ITALIAN A. C.
AGAIN WINNER
Defeated Barre A. C. 9 to 4
in Listless Game at
, Intercity Park
.GIVING THEM
TWO GAMES
Losing Team was Shaky in
Field and Failed to Hit
at Right Times
The Italian A. C. won the second gain
of the Italian A. C.-Barre A. C. series
to decide the city championship at In
tercity park Saturday afternoon by the
score of 0 to 4 in a rather tame game
of baseball. By virtue of Saturday s
victory the Italians have two games of
the series to their credit. The series
wa arranged for the best three out of
five 2a meg. Intercity park was the
magnet for a throng of nearly 2,000 spec
tators from Barre and Montpelier, an
even larger crowd than passed the turn
stile in the opening eontest.- -
The Italian aggregation of ball-tossers
clearly outplayed the Barre team at
4 every stage of the nine innings and
were totally deserving of victory. Ar
rayed in' the batting togs, the Italians
found Aylward, the Middlebury twirler,
and Davidson, Barre's star performer,
but little opposition in concerted efforts
to land the second leg of the champion
ship series. In the very opening inning
the Italians instituted their batting bee,
which was very much in evidence in
every inning.
Aylward, who was recruited to do the
honor of the mound for Barre, was
obliged to retire from the breastworks
under fire at the close of five innings.
In that time he was touched up for eight
hits, which, together with a smattering
of errors, resulted in seven tallies for
the Italians. Davidson entered onto the
scene in the sixth inning and during his
four-round regime was no enigma to
the victors. When Aylward retired at
the close of the fifth inning, the Ital
ians were in the lead with a 7 to I score.
Davidson was scored on twice during
the remaining innings.
Joe Weafer, the peerless pitcher, again
went to the little hillock under orders
from Manager Calcagni. Weafer 'was
once more master of the Barre team.
During the first four innings' but 14 bat
iers faced the conquering pitcher. With
a commanding lead, the Morrisville lad
eased his pace at this juncture. Be
came of injuries received early in the
game Wearer lost his effectiveness. .Nev
ertheless, he was able to work through
the game and emerged a decisive win
ner.
. Weafer, Davidi and Comolli were the
most conspicuous hitters in the Italian
team, although other members of the
team managed to respond at crucial mo
ments with telling hits. Weafer wielded
the willow for four safeties," Davidi three
and "Big Joe" Comolli poled a brace of
long doubles, Pedtizzi, Wright and Nute
led the Barre faction in batting.
The superiority of the Italian team in
the field was not questioned. Probably
the moat noticeable work was achieved
by Earl Williams, the Dartmouth play
er. He was credited with four put-outs
and two assists. He covered the center
garden with fleetnesg of foot and every
one of his put-outs was noteworthy.
In the seventh inning he robbed Nute of
; a two-base hit bv a spectacular one
handed catch and and also staved off
runs by virtue of the catch. Hereafter
great respect will be evinced for his
strong right arm. In the fourth inning
he caught Hoar, running for Nute, as he
attempted to make third by a snappy
throw from deep center field. In the
seventh he nipped Pedtizzi attempting
to make home from second base on
Wright's hit. Bottigi added his name
to the honor list by pulling down Johns
ton's drive in deep left field after a long
run. Giacamuzzi also turned in a good
day In the field.
When Umpire Battles opened the fire
work, the Barre team, accompanied by
strong sections of rooters, were keyed
high with hope to turn the tide of "the
series their way and the prevailing opin
ion of the crowd indicated a Barre vic
tory. Their hopes were blasted shortly.
Aylward failed to locate the plate for
Clare,. the first batter up. Davidi hit
safely through second, advancing Clare
to second. A wild pitch, uncorked by
Aylward, sent both runners along a peg.
Comolli skied an easy fly to Brown, who
dropped it in his anxiety to return the
,ball to Fowlie. On receiving the ball,
Fowlie foolishly threw the ball into cen
ter field, endeavoring to catch Davidi.
Clare scored on the misplay. Then Weaf
er uncorked a hit that scored Davidi.
It was Davidi who started the fun in
the third inning, hitting safely to center.
Comolli doubled to the woods in left
field, Davidi scoring. Weafer hit safely

Notes.
The crowd called forth
reminiscences
of the old Northern league day
The work of T'mnire Battles was hirfi-
ly appreciated by the crowd because of
his emcienev. With a crop of local ar
biters of his calibre, games in Barre j
would be better appreciated.
Williams looms up as one of the
strongest players in the Italian line-up,
His work in both games has been of ex
ceptionally high order.
Pedum continues to improve in his
batting. He is now regarded as one of
the strongest stickers on the team.
Since the last appearance of the Barre
team, he has been shifted to lead-oft"
man.
Laird was sorely missed bv Barre at
first base, although the old veteran,
Wright, played a creditable game at
the bag and at times displayed some of
his former style.
Davidi's first hit was a sizzling liner
that nearly disabled Sullivan for the
game, the ball took a wicked bound
and struck the Barre keystone man in
the forehead. He was disabled for a few
minutes, but managed to complete the
game.
The third game of the series will be
played jt the Rangers' field next Sat
urday. The series calls for the best
three out of five games. Odds strongly
favor the Italian team. There are ru
mors that the two teams, now on
amicable terms, will play st regular in
tervals during the remaining summer
months and next season. Efforts will
also be made to effect a game before the
close of the season between an all-Italian
and an all-American team.
That first two-plv hit br Comolli ws
one of the longest hits on Intercity park
this season. Many have been predicting
that Comolli had passed his active days
as a ball player, but those who have seen
his work in the games of the series
think otherwise.

Discuss the Situ
ation New York, Aug. 3. The New York
Stock Exchange, which closed Friday for
an indefinite period, remains closed, with
indications that its doors will not open
until such time as the European situa
tion, should showed marked improve:
ment. There will be no unheralded
opening of the exchange, according to
one of its officials, ss every member
will be given at least 12 hours' notice
in advance of the opening.
With the stock and commodity mar
kets, still closed, the financial street
marked time Saturday. To all outward
appearances Wall street was, however,
0 almost as busily engaged as under nor
mal conditions. At the ollice of J. P.
Morgan 4 Co., representatives of the
some of the largest financial institu
tions in New York and Philadelphia met.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors, and no information was obtain-
0 able as to what took place, beyond the
1 fnet that iho nroaont trniiKlprt situation
was discussed with a view to taking
whatever precautionary steps might sug
gest themselves.
A meeting of the newlv-formcd asso
ciation of partners of stock exchange
firms was held and a statement was
made urging all exchange members not
to engage in outside dealings in secur
ities.
Canada's requisition upon the gold
supply at New York during the pres
ent movement has been made only with
in the last three days. Large amounts
of stock, expescially Canadian Pacific,
were sold at New York for Canadian
account during the recent wave of
liquidation, piling up heavy credit for
the Dominion
There was a meeting of the leading
foreign exchange interests to consider
methods of safeguarding the situation
and to reduce it to a sane basis. A com
mittee was appointed to outline a plan
and will report to-day. One of the sug
gestions was the shipment of $100,000,
000 gold to London in the form of
loan or in payment of bond purchases
This transaction, it was said, would be
of groat benefit to the London market
nd react to the advantage of our own
It was also suggested that daily meet
ings of a committee of exchange brok
be held to fix a reasonable ranee o
fra tp ni supervise the exchange of for
eign bills and transfers.

WILSON DENIES
THE "BOOM" STORY
Unqualifiedly False That He Ever Said
War Would Benefit
United State.
Washington, Aug. 3. The White
House Saturday gave out a telegram
from Secretary Tumulty to Curtis Guild
former ambassador to Russia, stating
that a published report of an editorial In
Mr. Guild's paper giving an alleged
statement by the president that a Euro
pean war would mean a big business
boom in the United States was unquali
fiedly false and asking for a telegraphic
reply on the source of the report.
DISCUSSED WAR.
Evangelist Stray Was Speaker at Gospel
Tent.
Evangelist F. W. Stray, president of
the Northern New England conference of
the Seventh Dav Adventists, arrived in
the city vesterday; and gave a discourse
at the Gospel tent last niifht. In view
of the great war like situation, it was
thought best to change the subject of
the evening, and the evangelist spoke
on lne battle of Armageddon."
.The evangelist said in part, ("hrist
said to his disciples, when on earth, in
answer to their question, "What shall
be the sign of thy coming and of the
end of the world?" "And there shall be
signs, and upon the earth distress of
nations with perplexitv." Luke 21:25.
Dan. 12:4 has been fulfilled, this century
has ushered in a great increase cf know!
edge. Men have been studying the
science of government and sociology and
yet this 20th century brings the nations
of Europe in this present condition. If
this century brings us to this condition,
to what will another century bring us?
With all this increase of knowledge we
should expect an era of peace. One hun-
cd years from now the German em
peror will not know how to rule his gov
ernment bettor than now.
The armies of Europe have been mak-
ng great preparation for war and na-
10ns will not alwavs arm and never
fight. What leads men to such tremen
dous preparations and readiness for war
with all the advantages of this 20th een-
urv? The evangelist then showed that
s Saul, when fighting the Philistines
ad recourse to the medium, the witch
of Kndor, so in our dsye ihcse kings and
mperors are led bv wicked spirits
'rough mediums, it being a well kno
fact that some of these kings have con
ulted piritufllintic mediums. This
fulfillment of Rev. A: 1 4-1 B." which re
lilts in the battle of Armageddon.
In Dan. 7:2, 3 we read that the four
winds strove upon the great sea, and
four beasts came up from the sea, 17th
verse tells us that these beasts are four
ing. the nea represent peoples and
multitudes, so the four winds would be
nniversal strife and war. Bv the pro
phecy in Rev. 7:1-3 we see that there is
to be another time of universal war, and
will onlv be held in check bv the angels
until the servants of God are sealed.
The evangelist then said that he did
not wish to be understood as saying that
the war in Kurope was the battle of Ar
insgeddon, he did not now that it was
o; but said that unless God held it in
clie k it might lesd to it.
Evangelist Stray will lecture to night
at the ttospel tent, taking up the fol
lowing queftioiio: "If the Seventh day
or SafiinUv is the Sabbath, why was it
not found out before?" And why don't
the educated minipter of all the church
rm see it and teach it?

Miss Mary Houghton and
Mrs. Robert Hutton
the Victims
Bennington, Aug. 3. Mr. Robert Hut'
ton, wife of Dr. Robert Hutton of New
York City, and Mis Mary Houghton
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Hough
ton of North Adams, Mass., are dead
a the result of an automobile accident
on the Pownal Center hill in the village
of Pownal. The accident happened Sat
urday morning about 9:30 o'clock, when
(the Pierce-Arrow touring car owned by
A. C. Houghton and driven by Chauffeur
John Widders, plunged down a teep cm
bank ment into a pasture. Th" caT over
turned three times in its plunge and
crushed out the life of Mrs. Hutton, who
died almost instantly. Mis Houghton
remained in the car, and was taken
from the rear seat of the machine by
people who came to the assistance of the
party. She was removed, to the North
Adams hospital, where she died shortly
after 3 o'clock. Death was caused by
injuries to the head and other of an
internal nature.
In the car at the time of the accident,
besides the chauffeur, were A. C. Hough
ton, father of the dead girl, Mrs. Hut
ton and her husband. The two latter
were on a vacation in North Adams
and had been invited to accompany Mr.
Houghton and his daughter on a short
pleasure trip to Bennington. The start
was made about P o clock. At the place
where the accident occurred the road is
being repaired, and a team engaged in
the work was standing on the upper
side of the highway while it was being 1
loaded. Mr. Widders, the chaffeur, said j
he was going up the hill, which is rather
steep at this point, when he lost control
of the machine, after which the engine
began to race. In turning out for the
team that was standing in the road he
ran the car near the edge, and it toppled
over the embankment and rolled a dis
tanee of about 50 feet.
Dr.- Hutton and Chauffeur Widdera
escaped with slight injuries.

A WIDOW'S
' RUSE
By KWIGARET C DEVEREAUX
In antebellum day there lived la
Georgia on a large plantation, wbicb
ba owned, on David Dupont His
wife bore hi in one child, a con, and
wben the baby was but a year old the
father died, leaving his property to his
wife la trust for bis sou. But Du
pont' affairs bad always been in the
bands of one Jobn Coulter, in whose
business ability, and integrity the
planter bad every confidence. He
therefore left the management of the
estate to Coulter as executor.
Mrs. Dupont bad always distrusted
Coulter, but so great was bis Influence
over ber husband tbat sbe dared not
speak her mind.
One day sbe set out from the plan
tation to visit a friend. Her trunks
were taken to the station by the ne
groes, but the widow .carried in her
band wbat in those days was called a
bandbox tnnde of pasteboard, intended
for the carrying of women's bonnets
or mens nuts. Tbis box sne would
trust to 'no. other bands than ber
own. She told all of tbe household
tbat ber baby was to remain In tbe
bands of Cbloe, his mammy, and no
one else was to have anything to do
with him.
Mrs. Dupont bad been away from
tbe plantation but a few days wben
Chole's husband, Sampson, appeared
to Inform ber tbat little Archie, ber
son, was very ill. 8be hurried home
and, going to tbe sickroom, shut her
self up there, giving orders tbat no
one except tbe doctor, who bad been
the family physician for years, was to
be admitted. The doctor came and
went but when asked bow the baby
was getting on always hurried away
without giving any satisfaction. One
day wben be came out of the sick
room he said:
"It's all over."
jlwo days later Simpson carried a
little coffin from tbe house, followed
by the widow, the boy's mammy and
II the negroes on the plantation. There
were wails from the dusky mourners,
but none wailed so loud as the dead
boy's mammy. The coffin was carried
to the family cemetery, where it was
placed in a grave tbat had been pre
pared for it
John Coulter during Archie's sick
ness, death and burial was away on
business. When he returned be found
his plans seriously Interfered with.
There was a provision in David Du-
pont's will that if bis son died before
bis widow, tbe eftate should be bers
instead of in trust for the boy. Tbe
widow at once claimed the property
and told Coulter tbat be must turn
It over to her.
The executor was in a bole. He had
partly accomplished his' plans' to get
possession of the property and bad it
not been for tbe child's death would
doubtless soon bare got it into a posi
tion where be would appear to be tbe
rightful owner. As it was, he could
only undo what he had done and turn
the estate over to the widow, ne was
a long while doing It and she was
obliged on several occasions to threat
en him with a charge of misappropria
tion to force him to disgorge. When
he had done so sbe dismissed him, hop
ing tbat be would leave the neighbor
hood. But In the service of the Dupont
family be had accumulated some mon
ey, with which be bought a small plan
tation in an adjoining county, where
he settled.
Some eight or nine years after Archie
Dupont's death tbe widow brought to
tbe plantation a boy whose age was
given as twelve years and adopted him.
George Etheridge was the boy's name.
and be soon became a favorite with all
tbe household. Chloe and Mrs. Dupont
both seemed to have transferred to him
their love for little Archie. George
grew up a Que fellow ana, tnanks to
his mother by adoption, was well edu
cated.
When Etheridge was about to be
come of age Mrs. Dupont granted him
a celebration of the event Tbe plant
ers from round about were Invited to
the fete, and, strange to say, Jobn
Coulter, who had continued to prosper
and badbecomeapromlnent cltlten,

received an invitation. Surprise was
manifested at tbe extent of the prep
arations, and some persons who re
membered tbe boy's age as given out
wben be came to tbe plantation de
clared tbat be bad come of age a year
or two before.
However, there was a flue gathering
in honor of the event. On tbe birthday
when tbe clock struck 12 tbe guests
were gathered on a lawn near tbe
bouse, Mrs. Dupont was there with
George Etberldge, old Chloe and all
tbe household negroes.
"My friends." said tbe widow, ''and
Mr. Coulter, this Is my" son, - Archi
bald -Dupont Wben- be was-ayear
old I gave out tbat be was dead. This
I did in order to get possession of my
property, which was passing into tbe
hsds of the executor of tbe estate. I
tdon my baby away in a bandbox.
Cbloe, as I had arranged with her.
sent me word of his illness, and I re
turned to bury a wax doll. When be
grew old enough not to be known for
himself I brought bim here. These
1 precautions are no longer necessary.
for by bis father's will bis property is
to be paid him today.
All were surprised except young Du
pont who bad known the facta for sev
eral years, and Cbloe, who bad always
known them. .
While Mrs. Dupont was speaking ber
eyes were fixed on John Coulter. Not
being a sensitive man. his mind was
occupied with tbe manner in which
he ad been beaten by a woman.
