NORTHAMPTON TEAM
HERE TOMORROW
Will Play Athletics on Valley Fair
Grounds at 3.15-Guy johnson
TO Twill for BrattlebOrO.

The Brattleboro Athletics have booked
another team from the great and glorious
state Of Massachusetts, Northampton. for
tomorrow, and right now seems to be
good time to mention that the team that
* coming from Hamp is not the one that
was up here recently. This outfit is rep
reSenting the Knights of Columbus and
from all reports they have Il whirlwind
aggregation. The fans may rest as
sured that northampton is taking no
chance In sending up any makeshift team,
for one experience with such and the
Athletics was quite enough.
Whether the lads from 'Hamp are
looking for revenge or to show the fans
up here that they really have some ball
players down there has not been deter
mined but the manager of the NOrthamp-
ton team is extremely anxious to come
and says its to square themselves with
the sports and at the same time to give
the locals q good game.
Among the ball tOSsers from North
amptOn are some of the Springfield In
duStral league players of last year. Shep-
pGrd. playing the field, was with the Fl
beroid team. Lynch and Dunn were with
Milton Bradley outfit and are now tied
to the Catholic university. as is Mahoney,
who plays ccnterield. Claire. Trueshaw
and Bozzo are Industrial league players.
| Coleman is high school pitcher who has
| been tWiHing some wonderful ball this
| year and claims to be able to set the Ath-
| Ietics on their ears. OF course there are
| two sides to every story and the locals
| idea of the matter varies considerably
| from Colemans. but whether he succeeds
or not is another story which will be pub
| liShed later.
| The Athletics have made changes that
without Il doubt will greatly strengthen
the team. At least they are made witt
that intention. and while the team has
been fairly strong up to the present time
it will be at least 20 per cent stronger

CANS OF PUTTY THE CAUSE
OF WAREH0USE-FIRE PROBE
Explosions Firemen Heard in Plant
Caused by BURSTING Pines


Two small cans that had contoinod
putty. found during fire in the cotton
ana yarn ware house Of Nathan Schwab
q Sons, Berks and Mascher streets.
iast wednesday, prompted an investiga
ton, the results of which became known
today 1t was determined that the
cans. or their contents, had nothing
to do with the spread of the flames.
which damaged the warehouse TO the
extent of several thousand dollars. The
putty cans had been left in the ware
house by workmen who had been plac-
ing glass in the windows.
The fire started on the first floor O,
the two story building about O'Clock
IN the evening. Firemen fighting the
names in the cotton waste threw bales
OF the material into the street. The
fire. checked by Il sprinkler system.
was thought to have been extinguished
and the fire engines left about 10
o'clock.
Fifteen or twenty minutes later tho
FIR" broke out on the second floor OF the
warehouse. and another alarm was
sounded. 1t is thought the blaze OF
the second floor was caused by a spark
from the burning yarn that had been
thrown in the street As the firemen
arrived at the place the second time
several explosions were heard. The
investigation showed that these reports
were caused by bursting water pipes
in the sprinkler system, which hao
been turned off by the tircmpn when
they left the place at 10 o'clock.

THE result of our investigation, he
said" shows that while the employer
has good arguments to reduce wages,
the cmploye cannot take the wage re-
ductions at this time. It is imperative
that the wage Garner and employer get
together to discuss ail phases Of the
situation.
'"Thc investigation shows that staple
articles have not been reduced. Bread,
butter, coal. milk, ETC.. are just as
high as ever. While clothing has come
down it Is not an important item to
the workman. Now. while these staple
articles are up the employer asks his
men to take the reductions. The work
