had not been an ineXcuSaible blum
der by the Academy coach in the
last inning, and if the home nine
had played ball in the last inning
the result would have been differ
ent. The husky ball players from
Ambassador Harvey's alma mater
deserved the victory that only
came to them in the eleventh inn
ing if for no other reason than the
clever stealing of three bases by
one of the players, professional
stunt that never brought a cheer
from the local fans. The Peacham
aggregation had a loyal bunch of
fans with them that kept up the
courage of the players and they
left the campus with a smile. The
Peacham team had the jump on
the local nine from the start, get
ting six runs before the St. Johns
bury boys, some of whom were
naturally tired from the gruelling
events of the track meet, rot into
the game. Then there was good
rally and the score soon became in
teresting and continued so until
7.30 when is was all over. Clarence
H. Witty was the umpire on strikes
and it looked good to see this vet
eran pitcher so near the mound.

South Main street near the dry
bridge during baseball games, or at
any other time. This is one of the
most dangerous places in the road
near st. Johnsbury and Is no place
to have cars parked at any time.
On Saturday afternoon Edward
Moore of Peacham had stopped his
Ford car on the bridge to watch
the baseball game. A Chevrolet car
driven by Thomas A. Sykes of the
Caledonian- Record staff, was com
ing from Pasumpsic when he was
forced to make :: quick stop to
avoid striking the Moore car. As
Mr.. Sykes checked his speed big
Packard car driven by Woods
vile man smashed the front mud
guard of Mr.. Sykes car. The
Woodsville man did not stop but
his name was learned and he later
paid for all damages to the Sykes
car.
Chief of Police Finley made a
careful investigation Of the acct
dent and will have notices posted
at once preventing further park
ing of cars at this dangerous point
in the highway.

Slim" Hill Is Slab

needed a word to steady him, in
"Slim" would trot to the plate and
talk to him like a father. In the
ninth, when Lyndon threatened
to score, Captain "Slim" stepped
into the breach as Renihan,
thinking three men were out, just
tossed the ball in from the outfeld
and gave Hall a chance to live
at second. Hill cut in toward
the bag, caught Renihan's chuck
and snapped the sphere back to
Steve Doran, thus completing ID
heady bit of play.
With the exception of a very
excusable error on the part of
Steve Doran at second base, New
port played errorless ball in her
big objective game of the season.
Steve later redeemed himself
when he scampered over back of
third base and scooped up Cote's
wild peg, saving the latter bad
error and cutting off a sure score,
as "Tuff" Hill was preparing to
set sail for the plate.
1t was great school-boy game,
one of the best ever played in
Northern Vermont. A generous
turnout of fans witnessed the
contest and though disappointed
at Lyndon's loss, nevertheless
marveled at the good functioning
of both mines. Except for
Pierce's trio of boobies on the mi
tial sack, Lyndon gave twirler
Charlie Dwyer very good support.
Dick Prouty covered several
acres of ground in the vicinity of
the keystone cushion, nabbing
everything that came his way, and
contributing two hard singles in
four times up. Larry Gardner at
third and Buchanan at first play
ed very creditable games.
Lyndon's solitary tally came in
the second inning. Pierce poppel
out to Gardner. Roberts struck
out but Cote dropped the third
strike. The temporary inability
of the little Newport backstop to
hang onto "Slim's" speed, as he
steamed up, enabled Roberts to
continue his way around the
sacks unopposed.
Newport earned big tally in
the fifth, when Prouty singled
and was hammered in by Steve
Doran. Two more Border City
runs crossed the platter in the
sixth as a result of singles by
Captain Hill, and Bernard Cote,
mixed in with Dryers wild heave,
and a base on balls.
In the final frame, Renihan was
given a life at first when Pierce
dropped a throw. The Newport
right fielder then proceeded to
complete a theft of second and
scored all the way from that sack
on Litchfeld's hit to left.
In the fifth and sixth innings,
"Slim" Hill famed four men in
succession, V. Hill, Bean, A. Hill
and Bassett. The latter struck
out on every trip to the plate. The

WEDNESDAY, MAY 80, 1922

The usual disrespect for the
Star Spangled Banner was ev-
ident on Memorial Day. Either
through ignorance or careless
ness, pedestrians and specta-
tors failed to pay to the Am
erican flag the tribute it de-
serves.
Those who honored in a
proper manner the flag as it
passed by could be counted on
the fingers of both hands.
The flag approached and
people on the sidewalks gaz-
ed at it in idle curiosity. If
they were walking, they con-
tinued to walk. They did not
stop and uncover. If they were
standing on the street corners,
they just stood there and gave
no indication that any special
honor was due the American
flag even on Memorial day
when the nations mourns her
soldier dead.
If it is ignorance or care
lessness that causes men to
omit this duty to the flag, con-
ditions are indeed deplorable.
A few ex-servicc men in civil
ian clothes saluted from the
sidewalk as they used to in
the army--the regulation army
salute. This is wrong.
When one is in civilian
clothes and the flag passes by,
he should simply halt, stand
erect, and removing the hat or
cap, hold it against the left

when you learned that the Ar
mistice had been signed. :.
We should be thankful for life,
health and happiness. For the
