Company 1 will go a long time before
! they have such luck as to have little
post win ball game for them. Such u
play would probably never happen again.
Barry should apparently have warmed
up more before the start of the game. as
ne travelled some after that first inning.
one hit, and that doubtful, is a pretty
small portion.
That first game was a good exhibition
OF baseball. May we have more of them.
Wood still continues to do good work
with the stick and although we have not
figured the averages as yet we believe he
retains the leadership of the league.
Moquins slow ball had no terrors for
the Toymakers Plumb nearly picked
one for him. BY the way. Harry got an
other hit. Nice work, Harry. you will
have quite collection if you keep it up.
Fisher. who has been hitting rather
weakly of late, took a new lease of life
and connected for three singles in four
| tries.
OLeary, the Toymakers' new recruit,
has pretty whip, but is too slow in
starting for the ball. He lost one run
ner after making a good throw which was
too late.
Not mentioning any names, somebody's
| batting average took a tumble in the first
! game and probably Company / lost the
leadership for team hitting.
They say variety is the spice of life.
There was quite a variety of baseball in
| the two games, the first with only six
hits by both teams while the second game
carried - hits with total of % bases,
SIX two-baggers and a triple.
Moore hits them hard. His Offering in
| the sixth was high enough so that he was
almost on second when Moquin missed the
catch.
Morrill,. pinch hitting for Brouillett in
| the seventh, started something when he
| singled over second. The rally fell two
runs short, however
| Only one ball was hit outside the dia-
mond by Company mot one of the out
! ielders had a chance. It's hard to lose
| a game SO well pitched. Better luck next
| time, Barry.
Oh! for a good big crowd to some of
| these games just to fill up the treasury of
| the league.
Now comes the tail-end of the schedule.
| From now on the fight gets hotter, the
| question is who's going to win the honor
position?

The BrattlebOro local league finished
the first half of the season Saturday anC
the two teams at the bottom of the ladder
took fall out of the leader. Company /
playing the Last & Wood Heel Co. which
had won four straight put a crimp il
their progress by defeating them , to
in the fastest game of the league season
The S. A Smith Mfg. Co, which had lost
four straight, aided by new material tool
a brace and the game from Fort Drummer
in a free hitting contest of II to 8.
The first game of the afternoon, be-
tween the Lasters and the soldiers, was q
tight affair, the latter team getting the
breaks of the game. In the very first
inning they tailed two runs, the only
ones they were able to produce through
out the balance of the contest as
G. Barry settled down to steady pitching,
turning the winners back in one-two-
three order except in the sixth when
Gagne nicked him for a Texas Lacquer, the
only hit he allowed in the entire game and
which should have been an easy out had
not Carver slightly misjudged it.
While Barry was turning the soldiers
back almost hitless, the Lasters here and
there were gathering a hit off Staples. but
the fast and nearly perfect support of his
teammates kept the LaSters from the
plate, although they got a man on in
every inning except the fourth and fifth.
Dame Fortune was with Company | at
the very start of the game when Holt got
a life on r.. Barry's heave to first. G.
Barry then issued his only pass of tie
game to Gagne To make a bad situation
worse Barry then uncorked a wild pitch.
advancing the runners to second and
third. Here the usually steady Clune got
away bad peg, trying to nip Holt off
third. Holt scored on the throw and
Gagne took third, scoring a second later
when Brady uncorked second wild pitch
The next three batters were easy outs
but the damage was done and this gift of
TWO runs without Semblance of a hit
proved to be expensive for the best the
Lasters could do was to collect one lone
run. After this first inning Barry got
under way and had the soldiers completely
at his mercy through the rest of the game.
Only two men saw first. ConnOrs got hit
in the second frame but died trying to
steal third. The second man was Gagne
who lObbed a hit over short in the sixth
but never got beyond the first station.
The Last < Wood Heel outfit got four
men on in the first five innings but perfect
support of the soldiers infield turned them
back without tally. In the sixth, how
ever, it looked bad for Company |. Carver
first up nicked Staples for double and
then spoiled it by foolishly trying to steal
third only TO be nipped. This was a poor
play to pull for with none out and three
of the teams best hitters coming up the
chances were good for an easy run and
would have been such as it proved for
Adams, the next hitter, drew pass. took

an attempt to catch him off that base,

The locals again forged into the lead in
their half as Austin drew a pass with
one out, moved up to second on F. Dun
levy's out at first, Kennedy~got in three
and two then fouled off six before he
dropped one over first that was good for
two sacks and counted Austin. Taylor
finished the inning by flying out TO center
The ninth was exciting and a doubtful
proposition for Brattleboro Fitzgerald
first up, singled down third base line
Slattery shot one down the same place too
hot for h. Dunlevy TO handle and with
third uncovered Fitzgerald dashed for it.
The ball was played to f. Dunlevy, who
did not tag him, but the locals claimed
that the runner ran out of the base line
to oid-being put out. Appeal was made
to the umpire behind the bat who ruled
the runner out but the visitors would not
stand for change of decision, claiming
that the umpire behind the bat did not
have the authority TO do so and after con-
siderable argument play was resumed
The outlook was indeed black for the
locals with a man on second and third
and none out but Bower frightened. fan

threw TO third and b. Dunlevy relayed il
to the plate, getting Fitzgerald The
locals We're not out of the woods yet how

away from him and it looked to be all

runner on mighty close play at first.

game for Company |. Staples, who

corking one of his wild heaves. This
looked good for a run and CIune started
for the plate, but the ball hit the post
which supports the sideline ropes and
bounced back almost to third. Yarker re-
covered the ball and shot it home. Clune
turned back but was eventually run down
by Codding so what looked to be a sure
run for the Lasters by strange piece of
luck was turned into an out.
The Lasters got man on in the sew

and the game was over.

DETECTIVES OF THE LEGION
National Commander GaIbraith Out
lines What Is Planned to Be Ac-
eompIished During the Year,

The detectives of the American Le-
gion for the year 1921 were told by
F. W. Galbraith, Jr, national com
mander, in Il recent speech In en-
clnnati, at a dinner attended by Lee
~gionnalres and business men.
Mr.. Galbralth cited the disabled
mans problems as the Leglon's para
mount oncer and termed the finding
Of a satisfactory solution as zone Job
that is going to be done"
"Woe unto the man." he added, "or
the bureau or bureau chief who Will
fully stands In the way Of paying the
honorable obligation the government
owes these men. Whoever he Is he
will have to get out"
He warned against the activities on
the !. W. w. and kindred %organiza-
tlons and outlined the position of the
Legion as follows:
1.-THE time has come when a line
must be drawn between loyal and dis
loyal Americans. We do not claim TO
have a monopoly on patriotism but
because of our service u loyalty Is
a little clearer to our hearts and Is a
little more intense. We intend TO
crush this thing, II II ever raises Its
head, that we already have fought and
licked"
Mr.. Galbralth also spoke OF the de-
sire of the Legion to unite with the
veterans associations OF the allies, In
order to promote international amity.
People accuse rs OF being over
enthusiastic" he said. They declare
that we believe ourselves TO be the
only patriots. God knows We are not.
II we were It would be a sorry day for
the nation. We know we have II hun
dred million associates and We ask
them TO help us because without their
good will and assistance We can ac-
complish nothing"

Better homes on the farms" is an
excellent slogan that is gaining tre-
mendOus impetus throughout the coun-
try. The old-tlme. lOng-accepted idea
that the farm home was merely a roof
and four walls Is losing a foothold
because of the development of the
building enterprise and individual am
bitiOn. The housewife has become
acquainted with the beauties and n
v%eniences of the city home and she In
sists that her nest shall be just as
modern as any. Moreover she has be-
come tired of the back-breaking
drudgery that kept her tied to the
limits of the house and made her work
ing day one long, endless, monotonous
grind.
The effect Is apparent in all sec
tons of the country. The farm home
is no longer subofdinated to the dairy

Yates Of Lead. s. D., declared In an
