-suspicious. and jealous outburstS
of wrath. and most of the party work
at cross purposes, but everything comes
out all right at the end.
The company here Saturday night was
uniformly excellent and presented an ex-
cppti0nally well conceived story IN
thoroughlv fine manner. While Garry
and Mabel were the leading parts the
acting of the other roles was equally
good and NIL were vital to a perfect
whole The parts We're taken rs fol-
lows: Kruger. James Telfar; COrliss,

Thorough satisfaction was felt by the
audience. which not only enjoyed the
play but admired the many handsome

THOMPSON NOW
CLUB CHAMPION
Defeats l.. X. Barber in Final Round of
Play for Country Club Presidents
CuD-Active Season.

Onslow r. Thompson became cham
pon of the Brattleboro Country club
Saturday afternoon by defeating Law
renee X. Barber + and 3 in the final
round for the presidents cup. Thomp-
sons victory was deserved as he has
been playing a strong and consistent
game athe entire season. Barber has
probably shown greater Improvement
than any other member of the club the
past season and won his way into the
final round through a series of uphill
matches.
The golf season now drawing to
close has been the most active since the
clubs organization, and the course it
self, which has improved steadily since
spring, promises to be better than ever
next season. In fact there is little
doubt that outside of the famous
Ekwanok course at Manchester it is the
best in the state \ considerable amount
of work on the sixth and eighth fair
ways is now in progress. During the
coming week the regular green's will be
closed and play transferred to the tenn
porary green's which have been put in
shape for the remainder of the season.

given by the members of the second
year class in chapel Friday Several
selections were given by the boys of
the class and a very pretty piano solo
was played by Marion Baldwin. One
number which was perhaps the most
interesting on the program, was the

much laughing among the students.
Criticisms of the program were made
by Clarence Hazen, '21.

Joseph Rousseau of Westmore, II
years old lad, was taken to Newport
last week and lodged in the county
jail upon the serious charge OF as
sault with intent to rob Miss Anna
Rowen, the 16 year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Rowen of AL
bany.
Edwin G. Brown superintendent of
the James r. Wood Detective Agency,
who was in town on the Bancroft
case, was called TO assist States
Attorney Thompson on the Rousseau
case. Young Rousseau, who was sus-
pected at the time, confessed to the
assault after being questioned by
Thompson and Brown. 1t appeared
Annie Rowen had driven from her
home in Albany on Monday to Barton
having in her possession quite sum
of money. some of which was to pay
for feed and sum to be deposited
in the bank. Young Rousseau gained
knowledge of the fact and knowing
something of the route she would take
upon her return trip home, drove out
on the Albany road near the point
where the assault was committed and
concealing his horse laid IN wait for
the young girl As she passed by his
hiding place he made the assault with
the but of a whip, breaking her nose
and lacerating her face. The girl
fell form the wagon and was later
picked up by John Simon, a grand jury
of Albany, and first selectmen Fred
Fess. who carried her to her home.
The case was at once reported to
States Attorney Thompson and an
investigation followed which resulted
in the arrest of Rousseau.
He was brought into the County
court room Thursday morning and
information gathered by the Staes at
torney was read to which he plead
guilty. Sentence was deferred
From the examination it appears
that the lad had before been connect
