1t cannot exactly be called a

Immediately All day long on Mon
day Newport base ball magnates
have been scouting as well and
as thoroughly as such delicate
work may be done by mail and te-
legraph.
Things haven't been breaking
just right for the Newport boys
of late. Some of the fans feel
that a bunch of mighty good ball
players have not been putting out
a. good stuff rs the would be able
through more strenuous efforts.
The players themselves insist that
the breaks of the game have gone
against them and that there has
been no Stacking of speed. An
impartial Judge is forced to admit
that in spite of lost games there
has been some excellent playing,
A. a proof Of this they call atten-

fault could be found with the New

however, did not win this game.

MASSENA BIG
ATTRACTION
FOR FRIDAY
Fairbanks A. A. Has Busy
Schedule for Rest of
Week

Two games are scheduled for
the Campus this week. Newport
will play here tomorrow and the
next big game will be with Mas
sena, n. Y, on Friday afternoon
at 4.15. Massena boasts as fast,
if not faster, an aggregation of
ball players than Plattsburgh and
Saranac Lake. Coach Hoernle's
men are sure to get plenty Of
competition from the New y Yorkers
Friday
Massena's roster is composed
chiefly of college players, recruited
from the pick of the diamond ma
terlal developed this spring. Hav-
ing cleaned mp the leading mines
in their section of New York
state, the Massena management is
sending their choice collection of
diamond stars on an incursiOn in
to Northern Vermont. The visit
or, will hope to carry away the
scalps of the fastest teams in the
Green Mountain state.
The contests which are to be
played away from home by the
Fairbanks A. A. will be at Grove
ton, n. H., on Thursday, at Sher-
j brooke on Saturday and at Magog
or Sunday Games are practically
closed with Manager "Slats' Nc
Ginnis of the Burlington team for
next week.
A glance at the schedule of the
local, will at once convince any
skeptic that Manager Hoernlc IS
not taking his ball tossers on a
picnic. Thursday Groveton on her
own field will offer much stronger
opposition than she did here on
the Campus Friday. SO if the
locals are to keep their slate clean
they must hustle the rest Of the

THE LOG OF THE
YELLOWSTONE
YOUNG HIKERS
The Boss Hiker Tells of
the Start from st.
JOhnsbury

Supt. A. H. Dinsmore of the U.
S. Fish Hatchery, who is taking
a group of boys to the Yellow
stone National park, has promised
to write the Caledonian-Re Record
the story of the trip and the open
ing chapter is given below. Few
men more familiar with the ma
tional preserve then Mr.. Dins-
more and his letters will be full of
interest and information.
Editor Caledonian- Record,
While all the good St. Johns
bury people were sleeping this
morning we made a quiet and or
derly exit on the "air line. The
three st. Johnsbury "hikers" had
been joined the previous afternoon
by Theodore Grant from Portland
and our equipment stored in var
ious boxes, trunks and bags. The
outfit included eight galvanized
iron pack cans, made by the Goss
company, from the writer's design
for the Bureau of Fisheries and
the Park service and to be used to
back-pack fish to the mountain
streams of the park.
All moved smoothly until we
reached Richford, when one of our
Canadian cousins representating
the Royal Immigration service be-
come suspicious of such a gang of
boys attempting to cross the bor-
der. | explained that | was taking
the party thru Canada to reach
Yellowstone park. He insisted on
seeing the tickets, which have
yellowstone Park" written con-
spicously on each coupon. After
paving through all over for a con-
siderable period he said, "Where
is that place." When | assured
him that it was in the state of
Wyoming he finally decided to
chance letting US go through.
Just before reaching Montreal
we located Douglas Lakey, the
sixth member of the party who
had come through from Provi-
dence in the pullman. We had two
hours in Montreal after arranging
some baggage details. After
hasty bite at a lunch counter, this
was spent by the boys in trans
lating the quaint French signs
which appear in such abundance
around the city.
| see that we are going to be
a happy family. Two of the boys,

In spite of the fact that we
published over 3450 Caledon-
ian Records last, night, the
town was howling for the pap
er at 80 p. NJ, with not a
paper to be bought. Probably
more than 100 people were dis

did not get the regular paper
will profit by their experience
and order the paper left reg

A year ago this month the
average daily circulation of
the Caledonian-Record was
2789. Thus in a year the daily
average circulation of the Cal

remarkable jump of over 600
copies a day. These are actual
net paid sales. There is no free

here. The circulation gain is

The Caledonian-Record also
presents daily picture of the
live-wire merchandising done
in Northeastern Vermont. You
don't find the man who sit,
back and says Business i,

best advertisers said the other
day: "My business is % per
cent better than it was last
year This man is a go-gctter.
His store is always alive with
customers who come from all
parts of Northeastern Yer
mont. This is because his daily
advertising is read by over t.,
600 readers of the Calcdonian-
Record and because he adver-
tises goods that the public
wants at prices that are real
ones. Drop in al q we will tell
you about this advertising.

bury to Run On Demo-
cratic Ticket -

1t is a cold day, Sundays except

nounce himself as a candidate for
the office of high sheriff of Gale
donia county. Five citizens of St.

ingness to serve, in the pjrson Of

Sprague, one fine Legion Ma
tlonal Rehabilitation commission
members, in a letter to Brig. Gen.
Charles Edward Sawyer, personal
physician to President Harding
and chief co-ordinator of the Fed
eral Board of Hospitalization
charges that Gen. Sawyer is stand
ing in the way OF the proper care
for wounded and sheil-shot veter-
ans. Col. Spraguc said that more
than 4,500 mental cases are still
confined in contract institutions,
and that of the remaining 4,715
victims of mental disorders, only
$500 are in government institu-
tions devoted entirely to their
care.
Re plying to the charge that he
was "penurious and mercenary"
Gen. Sawyer said, God forbid that
a dollar should ever be considered
in comparison with the results we
are seeking for the wounded war
veterans, but let me say, never
theless, that it was our duty to op-
pose wastefulness and senseless
expenditure wherever it was found
possible to do So"

A reminder to speeding
automobilists is a small
grave on the road between
St. Johnsbury Center and
Lyndonville, outlined with
white stones and decorated
with daisies. \ rough board
slab lettered carefully with
childish hands bears this IN
scription: dolly Sherry,
dog, killed July IS, 1922 In
one corner appears the name
of "Dolly's" mistress, Ellen
Sherry.
Each day fresh flowers are
placed on the grave and
they are carefully watered
by the broken-hearted mis-
tress. The decorations vary.
Some days Miss Ellen places
a cross of daisies on her dogs
last resting place and again
her fancy dictates a wreath
or a sheaf of daisies.

the machine. Linn was taken to a

plants with resulting unemploy-
ment, lationing of fuel, and food
supplies and the crippling of pub
lice utility service would inevitably
result. Steel plants. especially IN
the East will be closed on whole
sale scale if present conditions
continue until August, according
to the head of a large steel cor
poration.
The close relationship to trans
portation which the strike was as-
suming was seen in the statement
of Harry Ben Trumbower of the
Wisconsin railroad commission
that if the coal strike lasted an
additional two weeks rail trans
portation in that state would be
at a standstill
Official Washington still main
tains silence, but it was confidently
expected that President Harding
would begin action to end the
shopmen's strike during the week.
Hopes for immediate peace were
centered in the meeting today of
the officials Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad with representatives
of the strikers. The success in
settling differences on that road
would probably mean that other
roads would take a similar course.
Existing 9mbargoes on freight
have caused / shortage of COM
modities in several cities and lack
of transportation has reduced tho
supply in a few lines.
WORCESTER, Mass, July 25-
The police detail has been in creas-
ed at both the Boston and Maine
and Boston and Albany yards as
the result of an attack on General
Foreman Morgan and Fuel Agent
Brown of the Boston and Maine
railroad by alleged strike sympat-
hizers, who showered them with
stones. The officers made a dill
gent search for the assailants but
they made their escape.

The emergency coal plan was in
