primary petitions for state, county and
congressional Offices except supplement
tary petitions with the secretary of
state or county clerk. This date does
not apply to petitions for town repre-
sentatives, the candidates for that OF

that purpose.

What food of memories must have
come to the minds of those eight
known survivors of Company G, 18th
Vermont infantry, who gathered in
Bellows Falls one day this week to
hold their fiftieth reunion in the place
where they consecrated their lives to
the service of their country pack in
the days of 1862! Out of the 1877
who served in that company during
three years of Civil war history only
those eight are known to be living.
As those old comrades met and grasped
each others hands there must have
been a surcharge of emotion that few
men nowadays are privileged to expe-
rience.

 Against Jackson

Jackson, Miss, July 3.--(Special)- )-The New Orleans Baseball Club and Amuse- ment Company. owners of the New Or leans franchise in the Southern League, has filed suit in the federal court here against the Jackson Baseball Association for s50,000 damages. alleging as ground for action that the Jackson association enticed one of it's star pitchers, Tim Murchison, to jump his contract and join the Jackson team.
 Plaintiff ayers that on June % 1920 while the said Tim Murchison was peace fully engaged in it's employment carry ing out the aforesaid contract, the de- fendants herein we'll knowing that the said Timothy Murchison has contracted to give his services as a ball player dur ing the season of 1920 to plaintiff herein. and well knowing that the said Timothy Murchison was servant of plaintiff herein, by their agents and servants. did wickedly, maliciously and unlawfully persuade, cajole and induce the said Timothy Murchison to break the contract with plaintiff and to enter into their en- ploy as a baseball player during the sea- son of 1920.
 Plaintiff further shows that. owing to the shprtness of the baseball season and the nature of the services demanded by the business of plaintiff, and because of the high degree of efficiency which must be maintained it is impossible to replace the services of the said Timothy Murchi- son at the present time, particularly at this time when there is a scarcity of ball pitchers"

Princess Troubetzkoy's New Art

from the purely top aspect of this new craft. Madame Wolkoffs dolls are net only durable, but they can be washed, and are mounted upon some sort of flex- ible skeleton which can be moved at will. She also makes houses and tennis courts, wells with spindle pumps, sheds, gardens and terraces, picturesque hills and meadows and villages so that her realistic toys may be played with in appropriate surroundings
 Besides making these toys herself Madame Wolsoff is esta ablishing school where children, and grown-ups, too, may learn the craft There will be depart. ments of descriptive needlework and il- illustrative rag modelling. For example, seashore with the tide coming in is made by embroidering soft, finely wo- ven material all over to stimulates and the tapping waves are of transparent stuff embroidered with filmy threads of shaded glossy silk puckered and folded with foamy crests of spun silk light as down..
 real talent for caricature makes Madame Wolkoffs witches, goblins and spooks thrilling company. With their bony, withered faces and talon-lilSe fin- gers they are truly fearsome and would satisfy the most blood-curdling demands of infancy. Mounted on brooms, poised over dark wells and following will-o'-tha wips, they are likely to carry her fame far afield. But they can never be copied or reproduced by the thousands It is one of the virtues of this new art that replica is impossible Each figure is unique; each stands alone. Even in a group of oysters in scene from '"Tnc Walrus and the Carpenter each oyster is different They are moving up the beach in winding procession toward the walrus and diminish in size toward the end, the last one a tiny shell just vis- ible at the waters edge
 There is no doubt about Madame Vol koff's political credentials. If there had been any doubt it would have explained why. amidst all this delightful art and fantasy, she took the trouble to con struct ugly crusifixion scene in which the crucified is supposed to be a child of the aristocracy and the crucifiers bol- shevikS

There's only one regrettabie fact about yesterdays game. The Bnrons haven't any pitchers left with which to win the three games scheduled for today and tomor- row.
 Four Baron twirIers were used on the mound and one mt first base yesterday.
 There's not chance for either Gallagher or Coffindaffer to pitch today. Both have,been works 3 hard recently. Morrison k possibility. He pitched only n few minutes yes- terday. There is also a chance to use Giazner. He pitched almost two innings. Mcei<er pitched little over one inning, short time. but it is not likely that he will be used again within the next four days.
 It's up to either GIaxner or Nor rison to pitch today's game. The chances are that Morrison will he sent in against the Pcls.
 Glaxner did all his good work yesterday. He halted the Vols fin their wild rush and turned back the attack of the Mountaineers.
 Lefty" Meeker was used during one inning and part of another, H. really made a nice showing for : youngster pitching his first game witt a new team, Meeker went in with tn, bags clogged and no one out. He re tired the side without score. It wa! a nifty bit of pitching.
 Meeker retired in the eighth in ia. vor of Glazner. The little southpav seemed to bewob bling little, having walked two men, and Moley relieved him before it was too late. .
 The Travellers lost yesterday, thereby letting the Barons gain on them little. However, the PcIs are now threatening.
 If New Orleans defeats the Barons today. the Peis will slide into the leadership, the Barons talk ing second place.
 The Barons are waging a fearfu fight to retain the lead. Four iravl.
