DUDLEY TEAM LOST
BY SCORE OF 12 TO 4
Davidson Sailed Along Easi
ly and Kept Hits Well
Scattered
Adieu, Phineas P. Dudley! Would
that Saturday be your last sojourn in
Barre. Acting in accordance with tilie
past this person Dudley assembled a
group of alleged stars at Intercity park
end met defeat by the meagre score of
12 to 4. Fortune smiled favorably on
the Dudley crew that figures of the
Barre team did not roll larger. After
, a campaign of publicity for some time
past, heralding Dudley's Athletics as a
coming band or world beaters, with a
sprinkling of promising major league tal
entT the sporting goods man and pro
moter of alleged baseball games, breezed
into our little hamlet minus two of his
etellar representatives, "Rube" Oram, the
Brown pitcher, and "Pink" Winckler,
the Vermont man, w'ho, according to the
widespread allusions, were to be included
in the personnel of the Dudley boys.
For three or four seasons Barre fan
dom has witnessed these agonising eon
tests with Dudley in one of the leading
roles ball teams that Barnum would
have blushed had he coralled. Owing to
failure to have Cram, the sensational
Brown pitdher, Dudley guided Tuck, a
Dartmouth freshman twirlor, to the
mound. After two batter had been re
tired, the Barre team stole this reputed
pitcher's prayer book. Then they swooped
upon him and garnered three counters.
Acting with good judgment, Dudley der
ricked Tuck, offering Mm a change of
environment by transferring him to
right field. The effect of the change
was noticeable. "WSllie" Washburn as
sumed responsibilities for Dudley.
Washburn was a mere child against
the Barre swatsmen, receiving an un
merciful pounding. The only available
pitcher in the Dudley rangers was Vail,
who occupied third base, ail was called
upon, but foremost in hi mind was the
trimming he received from Barre a. few
weeks ago. After a grave and deliberate
consultation between Dudley and Vail
during the rounds immediately follow
ing the retirement of Tuck, Vail posi
tively refused to be humiliated by the
local fence busters, who were banging
the pill like leaguers. Washburn re
mained at his post through the re
mainder of the game. Only thirteen hits
were made off him. During the lat
ter part, in order to bring the agony
to an end, the locals went out in order
along well-founded linen. Tommy Da
vidson, the Valiant little Athletic pitch
er, did not even dampen his sweat shirt.
Realizing his position, he ' took things
as a matter of course. Eight scattered
hits were gathered off his delivery.
The best playing by the visitors was
by "Brave" Fowlie, "the St. Michael's
catcher, who was drafted into service
at an eleventh how's notice by Dudley.
'He Bhowed up to great advantage behind
the bat, but his efforts to steady the
Hanover pitchers proved futile. Brave's

Note of the Game.
It would take some team to down
Barre at the pace they are now travel
ling. , ;
Should the sporting public of Barre
ever permit Dudley to return to Barre,
it would be well to have some means of
insuring a good ball game. On but one
occasion has Dudley brought a mediocre
team here; on other occasions he has
banded together players whose ability
would hinder them from qualifying for
high school bull. .
Jackie Davidson lent a tone of strength
and stability to the infield of the Ath
letics. He covered second in admirable
style. At the bat his cleaving should
have resulted in four clean ihiits, but
slow base running by J. Brown, acting
under orders from the bench, who was
forced, at second on a ball driven be
tween right and center, deprived hira of
a hit.
Only thirteen errors chalked up against
the lianover team.
Something rare, for "Bill" Johnston to
be credited with two errors. The "old
reliable" had his off day and tumbled
on two occasions.
The best hitting of the day was done
by J. Davidson and Johnston, each con
necting for three hits. Nute, Hoemle
and J. Brown each knocked out two.
Fast-Going Colt Expected.
A colt of which much is expected in
the way of speed was foaled last week
by Miss Axel and has been named Lam
bert Axel, the sire having been Young
Dandy Lambert. The colt's mobher was
a fast mare and of fast breed, being by
Axel with Axtel as sire, the latter be
ing three-year-old champion of the world
with a record of 2:12.

SMALL CHANCE
Defeated, 11 to 4, by Italian
A. C. at Berlin Street
Grounds
POOR EXHIBITION
. BY THE VISITORS
Beaton Pitched for Locals
and Was Never in
Danger
Two hundred, fans and a band were
afforded a dismal afternoon at the Ber
lin street park Saturday afternoon when
the Italian Athletics entertained as their
guests on the diamond between 3 and 5
an aggregation of players styled on the
posters "Hardwick A. C." Let it be
said here that it wasn't tihe Hard wick
team of old, the team that used to wage
close battles with the best that Barre
fforded. The game, fortunately the
term da an arbitrary one, had an 11 to 4
issue in favor of the locals. It was
simply a round of disappointments, for
everybody came expecting to see a repe
tition or at least something like a re
petition of the diamond events in which
Barre and Hardwick teams formerly fig
ured. (). baseball what crimes are com
mitted in tihy name!
Dannie Beaton commanded the artil
lery works of the locals and he didn't
have to exert himself greatly to fan an
even dozen of the Caledonian. Opposed
to the East Barre favorite was Hitch
cock, who had a uniform labelled "Hard-
wu-k Reserves' and little else. Hitch
cock started to do some mowing, but
he failed to twirl consistently when that
kind of pitching counted. Evidently the
visitors wad scoured every highway and
hedge in Hardwick and environs, in their
vain endeavor to get together a team
that could cope with the strong I. A. C.
Rumor had it that the line-up, as finally
completed, was one part Hardwick gram
mar school, one part Hardwick W3nd Jam-
mers, a sprinKimg oi me vinage ueavy
Hitters, a dash, and a faint dash at
that, of the old Hardwick town team
and a representation from the Grange
team.
For the locals. Clari and Williams con
tributed most of the heavy hitting. The
infield played with some of its old-time
vigor and occasionally the combination
pulled off something that threatened for
moment only to enliven the contest.
Bottigi, as usual, figured an a hair-rais
ing clutch in left, while the other fielders
hal little to do all aitemoon. Ap
parently Lyons and Jacques were the
only men of unquestioned calibre in the
Hardwick line-up and even the former
played lis a schoolboy at times.. A
whole the team lurmsned little in tne
way of entertainment. 1 he score:
Hardwick.

Open Threats to Impeach
Sulzer, Who Wants Mur
phy Indicted
'CHAOS," SAYS
WILLIAM BARNES
Declares State Government
is a Laughing Stock
and Farce
New York, July 28. Thfr dispute be
tween Gov. Sulzer and Charles F. Mur
phy reached a crisis Saturday. The im
peachment of the governor is threatened
openly. The governor replies that Mur
phy is to blame for everything. The
condition of chaos is unique in the his
tory of this state.
The Frawley legislative committed,
which has been investigating the con
duct of the governor before and after he
entered office, promises to bring forward
itroof that the coventor received and
spent campaign contributions which be
did not reKrt to the secretary of
state in his official return of campaign
expenditures. If the committee cstab
lishes its case, the trovernor will 1
found euiltv of a criminal offence and
his impeachment will follow.
Mr. Sulzer in an interview says that
the whole trouble with the state admin
intra t ion is Charles F. Murphy. Mr.
Sulzer, it appears also, tried to induce
District Attorney Whitman to cause the
indictment of Mr. Murphy on the charge
of conspiracy, or ' for anything else,
which the governor is quoted as saying.
W illiam Barnes, chairman of the Re
publican state committee, at this mo
ment an acute but disinterested specta
tor, told The Sun yesterday that the
entire administration of the state is de
moralized; that there has been riotous
appropriation of state money with no
results; that the government oi the
state is paralyzed and has become a
laughing stock of the nation. Mr.
Barnes laid the chaotic condition to the
factional fight between Sulzer and Mur
phy for the control of the Democratic
party in this state.
Gov. Sulzer, who was described on Fri
day by Lieut. -Gov. Martin H. Glynn as
the prince of liars, replied Saturday
through his secretary that Mr. Glynn
was the chief of "ego-maniacs" and that
the lieHtenant-governor's interest in
impeachment plans was clearly owing
to his desire to succeed to the governor
ship, which he would do hi the event
of .Mr. Sulzer's ouster.

WILSON TALKS
OF MEXICO
Embassador Continues His
Activities as Talking
Diplomat
TARIFF MAKES
GOOD PROGRESS
Tho Chemical Schedule Goes
Through. All Amend
ments Voted Down.
Washington, July 28. As a talking
diplomat Embassador Henry Lane Wil
son continued his activities Friday in
Washington. H,is interview in Xew
York Friday was amazing to the corps.
He denied much that was accredited to
hira there but Saturday he discussed
Mexican affairs here freely and alto
gether volubly. He even criticised the
president for sending William jiayara
Hale to Mexico to study the situation,
although the president has denied that
Mr. Hale went there as his special rep
resentative. And it came as a surprise
Saturday that Secretary Bryan has ap
parently had a Spanish-speaking rep
resentative in Mexico for some weeks,
lteirinald F. Del Valle of Los Angeles.
In former times such diplomstic
frankness would have been sternly
frowned upon at the White House. Of
course F.mbaasador Wilson has been at1
tacked, as he believes very unjustly, and
wishes vindication. He was sent to
Mexico by another administration and
has long been anxious to relinquish his
post. He has been through very trying
times, is credited with liavim? carried
himself superbly and accordingly oecu
pics a very independent position. His
talk with president Wilson today and
other conferences are expected to clear
up the Mexican situation materially
The embassador says he expects to re
turn to Mexico next week.
His tslk with Secretary Bryan Satur
day morning was cut short because the
secretary had to appear before the for
eign relations committee of the Senate,
anent the penning Xicaraguan treaty.
At this bearing there was some discus
sion of Mexico. . There seems to be no
disposition to change this existing law
with regard to shipment of arms into
Mexico.
I he House Saturday was in . session
but four minutes. The Senate worked
through the afternoon and completed
tlte chemical schedule. This makes for
progress, although it is to be remem
jered the tariff bill schedules run from
the income tax provisions and adminis
trative features. Any of these are like-
to provoke long discussion. There
continues to be a Republican indisposi
tion to delay with set speeches.
Lxcept on capitol hill Saturday after
noons are now periods ot inaction at
Washington. President Wilson Satur
day threw aside official cares. All the
departments were closed.
GIRL DIED IN
SUICIDE PACT
Man With Her Evidently Repented Aft
er Part of Poison Was Taken Ha
Is Sought by Police.
Boston, July 28. A suicide pact is
believed to have led to the death of Rose
Fivanson, 20 yesrs old of Hartford,
Conn., who died of carbolic acid poison
ing yesterday.
The police are looking tor the man
who registered with the girl at a local
otel Saturday night, and who disap
peared shortly after she was found
dying.
1 he young .woman came to noston
recently to work as a nurse for a doc
tor in a hospital.
Yesterday morning the man appeared
before the hotel clerk and asked for a
doctor. He appeared ill and later the
girl was found dying in their room and
was rushed to a hospital.
Two bottles of acid were found in
the room, one entirely drained and the
other half empty. It was believed the
man took some of the poison and then
changed his mind.
A note in the girl's hand asked the
police not to blame "Billy" and said
she was "tired of the life I am leading
and I am doing this with a clear mind."

Decide That Woman Found in Lake Mich

Could Not Find Work.
Chicago, July 28. Letters found near
where the body of a young woman was
recovered from Lake Michigan Friday
night convinced the polic Saturday that
she had committed suicide because of
her failure to obtain employment.
The victim was supposed to be Miss
E. Lee of Elmo, W5 although her iden
tity has not been made positive. The
fiistol which brought her death was
raced and found to hav been sold here
on Wednesday to a Miss Lee, who gave
her residence as Elmo. There are sev
eral Lee families near Elmo, but none
of them knew of a woman answering
the description of the victim.
The two letters, which explained the
woman hsd been out of employment and
had been unable to get work, bore no
wording to indicate the city from which
they had been sent. The coroner's in
quest was continued until Thursday to
allow the police to make further inves

TO REDUCE DEATH TOLL.
Mine Interests and Surgeons To Have
Conference.
Washington, D. C, July 28. Mine op
erators, turning engineers and "mine sur
geons, representing practically every im
portant mining company in the United
States, will gather at Pittsburg, Pa.,
on Sept. 22 to discuss methods for re
ducing the death toll in mines and quar
ries. These men are members of the
American Mine Safety association, which
held its first meeting one year ago in
Pittsburg.
Here is the problem they have on hand.
In the year 1011, 3,603 men were killed
in the mines and quarries of the United
States. Sixty-three thousand three hun
dred and one were injured during the
same time. The death rate for all min
ing that year reached 3.58 men in every
1,000 employed.
The men who will meet are the leaders
in what is known as the "safety first
movement which began in the United
States about five years ago through the
influence of the federal bureau of mines.
In that time several hundred mine have
been equipped with rescue crews to save
life following disasters, and first aid
crews to give succor to the men who are
injured.
The development of this humanitarian
work has led to a confusion of methods
and the object of the Mine Safety asso
ciation is to discuss the different meth
ods and recommend the use of only the
best. In discussing the object of the as
sociation, H. M. W'ilson of the bureau
of mines, said to-day, "In the hope of
reducing the number of these accidents
and shortening the period of disability
of the injured, it was felt that there
should be greater uniformity in the
methods of conducting rescue operations
in mines after explosions, fires, or oth
er disasters, and to give first aid to
the injured.
'Workingmen s compensstion acts have
in recent years been passed an fifteen
states, of which ten were enacted in tfh
year 1911 alone. The rapid spread of
legislation compelling employers to care
for injured workmen clearly shows the
importance to the employer of reducing
the liabilities by every means at his dis
posal. These are of two kinds, namely,
safety or preventive measures and pro
tective or rescue and first aid meth
ods. ".Mine operators now realize that it
fs more expensive to restore wrecked
mines, costly to fight damage suits
through the courts and less profitable to
pay regulated liaDiutv charges or even
workmen's compensation, than it is to
bear the cost involved in reducing these
charges by means of diminishing the
number of accidents and the duration
of the resulting disability by the adop
tion of improved safety, rescue and first
aid methods.
"Since fifty-eight per cent, of all in
dustrial accidents are shown by statis
tics to be due to negligence, carelessness
or lack of knowledge of employers, or
employes, the vital necessity of learning
everything possible about the causes snd
means of preventing these accidents must
be evident to every man concerned in
mining. To the operators it spells busi
ness success or failure; to the miner, life
or the physical ability to work and sup
port a family."
The meeting at Pittsburg, which will
include Sept. 22, 23 and 24, will open
with a mine-rescue and ilrst aid contest
in Arsenal park, Pittsburg. The next
day the members will visit the experi
mental mine of the bureau of mines at
Bruceton, Pa., where a coal dust explo
sion will be made in order to show the
members that coal dut is even more
dangerous to the miner than gas. On
Sept. 24 there will be various meetings
to discuss methods and in the afternoon
a visit to the experiment station of
the bureau of mines.
