Plain sailing ahead for the New
port baseball team!
Newport has decided that such
lusty swatters should be retained
to fill out Newport uniforms for
the rest of the season. The for
mer management of the nine has
made an offer to the boys which
was definitely accepted and is
understood to be perfectly salts
factory to al lparties concerned,
which includes the team, it's for
mer sponsors and the public at
large.
1t is indeed gratifying to be
able to make the announcement
that the Newport team will re-
main in action until September
18th at least. Under the arrange
ments which were concluded on
Saturday, the business and finan-
cial status of the team becomes a
resumption of the conditions under
which it opened up the season. It
means that the boys have plain
sailing ahead and that the fans
are still going TO see the brand of
base ball which the Invincibles
have shown they are able to put
across. And everybody is happy.

Beat Sherbrooke 20,
Scalp Montreal H-2
In Weekend Games
Witty Hurls ShutOut

Hurting of the tightest variety
distinguished the Sunday game at
Sherbrooke which was absorbed by
the Fairbanks, A. A. 2 to 0. Clar-
ence Witty, the local ace and Kio
Granai, a Syracuse University
athlete, were the duellists, who
fought with might and main to
achieve supremacy with the curved
and dampened spheres.
Comparisons are odious But
with all due credit to Granai who
hurled a brilliant game, Clarence
Witty, the former Norwich Univer-
sity slabber, outpointed and out
pitched him. Granai issued three
free tickets to first and both of
the runs scored off him were earn
ed. On the opposing hand, Witty
gave no bases on balls, though he
uncorked on inconsequential wild
pitch, and blanked the Canadian
fence-busters in every chapter. The
hits on either side were equal, be-
ing six for Fairbanks and d half
dozen for Sherbrooke.
Both twirlers exhibited more
stuff on the ball than they have
shown thus far this season. Granai
had worlds of steam, a wicked
curve and Witty using his splitter
only occasionally, fell back upon
his fund of hooks and binding
speed. To the slants of the former
eight Scaletown swatsmen fell prey
via the strikeout route, while nine
Maple Leafers were set down on
pitched balls by Witty.
The st. JohnSbury twirler got
the first safe hit off Granai in the
third-a brief looping fly to left
field. Grieve, Hoernle and Maloney
were snuffed out in rapid success
sion and the blow went for naught.
Fuller Martin drove out another
hit off Granai in the fourth, but
two men were already down and
Mclaughlin who followed him,
was called out by jumps Charter on
strikes.
Fairbanks hung up her first big
marker in the fifth chapter. The
dope is thus: Pat Lavely, ex-Lyn-
donville left fielder, poked safe
hit into the left ~arden, and Clar-
ence Witty made the most of the
opportunity to sacrifice him along
to second with well-placed bunt
along the first base line. Grieve

AUTOS CRASH
ON DICKERMAN
HILL INLYNDON
Barnet, REQ Puts John
Judges Car Badly Out
of Commission

The fact that gas and boose do
not mix successfully for safety
was again forcibly illustrated
Sunday night, when two cars
crashed together on Dickerman
hill, Just south of the village of
Lyndon, coming together with
such force that one of them broke
the guardrail fence as it swung
back after the impact.
1t seems that William Bandv of
Barnet with REQ car was return
ing from Lyndonville when he met
car coming from st. Johnsbury
IN which were three persons. The
car was owned by John Judge of
Lyndonville, but he was a passen-
ger, as the car was being operated
by Noel (Pat) Lachance. The
other passenger was Jasper Lee.
Judge was badly wounded about
the head and Lee also suffered a
bad cash in his head. The Judge
car was well out on its side of
! the road, but when about oppo-
! site the Barnet car swerved about
and struck it broadside, smashing
its front to kindling wood and put
ting it entirely out of commission.
The cars blocked the highway
and traffic piled upon. both sides
until Deputy Sheriff John J.
Stafford of Lyndonville, who had
been notified, arrived. He immed-
lately arrested Bandy as respon-
sible for the trouble. 1t is claim
ed that second occupant of the
Barnet ear jumped and took to
the woods when the crash occur
red. Bandy claims that he was
alone on the tlip, although the
car was identified by several at
Lyndonville, and it is alleged that
the pair got lunch at Lyndonville
and that when they came down
over the crossing at the Corner
and through the bridge, they were
going at pace that made it dam
gerous travelling not only for
themselves but for several people
they happened to meet. Bandy
denies that he had been drinking,
but the authorities found several
bottles of "stuff' in his car at the
time of the accident, and assert
that he was under the influence of
liquor when arrested.
Bandy was brought to St.
Johnsbury and lodged in Jail.
Monday morning in municipal
court he was charged with hav-
ing driven a car while under the
influence of liquor. He pleaded
not guilty to the charge and was
put under bail of $500, which it
was expected lie would be able to
arrange during the day. His trial
was postponed until August "a.

NEWPORTERSON
BATTING ORGY
GET TWO GAMES
Beat Burlington 4-3 and
WallOp Port Henry
By 1913

Newport continued her winning
streak, unbroken for three weeks,
defeating Port Henry Sunday 10
to 8 at that town and Burlington
Saturday. Polli pitched eight inn
ings for Newport against Port
Henry and then gave way, with a
safe lead, to Eastburn. Starr
caught for seven stanzas and then
let Hastings don the mask and
protector.
Nels Lard hit a home run with
Hastings and l-astburn on the
sacks and the Newporters collect
ed about 25 hits. The Port Henry
aggregation were no match what
ever for the Border City clan.
In a hard fought battle, filled
with brilliant infeld PLAYS, Buriing
ton lost to Newport Saturday by
the close score of four to three.
At no time during the contest was
the game on ice for either team,
although Newport managed to
lead the parade with the exec ton
of a couple of innings. In the last
half of the seventh, after the up
staterS had made the sole run of
the game in the fifth, Burlington,
at her time to bat, staged hitting
rally which netted her two runs.
Hope ran high for the local team
then only to be overthrown in the
ninth when Newport piled up
three runs.
At Newport's time at bat IN the
second, Starr, the first man up,
was walked, went to second on
Brownies sacrifice, and arrived at
third when Eastburn was out,
Duba to Mcginnis. But Nicora, the
next man up, failed to connect and
was out on strikes. Newport made
the first run of the game in the
fourth. Kopf hit safely for a sin
gle and went to second when
Starr flied out to Patrick. Browne
up, next, connected with a two
bagger which sent Kopf across the
plate for the first tally of the con-
test. On a sacrifice BY EaStburn.
Browne advanced to third, but was
left there as Nicora popped one to
Duba.
There were no more runs until
the seventh when Burlington took
the lead by single tally only to
lose it for good in the ninth. In
the last of the lucky seventh, with
the crowd on its feet, Burns, the
first man up, famed, but McGinnis
who followed him sent the ball
into deep right which netted three
bases and Newton sent him home
on a single Mayforth reached
first on a felder's choice, forcing
Newton out at second. Duba hit,
sending Mayforth to third, who
came home shortly afterwards on
an error by Starr. The rally ended
when Sullivan flied out to Bower.
In her half of the ninth, New
port sewed up the game with three
runs. A hit and couple of costly
errors destroyed Burlington's
chances of keeping the lead she
had captured in the seventh. Starr
first up, hit safely for a single
and went to second when Newton
walked Browne. Starr however
was caught at third when East
