BEATS BARTON
IN 10TH INNING
Capt. HOernle's Single With
Two Out Brings l toe
Victory

When Capt. Hoernle of the Fair
banks A. A. stepped to the plate yes
terday afternoon in the last half O.
the tenth inning with two men ou
and two men on bases and swattet
swift curve right on the nose for {
pretty safe hit over second base, hi
put ice on one of the best games o1
baseball that st. Johnsbury has seer
in years. 1t made 1 to 0 victory fol
the home team over the fast Barton
nine. Close to 1000 enthusiastic fans
wended their way homeward declar-
ing that they had never seen a better
game.
Two more evenly matched baseball
teams would be hard to find. They
played fine sportsmanlike game and
there was no bitterness or wrangling
A cleaner crowd of baseball players
than the Barton team has not been
seen here this season. We mean
their sportsmanship and not the nat
tiness of their attire for so far as
dressy uniforms were concerned they
looked like a real hard working base
ball outfit.
Witty was pitted against a pitcher
of about his own calibre in yester-
days game. Murphy struck out five
men, allowed two bases on balls and
six hits, and in the pinches proved
to have fine control of the ball. Witty
was not quite as good form as usual
but he struck out nine men and walk
ed but two, and the visitors found
him for only hits. There was one
two bagger on each side.
Outside of Hoernle's winning wal
lop Davidson was the individual star
of the home team. In the third inning
he stopped a possible score by Bar
ton by getting a singing liner over
third base by beautiful catch. L.
Lee was on second after making q
two bagger and would have scored
but for Davidson's great catch. This
rugged sacker then stepped up to the
plate and lined out his second pretty
hit of the game.
Fairbanks had chance to score in
treD7th if Gormley had not tried to
steal second on the first ball thrown.
In this inning Swan flied to center.
Gormley reached first on an error.
1t was obvious to spectators who had
seen Snyder working out that no
man would be able to steal second on
him and he nailed two men at this
stunt during the game. On the next
ball pitched after Gormley was caught
Slayton lined beautiful drive into
center field for two bases. Gormley
would undoubtedly have scored on
this play.
In the ninth inning Barton got
three men on bases. Barrows made
a hit and T. Lee flied to left field.
Dubois drew hit and Deland got a
base on balls filling the bases. With
one out it looked as if Barton was
going to win the game. Webster
struck out, Murphy hit hot ground
er to Freeman which he hurled to the
home plate retiring Barrows.
In the tenth Gormley got on
through an error by B. Lee. Slayton
made a hit but was put out on a

have been made to accommodate up
wards of 1000 guests at this grand al
fair, and the guests are to be well
coined with the intention of giving
them the best time they have had for
ages.
fhe whole program of band con-
eerts, athletic contests, parade, MN
strels and vaudeville, singing con-
vention, and all that goes with it will
be free with the exception of the two
baseball contests. 1t Is planned to be
one grand, big, rollicking celebration
of the one hundredth anniversary Of
the founding of the village of Or
leans.
In 1871, Col. William Barton
settled in what is nov the village OF
Barton and as the settlement grew, it
became a village and bore his name.
In 1920, a saw mill was built at the
edge the river six miles north Of
Barton, and immediately settlement
grew up about it. This community
tok the name of Barton Landing.
From its origin about this humble,
rustic saw mill has grown a prosper
Gus village, numbering 1900 people,
with all the industries customarily
found in such a community, and in
addition several others. The Parker
Young Co., a lumber concern, which
makes probably more piano backs
than any other such establishment
in the country, the r. w. Eldredge
Co., manufacturers of handkerchiefs,
and TIE Fletcher Co., manufacturers
of post cards, illustrated calendars,
etc, are three of the special indus
tries which have added to the towns
business prosperity. These en-
terprises in the village, coupled with
many acres of prosperous farms in
other parts of the town, have sue
ceeded in putting Orleans on her feet
and in such position that she can
now call upon the public to join with
her in the gay celebration of her
humble beginning, 100 vears ago and
the resultant growth, as her welcome
guests.
The most noticeable of the elabor-
ate preparations for the four big
days are the decorations throughout
the city, and especially in the main
business square. The business laces
have been vested in gala attire by
firm of professional decorators, II.

WANTS CAROLINA
TO STAND FIRM

Washington, D. c.. July a.
1920. National Suffrage work
ers, including lobbyists, persona
workers, financial agents and
press agents boarded outgoing
trains tonight for Tennessee and
North Carolina to begin the in
tensive drive for ratification by
the th4State.
Just before their departure a
statement was issued from Head
quarters here expressing conf
dence in the outcome, and say
ing that $1,000 would be spent
in Tennessee and a like amount
would be needed in North Caro-
lima.
Reports from the White House
were to the effect that Senator
Simmons had as yet made no re-
spouse to the Presidents mes
sage urging ratification. Sena-
tor Overman's reply was decided
ly negative. His wire was de-
scribed as more positive in tenor
than the position he took at the
recent State Conven tion."
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana
suffered under a similar invasion,
but their men could not be in
duced to surrender the rights of
their States or TO conscript their
womanhood for political service.
We trust that the men of
North Carolina will prove quite
as able to stand firm.

take the roundabout and for
ward look as well as the rear

But also their minds have been
