SIX TEAM
BALL LEAGUE
IS PROPOSED
Meeting Called for Forming
Organization In North
eastern Vermont

Prospects of very successful base
ball season in Northeastern Vermont
appear extremely bright. The talk
of the formation of a league for this
section of the state has served to in
iect new enthusiasm into the "fans''
and if such league becomes a reali-
ty every baseball town from Woods
vile to Newport may look forward
to the best season ever experienced,
Cold water has been poured on the
proposition from some quarters but,
as far as can be learned, the ma
jority are enthusiastic and anxious
for such league to be organized.
Action must be taken soon because
with the approach of warm weather
the various managers are busying
themselves in preparing aggregations
to take the field The sooner things
get going, the better. Tentative
plans call for league of six teams
to include Woodsville, St. Johnsbury,
Lyndonvile, Barton, Orleans and
Newport. This would make an ideal
league and assure consistent interest
in the game throughout the summer
Each one of these places is easily
accessible and the expenses of all OF
the teams would be materially lessen
ed, thus cutting down the chances of
any team losing money as many of
them did last season.
A meeting of the leaders of these
r, aNynaa+ol m ba hold in Ct
Johnsbury the latter part of this week
when the question will be thraShcd
out. It is proposed to elect presi-
dent Of the league, to have full power
over the six teams. The chief eXecu-
tive will in all probability have an
advisory board to assist him. A limit
as to the number of players each
team may employ, will be established,
but permission will be given to re-
place a player whU is injured at any
time during the season. The names
of every player in the league will be
in the hands of the president and
any acquisition must be agreeable to
the president This is just a brief
outline of the plan as proposed.
Many changes and additions may be
made at the session to be held later.
Charles Hoernle, player-managcr
of the Fairbanks A. A. team has de-
cared himself in favor of the propo-
sition. He agrees that there may be
some difficulty in getting organized
but believes if an executive can be
elected and given full charge, and a
strict set of rules raid down and adj
hered to the LEAGUE will work to the
ADVANTAGE of all concerned.

GREAT CROWDS
AT CHURCHES
ON EASTER
Summer Weather Brings
Out Many Pretty Gowns
Ahead of Usual Season

From the hour when the ringing
of the Angclus at Notre Dame pro-
claimed Easter morn until the clos
ing services Sunday night, the
churches Of ST. Johnsbury were
thronged with worshippers. Rain
which threatened in the morning held
off until after the last services and
clear skies smiled on the Easter APP
parel. The summer-like day called
for the doffing of winter clothes and
the stores had anticipated an early
call for the pretty garb of spring. In
this they were not disappointed and
the new colors, which belong eXclu-
sivcly to this spring season were
much in evidence in the throngs that
poured out of the churches. Hats of
jade green, Harding blue and
Coolidge red, harmoniZed with the
ever popular grays, and henna still
showed its popularity among the
new colors. Light-colored wraps and
suits of gray mingled with the dark
blues and other conservative colors.
Easter had been anticipated more by
the children, perhaps than the grown
ups, so far as summer clothes were
concerned and the little tots were as
gay as birds in their new plumage.
Elaborate preparations had been
made for their Observance of the
day and in flower bc-decked churches
they caroled and sang forth their
joy in the happy season.
ST. ANDREWS EPISCOPAL
The beautiful flowers which deco

awonderful manner and howed the
thorough training they have had
under the direction of Mrs. Charles
Cousens, ably assisted by Mrs. Her
bert Davis, Miss Bertha Gibb, Mrs.
Herbert Blake, Mrs. Ralph Fairbanks
and others.
The Main ST. Baptist church is
more than a Baptist church, it is a
real community Christian church,
seeking to do good to all who come
within its radius
To casual visitor, the scene was
thrilling, these hundreds of people,

day Unsuccessful to
Wait for Low Water

Efforts of several hundred people,
who followed the ent,rc course Of
Sleepers River and the Passumpsic
River as far as the Electric Light
Station dam, in search OF the body Of
little Harold LeVasseul, who was
drowned in the former stream week
ago, were unreWarded Sunday. The
belief is held today inat everything
possible has been done to find the
body and that the only thino now to
DO Is to wait until the water in both
rivers lowers before further search is
made. Every spot where the body
could have become caught and lodged
has been investigated and it is felt
certain that the body was carried
through to the Passumpsic and per-
haps great distance down that
stream.
The sympathy of the community
has gone out to the stricken parents
of the child and the large crowds that
have gathered along the river day
after day attests TO the interest
shown in the endcavor to locate the
body and thus, in a small measure, re-
lieve the grief of Mr.. and Mrs. Levas-
seu'.
Fire Chief Robert Johnston, who
has been one of the leading figures
in the hunt ever since the day the boy
fell in, was on the job Saturday af-
ternoon and after going down into
the water twice turned the divers
suit over to Ernest Brown, who
made several trips below the surface.
Again Sunday morning the chief,
with a crew of helpers, including
regular fremcn and call men, were at
the river to resume operations.
Members of the American Legion,
Company D and other organizations
took part in the search.
