the greatest teams of colored baseball
players in the country, will play a
return game in St. Johnsbury Friday
afternoon on the Campus with the
fast Fairbanks A. A. team. The
game is called for 4.15 p. m.
In a recent game of the Royal
Giants here the home team was shut
QUITO the tune of to 0. Since that
time the boys have taken on batting
streak which was shown in the game
with Sherbrooke last week. The col
ored gentleman on the mound for the
Giants will find some keen eyed bat
ters up against him when he starts
the game on Friday.
A large crowd is ~oing to accom-
pany the home team to Sherbrooke
for the return game with the team
from that city Saturday,. 1t is claim
ed that an outside team cannot win
with Sherbrooke on their home
grounds. On the last visit of St.
Johnsbury to Shcrbrooke it took 16
innings for Sherbrooke to win. If
the Fairbanks boys have their eye
on Thormahlen's curves the wav they
did last week it will not take 16 inn
inps for the home team to win.

have been the one to brine about the
victory because there is so much need
in the South for woman suffrage.
believe this vote in Tennessee augurs
we'll for the conversion of the whole
South. About 35 years ago temper
ance instruction was introduced into
the public schools and it has been
interesting to see how the legislators
that were boys in school Il generation
ago voted SO unanimously for the pas
sage OF the 18th mendment. The
women hive been instrumental in
bringing about two great movements
in our national life, the defeat of the
power Of the saloon and the passage
Of the amendment Granting equal
suffrage"
Mrs. A. L. Bailey, former presi-
dent Of the Vermont Equal Suffrage
association, was tremendously graft
fed at the result of the vote. 1T is
a matter of decn regret" she said
that Vermont could not have the
honor of being the seth state. The
vote means that all the women can
now participate in the coming cleo
tions."
Mrs. Robert f. French was over
joyed at the news and said 81 feel
ckagrined that urVermont Governor
refused to call an extra session that
our state might have the glory of the
victory which is great one because
it came in state that was regarded
by all friends of equal suffrage as one

Over 100 Auto Accidents
Reported In One Day

The Secretary of State received re-
ports of over 100 accidents Monday
throughout Vermont. None were of'a
serious nature, all being termed
mild" collisions. resulting t.. from
broken parts on cars, blind roads, a
little bit of fast driving at times and
not little carlesness.
Allie Frost of Groton reports that
while making a detour because a
bridge had been washed out on the
18th, the axle on his car broke let
ting him come back down the hill
and tipping over his car but injuring
no one.
C. J. LeClair of Barre rubbed
against a car he was rassing on the
St. Johnsbury road. He stopped and
said he would pay the damage but
when he got home he couldn't find a
mark on his own car and now he is
wondering about it. He adds that he
lost the slip on which he jotted down
the number of the other car and can
remember only that it was Chevro-
let driven by Mr.. White.

Distance of Ten Miles
In Seven Hours

Johnsbury boy who is now a medical
student in Burlington and employed
during the summer as instructor in
swimming on the North Beach, re-
Gently swan across Lake Champlain.
making the distance of nearly 10
miles in seevn hours. Mr. Branch is
the son of the late DR.. Branch of
Newport and is we'll remembered both
in Newport and st. Johnsbury. He
was accompanied on his trip by Paul
Drummer, also of Burlington, and
they crossed the lake from Willsboro
Point to the Vermont shore. The
men landed far apart and Branch
struck shore off Oak ledge while
Drummer rounded the breakwater
and landed at the wharf of the Cham
plain Transportation company.
Both men nearly accomplished the
performance on Friday afternoon,
failing when some three-foot waves
struck them after they had gone be-
yond Juniper Island. 1t was impos-
sble for the swimmers to face such
conditions during the big strain and
they both got into the boats which
accompanied them.
On Monday, conditions seemed to
be ideal and the mon left Willsboro
Point in the afternoon at 2.15 o'clock.
Each had his boat, with oarsmen, and
then began the tussle of more than
nine miles with the waves. The men
stayed together until they reached a
point north of Juniper Island. At
that time Branch encountered q
current which drove him toward Oak
Ledge, while Drummer went to the
north in order to swim around the
brealswater and make his landing at
the wharf. Drummer was about an
hour later in landing on account of
the longer swim. Branch was in the
water six hours and half, Drummer
seven hours and 35 minutes, the
former reaching Oak Ledge at 8.45
p. M, and the latter stepping on to
the steamboat wharf at $50 p. m.
Old lake men cannot remember
any other such performance. Some
had heard rumors of a man SWIM
ming across the lake MANY years ago,
but they did not recollect his name
or the conditions under which he ac-
comnlished it, even if he did make the
trip.

MI. Carr said the principle was
correct, but he was satisfied that the
method of having one health officer
do all the work in such large dis

the appointment of a committee to
