GIANTSLOSE
TO NEWPORT
BY 6-3 SCORE
Bowers One Hand Catch
of Liner Sensation
of Game

The undertaking, fun provoking
colored Cleveland Giants went
down to defeat yesterday at Gaines
Park before the Newport Boys to
the tune of six to three. Newport
played good ball and at no stage
of the game was there any doubt
but what they were masters of the
situation. The sky clouded up dur
ing the last half of the game and
while the rain held off, there was a
suggestion of the darkness which
prevented d little more snappy
work and accounted for few er-
rors on each side.
The sensational feature of the
game was a magnificent catch by
Bower of d hot liner from Cum
ningham's bat. 1t looked like a safe
hit to everybody until Bowers lone
left hand barely reached the ball
and stopped its fight through
space, much to the qualification of
the fans.
The game opened by Polli strik-
ing out Fuller Frazier then flied
out to Browne, after which Camp
bell was passed, stole second, and
came home on Jackson's hit. The
side was retired by Brownies nail
ing Russels hit.
When Newport came to the bat
in the first both Hastings and
Bower hit, both stole a base and

NOT BELIEVED
TRAINMEN TO STRIKE

CHICAGO, June 28-The ulti-
matum sent by B. M. Jewell, head
of the Railroad Employees depart
ment of the American Federation
of Labor, to Dewitt Cuyler, chair
man of the Association of Railway
executives, that the 100000 shop
men on the railroads would go on
strike unless the decision of the
Railroad Labor board was ignored,
and the present rate of wages was
maintained, was met today by 81
lence on the mart of the railroad
managers. There is little indication
that the ultimatum will be esrious-
ly considered. None of the big four
brotherhoods are expected to be
affected by the wage reduction on
July l and there is believed to be
little likelihood of the trainmen
joing in a general strike.

HENRY 0'MALLEY
Tells of the Fish and Mos
quitOes in the Alaskan
Waters

About a score of the friends OF
Henry O'Malley, now at the head
of the Bureau of Fisheries at
Washington, rendered him com
plimentary luncheon at the Elks
Home Tuesday noon and listened
with gerat interest after the din
ner to an informal talk on some of
his experiences in Alaskan waters.
The reception was rendered him by
the officers of the Caledonia For
est and STRAIN Club and some of
the Elks as Mr.. O'Malley is the
Past Exalted Ruler of the Oregon
City lodge.
Mr.. O'Malley prefaced his re-
marks by saying that while he was
a legal voter in Seattle and an Of
ficial resident of Washington, he
should ALWAYS consider St. Johns
bury as his home and that it was
great pleasure to meet on this oc-
casion his old friends. He spoke al
most entirely of his various trips
to Alaska, mostly in company with
Dr. Gilbert, the well known icthyo-
logist of the Leland Stanford uni
versity at Palo Alto, Cal. He said
that cities like Dawson and many
others had shrunk thousands in
population since the gold craze,
owing partly to the high cost of
labor and to the fact that the
price of gold remained at fixed
standard.

Fairbanks Players Fatten
Up Batting Averages
at Poor Game

"The slaughter of the innocents"
would be kindly caption to the
baseball game at the Campus
Tuesday afternoon when Fair
banks A. A, defeated a team from
Littlcton, n. H., by the score of
% to 4. A crowd of 200 fans,
more than the game deserved, saw
a team of players who looked like
schools boys, trampled, thumpcd
and walloped by the home team
until it became tircsomc pro-
ceedings.
We owe apologies to the fans
for heralding d revival of baseball
at our old time neighborly rival
Littlcton. They will have to take
these kids home and put them into
the incubator and leave them for
few years TO grow up. About
five o. ten years of constant play
ing might develop this team so
that they would appear well
against the Summcrvillc team of
the Sunset league.
The box score tells the story of
the game. TO tell how the Fair
banks team got its runs would be
to fill a column Of space with dc
tails of smashing hits to all parts
of the field. Littlcton tried out
two pitchers, Collins and Nerno,
and each was equally bad. If they
had anything on the ball except
the cover it was not discernible to
the home team.

Mrs. Arthur l. Stevens and
Mrs. Jonas H. Brooks entertain
cd a large number Of friends and
neighbors at a lawn party at the
home of Mrs. Stevens Tuesday af-
ternoon from a to 6. The charm
ing grounds offered just the right
setting and perfect weather con-
ditions added the necessary touch
to the gathering. Mrs. Stevens
and Mrs. Brooks received on the
lawn with little Misses Mary
Brooks and Betty Ruiter greeting
the guests at the door. Marjorie,
the small daughter of. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stevens, was also on the en-
tertaining committee.
The grounds with their luXuli-
ant growth of flowers were no
lovelier than the interior of the
house where cut flowers were used
in abundance. The parlor with
its wonderful landscape paper
dating back to 1920, was decorated
in pink roses and pink sweet Will
liams, the color best suited to the
gray walls. The dining room was
decorated with peonies, and peo-
nes and roses were used in the
other rooms of the old Colonial
house.
The guests were served in sthe
dining room by Misses Helen
Ross, Margaret Brooks, Jean Rus
sell and Gladys Williams, with

.LYNDONVlLLE
WINS FROM
ISLAND POND
2 to | Victory for Fast
Travelling Home
Players

Lyndonville won from Island
Pond in a game at Victory Field
Tuesday afternoon, the score being
Lyndonville ?, Island Pond /. The
game failed to develop any eXcit-
ing situations. There were a few
hard hits but most of the game
consisted of easy fielding chances,
circus catch of Rublec'S hit by
Waterman in the eighth being
about the only thing out of the
ordinary.
Island Pond got but four hits
off Kelley but SpIinkling of cr-
ror, by Lyndonville kept the Wis
tor~ in the game and the score
was a l to tie when Lyndonville
went to bat in their half of the
ninth. Daley drove a high fly to
right and stretched it into a
double by fast running, Gilman
pasted out a single and the game
was won with no one out.
Rublce got Lyndonvillc's first
run in the sixth, getting first on a
single. Kelley drove a terrific swat
clear to the river bank in right
and set sail for home run but
Tcnney clawed the ball out Of the
bushes and it was rclayed to the
plate in time to get Kel on close
play, Rublec scoring.
Rooney was credited with Island
Ponds only run. With two out he
hit to Gilman who made wild
hcavc to first and the runner was
safe. King tap to Rublce was
fumbIed a little pnd' tossed 20 Da-
ley wide and Jerry dropped it.

circumstances, the Border Base
Ball League.
That these four towns will join
in the formation of a league is
now an assured fact, and it be-
comes certainty that the future
of base ball in Northeastern Yer
mont and Sherbrooke is going to
be healthy beyond a possibility of
doubt. 1t is regarded as fortu-
nate both for these towns and for
the national game in this section
that this league is under way.
The meeting elected the follow
ing officers; President, John A.
Prouty of Newport; vice presi-
dent, Charles Hoernle Of St,
Johnsbury;; secretary, Stephen G.
Newton of Sherbrooke and treas
urer, Charles l.. Stuart of Lyn-
donville. Delegates elected were
James McCarten of Newport, Mar
tin Redman of Sherbrooke,
\ Charles Hoernle of St. Johnsbury
and Charles L. Stuart of Lyndon
vile.
The various matters relating to
the conduct of the league were
discussed at length, and while
many arrangements were but ten
tative, agreements definite enough
to assure the success of the cause
were reached. The president of
the league with the four delegates
will be final arbitors in all dis
putes. 1t is probable that each
team manager will settle directly
with his visiting manager regard
ing the matter Of guarantees, it
being deemed that the guarantee
should in some measure fit the eX
pcnses incurred by travelling, so
that, for instance, st. JohnsbuIy
will not have to pay Lyndonville
as large a sum, for playing on st.
Johnsbury's grounds as she would
have to pay Sherbrooke. Each
team playing will furnish an UNI
pire, unless in the case of New
port and St. Johnsbury, the hot
spirit Of rivalry makes it seem ad-
visable to secure neutral men.
Much of the time during the
meeting was taken up in figuring
IA schedule for playing. Each town
and team was favored in every
possible way regarding their pre-
ferenccs for dates and after much
juggling a schedule was arranged
for July which seemed satisfac-
tory to all 1t was thought wise
to see how the dates worked out
for one month before settling on
