BROKE U. S. NAVY RECORD
For Largest Continuous Cruise for Bat
tleships.

Honolulu, T H., Aug, 2.-Spuadron
two, of the Atlantic battleship feet,
with Vice Admiral Hilary p Jones
commanding and carrying upwards of
1900 Annapolis midshipment, which ar
rived here recently for an eight day
visit broke the record for the longest
continuous cruise for battleships in the
history of the United States navy, ac-
cording to officers of the fleet.
The leg of the trip from Panama to
Honolulu, 1865 miles, is said to be the
longest nonstop voyage for battleships
in the navy's annals. Engine room rec
ords showed that an average speed of
IL and onehalf knots was maintained,
az against the lO-knot average speed
when the Connecticut, flagship of this
squadron, led the Atlantic feet around
the world in 1905
During their long voyage the mid
shipmen worked as regular sailors.
They swabbed decks, shoveled coal and
did everything that falls to the lot
Of the enlisted men. While in Honolu-
lu, officers and men of the fleet, mid
shipmen and reservists were guests of
honor at numbers of entertainments
from the admiral's ball down to the
private swimming party at Waikiki.

When Game With Barre
East Hill Ended on Lin
coin Campus Saturday
SCORE Z TOP
IN POOR GAME
Slayton, B ARE, Man
Pitched for No. Mont
pelier and Did Well.

The North Montpelier team, strength.
ened by the addition of Slayton and
Pariezo, Barre players, easily defeat
ei the Barre east hill team, seven to
two, Saturday afternoon at Lincoln
campus. Frequent errors marred the
playing of both teams, and made the
game to poor one to watch for the
few spectators present. North Mont
pelier showed up as decidedly the bet
ter of the two teams, but a great part
of the credit of their showing must
be given to Slayton, who struck out
Is men. The local team displayed a
decided lack OF practice and, conse-
quently, their playing was ragged dur
ing the greater part of the game.
The visitors scored first in the initial
inning. Bean singled to right and stole
second, scoring minute later when
Sawyer dropped Jefford's fly. Jeffords
took third without any trouble, but
was thrown out when he attempted to
score on bad pitch. Another tally
was chalked up in the third inning.
Persons singled through short and
stole second Slayton famed. Bean
shot liner over second, scoring Per-
sons, and himself took second on the
throw to catch his teammate at the
plate. Pariezo singled through sec
ond, sending Bean to third, but the
next two men failed to connect, and
they were left sitting on the bags.
North Montpelier sewed up the game
in the fifth, when errors and a wild
throw gave them trio of tallies, Per.

shot a single over second, and ad

out. Slayton scored directly after.
wards, however, when Pironi booted
Jefford's grounder. Brown dumped a
slow roller to Chase, who chose to
play for Bean at the plate, but threw
wild, allowing both Bean and Jeffords
to count. Brown was left on second,
when Guernsey was out, H. johnson
to Gall.

MONTPELIER X. OF G.
Defeated ST. ALBANS
Visitors Presented Patched Up Team
And Had Little Chance-Score
Was Nine to One.

The Montpelier knights of Columbus
defeated the St Adams baseball team
on the Montpelier seminary campus
Saturday afternoon by score Of nine
to one st. Adams got its score in the
second inning, caring the run Umpire
Duncan received hot one right from
the bat in the pit Of the stomach, and
delayed the game, while he recovered
his breath. The game was called in
the eighth inning, when Montpelier
was batting, with two scores made and
two out, because or rain. 1t helped the
ST. Adams boys to get their train
home The last named team played
without FIVE of its regular men and, in
justice to them, il should be said that
they picked up" two men at the sta
tion as they were leaving st. Adams
to make the nine players. Several
changes in the lineup occurred as
result of this.
In the second inning, for st. Adams,
Woodward went out at first; Neiburg
and Nevins singled, Neiburg scoring on
the last single. Carroll and Godfrey
struck out. Woodland pitched good
game, but was not supported. The Wis
itors singled occasionally, but these
were so scattered that little was ae-
eomplished.
Montpelier played a steady game
and did not make a single error
throughout. Lamperti went after one
that was not within his territory and
knocked it down so that Shannon was
given hit instead of Lamperti an err
ror. Montpelier got in the first inning |
Lamperti singled. Dobbs advanced him
to second and he scored on a wild |
throw, when Murphy reached first.
Conf, who had been hit by the ball,
also advanced and scored on CaToll's

Bean let j. Johnson's grounder get
away from him. The locals other score
came in the following inning. Gall sim
gled to left and took second when
Chase poked one past the short stop.
Both men advanced a base when
OKeefe grounded out to first. Hall
hit into an easy out, Cline to Little,
but Gall was able to reach home on
the play. Chase went to sleep on
third, however, and was caught miles
from the bag by Pariezo, the play re-
firing the side.
The visitors gained two more runs
in the sixth on single and two I'M
necessary errors, completing the scor-
ing in the game. Both teams were able
to run wild on the bases without dan
ger of being thrown out and, with err
rors as frequent as they were, the won
der is that there were not more scores
for the visitors.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the disease portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure cat
arrhal deafness and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an infiamed condi.
ton Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to IFS
n NAL condition, hearing will be des-
troyed forever. Many cases of deaf.
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces Of the system.
