yesterday. and while as it turned out
that the game could have been played, at
the time the Northampton lads should
have left for Brattleboro the weather
conditions were anything but favorable
and had they been allowed to come along
the overcast sky would have kept the at
tendance down to so small a number that
the management would have been in the
hole.
If dates can be arranged, and they
probably can be, the fans will have an
opportunity to see northampton here at
a later date, weather permitting, and the
boys hope that il will not storm every
Sunday for the rest of the season.

Pitch for TT. Drummer.
The results of Saturdays games, when
the S. A. Smith Mfg. Co. defeated Fort
drummer, 8 to ,, and Fort Drummer in
turn trimmed the Last & Wood Heel Co,
to ), tied the local league up rather
tight, and from now on the fight should
be hot and heavy with the team playing
the best ball coming through the winner.
Up to these games the Lasters had
been in the lead with a decided adyau-
tage, but the situation has undergone Il
big change and at present any one of
the four teams can cop the bunting, for
at the present writing the Lasters have
a margin of only one-half a game over
the other three teams. Dropping the
game to Fort Dummer Saturday leaves
them with percentage of 800 with the
other teams all standing even at 500.
The games Saturday were interesting
but were not so close and snappy as last
weeks contests, and while some of the
fans seemed to enjoy the regrettable sit
uatiOn which occurred in the fifth inning
of the second game it was not all that

for. However, accidents happen in the
best regulated families.
This incident could not Overshad0w
the bright spots of the games which broke
through at times showing the fans some
real baseball. The work of Austin play
ing at short for Fort Dummer was par
ticularly brilliant, one piece of work in
the opening inning of the second game
being a stop and peg off hard hit
grOunder off Kennedy that had class
written all over it. 1t was the real fea-
tUre play of the day. In the third inning
of the second game he retired all three
batters, getting the first two on short
flies to the outfeld, throwing the third
man out at first after pretty stop.
Morrill, of Fort Drummer also turned in
feature plays, gathering in lifts to the
Outfield that looked to be sure hits. His
catch in the last inning of the second
game without a doubt saved trouble as
there was a runner on second when he
made the catch in deep right field, com
plotting double play by throwing to
second, ending the game

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-Under the
auspices of The Daily Mail a mammoth

February IA, at the Olympia Exhibi-

and wide interest has been aroused
throughout England by the efficiency
campaign.
1t is noted that many firms exhibit

efficiency movement as "a spurious.

Matter of Correct Analysis
Success would be a matter of correct
analysis, IN accordance with engineer
ing experience. At present the public
press displays great confusion on the
subject, now much discussed on ac-
couns of the falling price of wheat.
ne writer has discussed the subject
wltnln recent months with growers, ex-
perts OF agricultural colleges and eX-
pertinent stations, commission mer-
chants and millers in the two large
wheat growing areas of our country.
NO one Is able to make computation
as to the cost of production of wheat
IN the last crop, because no one has
carried out the Investigations upon
"hlch alone cost sheet could be
erected.

larry under abnormal circum stances.
the operations of these almost ayio-
matte principles depends upon Il great
many modifying influences and circum-

During the war we attempted to de-

basic commodities. The Wheat Fair /

Laryngaphone Is Latest
Britons Place Transmitter TO
Throat Instead of Mouth

LONDON, March PA new tele-
phonlc device already in actual use in
England is the laryngaphone, trans
mltter IN which disk is placed against
the throat of the speaker and the
sound is transmitted by the vibration
Of the vocal cords. 1t is suitable for
use in noisy factories and workrooms
where the ordinary telephone mouth
piece transmitter would pick up the
other sounds in the room and so pre-
vent, conversation. In appearance the
laryngaphone resembles the ordinary
telephone except that there is smooth
rounded rubber disk instead of
mouthpiece. The receiver is the same
and the messages are received in the
ordinary speaking voice.
