PROUTY MADE
MANAGER OF
NEWPORT TEAM
HENDERSON Made Captain
and Effort Made to Brace
Up Nine

John Prouty, manager of the New
port Electric Light Company, and one
of the most loyal supporters of the
Newport baseball team, was chosen
manager of the Newport Baseball
association to succeed G.. Ray Shee-
han, resigned, at an important Ieor-
ganization meeting of the ball club
held in the Y. M. C. |. rooms Tues
day evening. Harold "Shylock" Ken
nison, the "speed ball king" was ell
ected captain in place of temporary
captain, George Edward Wells, who
has handed in his resignation.
In addition to the election of these
men, discussion of several questions
affecting the team was held. 1t was
the unanimous opinion of every per-
son present that the boys need more
practice and it was agreed that the
players should come out twice
week, Monday and Wednesday even
ing for batting and fielding practice.
OF course there are several of the
players, such as Rublee, Gilman and
Montgomery, who will be unable to
get out for practice every time, but
Captain Kinnerson expects every
other man to be on hand each even
ing if possible. Grandpa" and Gilly
are apt to be out on the road any of
these two evenings and Monty lives
in Orleans. Consequently they can
not be depended upon.
The writer believes that the st.
Johnsbury boys have become bit
swell headed and that the Fairbanks
A. A. manager showed poor judgment
when he cancelled the two games he
had scheduled with Newport. The
correspondent knows there is lot of
good stuff in the border city team
and has no doubt but what Newport
would be big attraction in st.
Johnsbury.
Manager Sheehan gives as his rea-
son for resigning, that he has accept
ed position that will keep him away
from town a great deal of the time.
The boys are very sorry to lose Shee-
han as he has been a popular execu
tive and a valuable asset to the team.

Reconstruction educational y and
Patriotic Work Described in
Official Reports.
Delegates From Every State at Pom

THEIR STEWARDSHIP PRAISED.

Far-reaching activities OF the
Knights OF Columbus in reconstruct
ton, educational and patriotic work
were detailed to the delegates attend
ing the thirty-eight supreme conven-
ton of the order Tuesday by Supreme
Knight James A. Flaherty. I'VE have
placed more than S5O,0oO men in
employment without cost to them,
he said, ''and each man at a living
wage. BY this work, / believe we
have saved our country some Of the
distressing scenes that have been
witnessed in the metropolses OF the
nations who participated in the war. I"
Throughout the period of demobil-
ization," he declared, "the knights of
Columbus were close to the men,
helping them, with their problems,
serving them in every useful way we
could advise"
Tens of thousands of former seIv-
ice men and women were benefited
by the orders educational campaign,
the Supreme Knight said. Five hun
bred veterans are receiving college
educations in representative universe
ties. The X. of G. school system has
grown from one TO seventy-three
schools within twelve months and
will grow to 200 schools before the
end OF the year. Teachers are paid
rs per cent. more than the public
lschool rate, he said, and this policy
will be continued. The ultimate ain
of the order is to inaugurate a sys
tenn of 500 self-sustaining nigh
schools. These schools will be thrown
open TO civilians for nominal fees
Lecturers, in their campaign agains

day afternoon and at night was many
miles at sea aboard the liner Baltic,
steaming eastward toward whatever
fate awaits him in Ireland-ihis ma
tive land---a visit to which has been
forbidden him by the British Govern
ment on his journey to Rome to see
the Pope.
Thousands were assembled on the
dock and the distinguished prelate
was given a dramatic American fare

in the Hudson the Archbishop
tall. sombre-clad figure, distinguished
by clerical robes as high church
dignitary-was seen on the after
deck. His serious face, surmounted
by iron-gray hair, was continually
bowed in recognition of the wild
chorus of cheers waited across the
intervening water. In his left hand
he held two red roses, the only floral
offerings flung from the dock that
could reach him. With the other
hand he waved a silent blessing
Hours before the ship sailed men
women and children carrying Ameri,
can and Irish flags assembled at the
pier. 1t was the greatest farewell
given traveller at this port for many
a year and the prelate was forced vir-
tually to fight his way thru the
throng to get from his automobile tC
the gateway.
Raised on the shoulders of great
crowd of Irish sympathizers-wht
yelled themselves hoarse in tribute Il
their two leaders. President d.
Valera watched the great ship being
towed into midstream, and from afal
received final benediction from th'
venerable father whose air of calm
devoted courage brought volley afte
volley of cheers from sympathizer
ashore.
In contrast to this scene was on
