THE sEA-GULL's STORY.

THE SEA-GULL'S STORY.
Yes sir, one old sea-gull knew
whore the new island was.
Il happened to)be hunting for my
dinner" said he land was just about
to dip my beak under the waves
where ] saw a shiny little fish. when
suddenly there WAS a roar and n
bang and the water shot up like a
porch-pillar, only higher. and
drenched me completely. 1 thought
for moment that 1 was gone. but
when / came to my senses there 1
was lying high and dry on some
brand new rocks. No, 1 wasn't dry
either was very wetI But I was
alive and that was enough. The sun
soon dried my wings and was able
TO fly away, but l was dreadfully
puzzled about the whole affair. for
such a strange thing had never hap
pened 20 me before. Do you know
anything about it?"

A. L. Bragg In
Collision On Rridoe

Turning out to avoid collision
with a Ford car, driven by Joseph
Costa, son of Dominic Costa of St.
Johnsbury, A. l.. Bragg well
known lumber dealer, swerved his
Ford machine too far to the right
on the Iron Bridge near the St.
Johnsbury Center Railroad station.
AS result the car struck the rail-
ing and turned completely over,
smashing the windshield and dam
aging the top of the car. Mr.. Bragg
who was driving alone, was unin-
iured although he received a shak-
ing up. Both machines, it is said,
were driving cautiously.
Owing to the fact that repairs
are being made on the bridge near
the Plymouth creamery all vehicles
must make a detour and in order to
get onto the main road must cross
the Iron Bridge at the center. Mr..
Bragg was enroute to st. Johns
bury when the accident happened.
He. stated that he feared Costa
would collide with him and he turn
ed sharply to avoid a crash. Assist
ance was giver and Mr.. Bragg
was able to proceed with his car.

STRIKE AT

Vermont and New Hamp-

to Keep Order

The strike of the workmen of
the International Paper Co. at
Bellows Falls assumed serious pro-
portions Monday noon when a
crowd of nearly 1000, including
women as well as men, succeeded
in preventing the Champlain Real
ty Co. from bringing some strike
breakers into town.

truck loads of equipment who were

lately caused the church and school
bells to ring and a large crowd
gathered. The trucks were mot mo-
Tested, however, and proceeded to
their destination.
Durin0 the forenoon a parade of
several hundred persons occurred
in both villages, one feature of
which was a truck carrying sew
eral persons with a banner inscrib-
ed: "Strike on. Keep away from
Bellows Falls and North Walpole,
N. H."
When the seven cars containing
the workmen reached the state line
a mob of nearly 1000 met them
and though the cars were protect
ed by Adjutant General Johnson,
Sheriff Wellman and numerous
deputies the crowd surrounded the
cars and it was impossible for
them to proceed after crossing the
Vermont line. No shots were fired,
but much profanity was used and
there was considerable roughhouse.

shire regiment was among the Of

WITTY LEADS
TEAM MATES
In HITTING
Averages Show Local
Hurler Is Setting Pace
for Fairbanks

Despite the fact that the Fair
banks A. A. base ball club has
won all of it's engagements since
the successful reorganization OF
the team, heavy hitting has been
an absent feature except IN the
week end matinee with Bethlehem,
N. H. when the locals pounded the
horsehide with telling effect. Six
teen safe cracks were gathered IN
this contest against four in the
Island Pond fracas and SIX of
Shelton at Newport.
The st. Johnsbury ball players
have made 40 for their weakness
at bat by fielding in a sensational
manner. A glance at the present
lineup or the box score would
convince the most skeptical fan OF
Manager, Charlie Hoernle's ability
as a scout. His trip to Boston
two weeks ago was productive.
With the $1,000 or more raised by
the business and professional men
of the village, Coach Hoernle was
able to pick up some excellent ma
terial and st. Johnsbur-- may look
forward to some fine ball games
this summer.
Although he has figured in but
one game since the rejuvenated
aggregation took the field, Clar-
ence Witty, star young local hurler,
is setting the pace for his team
mates in the stick work. The aver
ages. compiled by the Caledonian-
Record, prove that the clever little
spit baller is swinging mean will
low. In four trips to the plate on
Saturday Witty connected safely
on three occasions, giving him a
batting percentage of .750. His
fielding average is perfect.

HATTSBURC AND
BARRE FORCED TO
POSTPONE GAMES
Fairbanks A. A. to Play
Only Two Contests
This Week

Two games, both of them i'm
portant ones, have been knocked
off the Fairbanks A. A. schedule
for this week and as a result the
fans will have an opportunity only
to see two contests.
Through some misunderstanding
regarding the services of star
pitcher for the occasion the Barre
base ball team has been forced TO
call a postponement of its contest
with the st. Johnsbury outfit which
was scheduled to be played at
Barre this afternoon. The fracas
will be staged at a later date. The
postponement of the battle would
indicate that the Barre boys are
highly respectful of the ability Of
the scale town athletes.
The game of games that the
local supporters looked forward to
with Plattsburg here on Friday
has been cancelled. The manage
ment of the New York "nine" wir-
ed Manager Hoernle that in view
of the fact that his team must
play off a league game on that
date it would be impossible for the
team to play here as agreed. He
asked that a future date be named
and Coach Hoernle will send him
some of the open dates to select
from.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Fair
banks ball tossers stack up against
the Barton town team, an aggre-
cation that has always proved a
tough proposition for ST. Johns
bury. Many fans will remember
the thrilling contest between these
two teams last season when the
home town boys just nosed out
their competitors by the margin of
one run. It was a shut out victory
70. Clarence Witty, but the young
ster was forced to travel AT a fast
clip to put over the win. 1t was an
interesting twirler's luel between
Wit and Murphy. The st. Johns
bury hurler allowed six hits while
Muiph yielded only five.
The game went 10 innings be-
fore the locals gathered up sufi-
cient punch to put over the Win
ming score. Barton's one and big
chance to score in the ninth with
the bases crammed was shifted out
on a fast play, Freeman TO Hoernle
