ROAD IN WINDSOR is ALL RIGHT

The Bennington Banner made the
statement IN an editorial last week "a
the effect that the beautiful road in
Windsor which was copied by Man
chester, would not remain in first class
condition another year.
Having been over the Windsor road
last fall and finding it then apparently
as good as rev Judge Griffith determ-
ined TO ascertain what basis there was
for the statement in the Banner.
II the Windsor road is going 10
pieces there is cause for worry about
our road in Manchester Village, but
the following letter from the chair
man Of the Trustees Of the Village Of
Windsor apparently settles the matter
and shows that the Banner made a
bad guess:
Windsor, VT, Aug. 20, 1921.
"Mr Edward Griffith, Judge,
Probate Court, District of Manehes-
chester, Manchester, Vermont.
Dear SIR
'Your letter of the 25th addressed
TO Adams and Densmore has been re-
ferred 10 the writer.
Regarding the streets Of Windsor
will say that the streets which have
been in for seven years are in perfect
condition and show no signs whatever
Of giving out.
Eve are putting in mile Of new
streets this year and plan to add an
other mile just as soon as business
picks up which will complete the main
of our village.
"We have found that these streets
save US money instead Of being an
expense for once they are laid there is
very little expense in the up-keep, and
we believe you may rest assured there
IS no reason for the Manchester people
o worry about the street which was
put in last year, as we understand
rom Mr.. Densmore, the mixture is
Exactly the same as that used here on
,ur streets which has proved highly
so much so that when we
-oted for the street we are now put
ing in, there was very little opposi-
on, and property owners who were
opposed to putting in the streets sew
n years ago, now agree with us that
is the only way to take care Of our
reefs.
IF there is any further informa-
ION that will interest you, will be glad
} furnish same.
VERY truly yours,

Chairman of the Trustees Of the
Village Of Windsor" ]

 Hot Springs, Ark, March zs.-( (spe- cial to The Bulletin. l--It doesn't seem possible for one time champion base ball team to have much of the champion ship punch left after disposing by sale and trade of such recognized stars as Babs Ruth, Carl Mays, Iris Speaker Harry Hooper, Duffy Lewis, Larry Gard ner, Waffle Schang and Ernie Shore
 Not long ago all those famous fellows were with the Boston Red Sox, and not leng ago the Red Sex were worlds cham pions Now all of them are gone If all were in the Red Sex camp today even If one CT two sf them have passed their best days-the Red Sox undoubtedly would be favorites for the 1921 pennant
 As it is, Hughey Duffy, who has taken the job of leading the Red Sox, Is hustl- ing and struggling with bunch of lesser lights, some of which haven't yet report ed because of salary differences.
 Old Paprika Seems Lacking.
 Some already here are working in [ manner that lacks spirit and confidence, and the general impression among the ex-
  doomed to second division berth. There are few players of high stand ard still with the Boston outfit, and much depends upon the spirit those fellows display in the fight. Should they enter in the battle-as they may, because of the pleasing personality and ability of thei1 manager-the Red Sox might have quite strong crew on the field, with bit ot help from some bright looking young sters and goodly portion of baseball l luck.
 Everett Scott at short is the best ir the American league. Stuffy McInnis who is booked for first base, but declare: he'll not play for the money offered, i; one of the great first basemen. Del Pratt who accepted the job of coach at ths University of Michigan, is a capable mar at second base.
 Good slabsters and Gardeners. Sam Jones, Herb Pennock, and Jo. Bush, when in shape, are three brett. l fair pitchers. and the veteran Shaunt most recent trade victims are capabll 1 cutfelders, but neither is a Harry Hoo per.
 However, if those fellows get into ; spirit of winning. through the managerial efforts of Duffy, the Red Sox could Inak trouble for lot of teams. because there sufficient talent among that lot to mak trouble for the best of them. Becaus of the delay in reporting of several 0 the regulars. the Red Sox are not likel to be well set for the start of the pen nant race.
 When the team was ready to start fo camp Manager Duffy didn't know jus what he would have By disposing c l Hooper for Jack Collins and Leibold o the White Sox, one of the difficulties va settled and he got two outfielders for ons Perhaps that wasn't all that was involv ed in the trade, for Hooper would no have reported to Boston.
