to the cir iit of Lynch that at least
two of the wild throws credited to

CHURCH STEEPLE
Fred Vermette Places
Cross on Steeple of
Church
The tremendous task of replacing
the gilded cross on the steeple of the
church of L'otre Damea des Victoires
is almost completed. Early in Aprii,
the former cross fell to the ground in
a big wind sforni after water had
rotted its base and loosened it. In
decision as to what the new cross
should be made of caused so great a
delay that it arrived here only last
week. On Saturday, Steeplejack Fred
Vermette ascended to the crest of the
steeple, holding in ha hip the large
cross and holding it away from the
roof that it might not be scratched.
It was pieviously taken to the Win
dows of the belfry and put out
through the north aperture. Today
it rests high above the ground sup
poi ted by a staging which has topped
the steeple for several weeks in an
ticipation of the job, and after some
chipping and fitting has been done, it
will be set firmly in place.
It was at first palnned to make the
cross of some heavier material which
would necessitate a staging, and ac
cordingly Vermette went to work
about six weeks ago to set one up.
La ter it was decided to make the
cross of sheet copper, and even then ,
it was not made exactly according
to the measurements prescribed, or
it would have fitted exactly when
taken up Saturdav. The new cross
is 9 feet, three inches hijh and one
third as wide. It weighs about 200
pounds. With the aid of two men
and his daughter, Rose, who was pre
vented from duplicatine her climb of
.lune 12th to the verv top nnly bv
the order of the priest, Vermette
t k the cross in his laD and went ,
to the top on Saturday afternoon at
about three o'clock. At the top he
found the stagimr, put up in antici
pation of a heavier cross, merely a
hindrance, and it was with consider
ai,iP difl'.cultv in a hard wind that he
foro a large audience.

NEWPORT LOSES TO
ORLEANS WITH
3 TO 1 SCORE
(iame With Few Errors and
Good Ilitiingr on
. Both Sides
Getting trimmed by second string
toair.a and easily defeating niiiny of
the &tronger outfits has become more
or lesa Of a habit with the Newport
baseball team and following the gen
eral rule, the boys from the border
city allowed the Orleans Town team
to take their measure by the score of
3 to 1 in a fairly interesting game
of ball at Orleans on Saturday after
noon. There was a small attendancs
at the show, nearly forty per cent of
the fans present hailing from New
port. There is absolutely no excuse for
the boys losing Saturday's matinee
because the boys had several oppor
tunities to put the score on the right
side, but on practically every occa
sion the necessary punch was lacking.
In contrast the Orleans nlayers took
r.JvanUige of the chances that pre-.-.(nted
themselves and put the game
on ice in the fourth inning with three
big runs, scored on four . hita and
two bases on balls. It must bet akcn
into consideration, however, that
The "breaks of the game were in
favor of the Orleans aggregation and
entircly against Newport.
This is the second defeat Newport
has suftered at the hands nf their
close neighbors, but this beating was
not nearly o bad as the one Orleans
gave Newport here a few weeks ago
for the reason. that Orleans had a
much stronger team in action on
Saturday than it had when appearing
before the fans in Newport. The
management put a ver" formidable
team into action against our dimmed
stars this tirile, but the fact remains
it was anything but an Orleans out
fit, only about one-third of the en
tiro nine hailing from Barton Land
ing. However, the fans have no kick
here ,as it made a great deal more
interesting game to watch than the
awful ex.hibiflon given in Newport.

".Slim" was sailing along very smopth

youngster immediately gave signs of

pretty safe lead and taking consider

ers. Despité his inability to finish the
job on Saturday, Hill is certain to
irnve a valuable asset to the team,
