CARS IN CRASH
AT FOOT OF
HASTINGS HILL
A Massachusetts Woman
Thrown Out On Way
To Newport

Several automobile accidents
took place about ST. Johnsbury on
Monday afternoon but no one was
injured seriously. One woman fell
from car that was in collision
and was bruised.
w. Z. Riley, cashier of the Lyn-
donville National bank, was on his
way to St. Johnsbury at 4.3O yes
terday afternoon in his Hudson
car. He had crossed Hastings
bridge just above the Plymouth
Creamery and the railroad tracks
when Massachusetts car with the
license No. 248135, bound from
Springfield, Mass, to Newport,
came along on the other side of the
road, Mr. Riley says he kept to his
side of the road but that the Mass
achusetts driver swung suddenly in
front of him and the cars crashed.
Mr.. Riley's car struck the Buick
car from Massachusetts Just in
front of the engine. The impact
threw open the door of the Buick
car and the drivers wife was
thrown to the ground. She received
a severe shaking up and was at
tended by DR.. T. II, Stiles.
Deputy Sheriff Richardson came
upon the scene Just after the acci-
dent and while the cars were still
interlocked. Measurements showed
that the Massachusetts car had 18
feet on its side of the road and
that Mr. Riley was well on the
right side Of the road when the
cars came together. 1t appeared as
if the Massachusetts, driver had in
tended to turn into the old road
to st. JohnsbuIy Center instead of
keeping to the right and crossing
the railroad tracks. The two cars
were badly damaged and were TAX
en- to garages for repairs.
Another accident of minor i'm
portancc occurred Monday evening
as Harry Labarsky was backing
out of the Summerville Garage in
Buick car. A Chcvolet machine
from Concord approached and col
,lded with Mr.. Larbarsky'S car, da-
maging them both to a consider
able extent.

George C. Bell, of Methodist
Hill, in Lunenburg, whose
word is everywhere as good as
his bond, is responsible for this
story and these measurements
taken after last Friday after
Moons storm.
1t was an excessively hot
day. There was a continuous
sound of thunder and a roar
ing as of high wind all the af-
ternoon, with no rain until af-
ter 5 o'clock. From $50 to 3.45
there was a hail storm in the
north part of the town, after
which Mr.. Bell, had a chance

TEAM AND DRIVER
BADLY SMASHED
ATLUNENBURG
Judge Kyle Browns Car
Was Returning Home
from Montpelier

What narrowly escaped being a
very serious accident occurred just
a5 Judge Kyle 7. Browns car was
nearing home in Lunenburg village
Monday evening.
As the car neared the Brown
residence, there was some difficulty
with the lights. AS the car turned
to the side of the road, the driver,
Lawrence Dodge, was blinded by
the glare of the lights OF another
car that was approaching.
Dodge turned his car to the 9th
er side of the road and in doing so
ran into a team driven by John
Walker
Mr.. and Mrs. Walker were
thrown out and Mr. Walkers arm
was badly sprained and he was
otherwise badly bruised. Mrs.
Walker escaped with minor inJur-
les. The horse was unhurt, but the
carriage was demoralized. Mr..
Walker said he had a light on the
dasher, but that it was out of
commission when the auto hit
them.
Judge Brown was returning
from Montpelier and in the car
with him, besides the driver, were
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. B. Brown. The
occupants of the car escaped un-
injured. The car whose lights
seemed to have caused the trouble
did not stop and its number was
not obtained.

TWO WEEK END
VICTORIES FOR
SHERBROOKE
Granai HurIs Both Games
-SherbrOOke Hits
Terrifcally

"Connie" Granai, the locals pop
ular slab artist, performed the
"iron man" trick over the week end
and the local nine cnalked up two
more victories to their credit. In
fact. Granai was in fine fettle. He
outpitched Weafer, the Saranac
Lake moundsman to win merry
duel over the visitors bv the close
,count of 3 runs to 2 on Saturday
afternoon, while yesterday he clip
ped the Boston Tigers claws 50
short that they resembled d flock
of sheep.
However, Granai's twirling was
not the only feature of the week
end attractions at the local ball
yard After batting slump the pre-
vious week end, the locals came
back strong with the stick. They
clouted the old horsehide at OPP
perfume times in Saturdays COM
bat, while yesterday they let loose
regular bombardment, finally
knocking Crudup, the Boston Ii
gers ace tWirler, out OF the box.
In fact the local artists all fatten-
ed their batting averages, home
runs, three baggers and two bag
gers being registered during the
days proceedings.

unquestionably the best baseball
game seen on the local diamond
during the course of the present
season, and only one error was

Sherbrooke took the lead in the
very fist inning when Savage dou-
bled to right amt came home on
Landry's single. The visitors got
out of an awkward position when
they pulled off a double play, Andy
Jenkins forcing Landry at second
and being thrown out himself at
first.
Saranac Lake cvcned up matters
in the second inning. Cochrane
singled to left and came home on
Santorio's long hit to center field.
Conlin grounded to jenkins at first
and Santorio tried to make home
but was cut short by perfect peg

way for another run in the third
inning. He was first man up and
brought home by Charters single

LACK OF GAMES
NEWPORT CLUB
WILL DISBAND
Players Scatter to All
Parts of Country to
Attend College

The management of the New
port base ball team have decided
to disband the team. TINS decision
Was reached yesterday, and was
auived at with considerable re-
gret. 1t seems, however, the only
practical thing to do. All last
week the wires were kept busy in
vain efforts to book games with
anv teams within travelling dis
tance. The story was about the
same in all instances all teams
have made an extra effort to wind
u} the season with as many games
as possible so that the Newport
management found it practically
impossible to find any open dates
uEon which they could bring fast
ag2regations to the home field.
The decision to discontinue the
Newport team was therefore
reached wholly because of the i'm
possibility of booking games. 1t
is greatly regretted in all quarters,
especially since the boys have been
hitting such a swift pace and
sweeping everything before them.
Orc recalls that in about four
weeks time Newport has been de
feated but once and that by the
Saranac Lake team by small
margin.
The boys are already packing
and preparing to go their different
ways. Poll, who has done such
effective slab work all the season,
is going to finish the base ball sea-
sol by twirling for Plattsburg, N.
Y. Wallie Kopf, star third base
man, also leaves Immediately for
Plattsburg. Wallie will go to
dartmouth this winter and next
spring will see him join the
Brooklyns when they start on
their southern training trip.
Brainy Bower left Newport last
week, and after visiting his home
will take a position for the win
ter in Fitchburg, Mass, as teacher
and athletic instructor at the high
school. Fitchburg high has put
out some extremely fast basket
ball and football teams, and with
"Brainy" on the job it is probable
that they will jump into base ball
prominence next spring.
Hastings is going back to Mid
dlcbury this winter, and Nicora,
who halls from Barre, is not yet
quite certain whether this winter
will find him at Dartmouth or New
Hampshire State college. East
burn leaves this week for his home
in Philadelphia, and Nels Browne
will hit the trail for Barre. a

VOTERS CLUB
AT NEWPORTFOR
MAYOR LINDSAY
Will Be Candidate for
City Representative
In Legislature

After several conferences held
by members of the Voters club
they have chosen Mayor w. C.
Lindsay as their choice.
There is no man in political life
in Northern Vermont who has so
quickly sprung into prominence
and done so, not by any trickery
o. political tactics, but by merely
pre- senting issues to the public
which demanded serious consider
alton from the voters and were
based on the soundest logical
easCning.
In consenting to be a candidate,
Mayor Lindsay wishes the voters
to understand clearly that he not
presume to be any better fitted to
represent the city of Newport
than a great many other voters,
hut that he has the interests of
Newport at heart and he feels
that, in representing Newport, he
will be able to further carry out
the important work already start
ed by him as Mayor.
The Voters Club believe that in
Mayor Lindsay they have a man
ably qualified to serve and a man
who if elected, will bring credit
and honor to the City of New
pert.
The following letter indicates
Mayor Lindsay's acceptance to
be the Voters Club candidates:
My Dear President Buck;
In the last few days I have
been modestly importuned by a
number of the members of your
Club to become a candidate for
representative in the General As
scmbly for our city under your
auspices in the coming primary
nominations.
In each case | have expressed
qualification and said that it
seemed to me that the city of
Newport had done very well by
ne, in placing me in the office of
mayor, and that | should not
reasonably expect additional hon
ors at this time, at least.
However, ! am forced to admit
