The afternoon was taksn up
j with two ball games, witnesse I
i by the largest crowd ever in
this town. The home team
took both Holiday games by
trimming Lyndonvilie in the
first encounter by the score of
4 to 2 and giving Newport a
good drubbing in the secend
engagement, winning easily 9
to 4.
The first game was a pitchers
battle between "Lefty" Mahan
and "Goodie" Goodman, the
latter having a shade the best
of the argument, holding the
heavy hitting Lyndonvilie team
to five hits and striking out ten.
The features of the game were
the marvelous pitching of Good
man and the wonderful work
of Danforth in center field.
The Seconal game started off
like a runaway for the home
team. After Stevens and Ro
oney got on by errors the next
eight batters to face Kenison,
hit safely and scored as many
runs. Baker worked splendid
ly for six innings but withdrew
owing to a strained tendor in
his throwing arm. Goodman
finished the game in good style
but did not have to exert him
self owing to the big lead his
team-mates secured in the ear
ly innings. The Band furnish
ed music thruout the games.
Owing to lack of space we are
unable to p've the line-up of
the two g;.. :nes.
A tug-ot'-war between Iho
town and shop teams furnished
no little excitement at the close
of the Lyndonvilie game.
Meals were served in the
Methodist church by the La
dies Aid and in the Woodman

An Appeal to Common
THE SOUND COMMON SENSE WHICH HAS ALWAYS CHAR
ACTERIZED THE MEN AND WOMEN OF VERMONT AND WE BE
LIEVE WILL INFLUENCE THEM TO VOTE FOR FREDERICK H
BABBITT FOR GOVERNOR.
HE REPRESENTS THAT TYPE OF CLEAR HEADED, HON
EST, FEARLESS, RIGHT THINKING, PUBLIC SPIRITED, SUCCESS
FUL BUSINESS MAN WHICH VERMONT NEEDS DURING THE TRi
ING AND EVENTFUL YEARS LYING JUST AHEAD, TO ECONOMIC
ALLY AND EFFICIENTLY MANAGE THE BUSINESS OF THE
STATE
THE GOVERNORSHIP OF VERMONT MEANS SOMETHING
TO EVERY TAX PAYER IN THE STATE FOR THE CONDUCT OF
THE GOVERMENT IS NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN THE DO
ING OF THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS.
MR. BABBITT IS A MAN OF BROAD VISION BUT IS NOT
VISIONARY. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE THAT FAVORITISM TO
WARD ANY ONE FEATURE OF OUR STATE LIFE, TO THE DETRI
MENT OF ALL OTHERS, BUT THAT OUR SCHOOLS AND HIGH
WAYS, OUR AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
ALL OF WHICH ARE ESSENTIAL TO OUR WELL-BEING AND
PERMANENT PROSPERITY, SHOUID RECEIVE EQUAL CONSIDER
ATION AND LEGISLATION.
THE ELECTION OF MR. BABBITT WOULD MEAN A REAL
BUSINESS MAN OF LONG TRAINING AND AN EXPERIENCED
LEGISLATOR IN THE EXECUTIVE CHAIR. THIS CANNOT BE
TIIRUTHFULLY SAID OF ANY OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES.
Playgrounds Close
Tr is o-rstifvincr tn know that
n n j
j 1 i t i i n .1 1 '
tne people or isiana ronu nave
become convinced that no child
can develop normally unless he
has opportunities for a certain
amount of diversified play.
For those who do not quite
understand what the play
grounds offer it may be will to
recall to their mind this fact:
What our soldiers possessed
when they landed on the other
side of the Atlantic health,
strength and energy constitute
"fitness" and it is the early
training that the boy or girl re
ceived at the playground that
makes it possible to acquire
these physical essentials.
Island Pond playgrounds
closed last Saturday after a ve
ry successful summer.
