SPAULDING WON.
Defeated Waterbury High School Yes
terday in Ninth-Inning Rally.
A ninth-inning rally yesterday saved
Spaulding's baseball team from a 5-2
defeat against Waterbury high, for in
that period they discovered the course
of Gray'a curves and before he was tak
en from the box seven hits and one
error had cost the Waterbury team
def.-at, 10-5. Up to that time Gray had
struck out 10 men, while the opposing
twirler, Orpheus Buzozxero, had re
tired 14, with W. Brown, his assistant
battery mate. Greig, in the ninth, was
the first man up. and clouted the ball
for a good sinpK and Caiderara did
likewise, as did Nicora. Young Olliver.
who has several teams started the scor
ing for the Spaulding team this year,
then came tip to drive out a fine three
bagger that cleared the bases except
for himself. This hit tied the score,
and bv a steady barrage against Gray
the Spaulding team batted, around and
started on the second lap, with the
first four batters facing O'Brien. O'Bri
en succeeded in halting further scor
ing, but the game was lost. The exul
tation of the Spaulding supporters, w ho
were there in large numbers, was great
when they saw such a sudden turn of
events. To morrow afternoon Spaulding
plays Burlington hijjh at Lincoln cam
pus, the game to begin at 3:30.
This afternoon at 4 o'clock Goddard
seminary baseball team plays Cu idl
ing academy at the seminary campus.
To morrow this Barre team goes to Wi
nooski to meet St. Michael's college in

effort was made to take off the covers,
and all hands remained on their re
spective tenders until well aUng in the
forenoon.

winds for several day. but it. was
hoped that the usual mtliester

MONTPELIER
Miss Minnio Hill of Washington, I).
C, called on Governor Clement one day
this week to secure his signature and
a letter from him stating that Miss
Hill had called upon him. This letter
was sent to the Boston Post, by which
Miss Hill is employed, and it is under
stood she asked permission to use it in
her story of her travels. She loft Wash-j
ington some weeks since and has visit- j
ed each governor in this section of the.
country excepting the governor of I
Maine. She left here Thursday morning1
to walk to Augusta, Maine. She told j
Governor Clement she would ride with j
him upon condition that he leave her:
at the place where she commenced her
ride, lie had explained to tier mat it
he saw her walking in, Vermont after
her visit he should ask her to ride.
This offer she accepted, on the condi
tion stated above. Governor Clement
gave Misa Hill a short letter, express
ing to the editor of The Post his pleas
ure at meeting Misa Hill and listening
to her travel talk. Some time ago she
walked through the West on a wager.
She pays her way, but must walk, and
on this trip she had trouble in securing
food at the ranches, for the women did
not want to sell her food. She climbed
Mount Washington on the crusted snow
and came here from Littleton, N. IL,
traveling to Montpelier from Marsh
field Wednesday. She walks three and
one-half miles an hour. She can walk
four miles an hour, but it is too fast
a clip to stand, so she keeps her speed
at the above stated figure. Miss Hill
is probably about 40 years of age, and
then again she may be younger.
A. W. SpaHing, employed by the
New Kngland Telephone company, will
be laid up for a couple of weeks at
least, as a result of an accident which
took place Thursday afternoon, while
he was employed with other men on
linfe construction. He was riding a
horse across the Winooski river, when
the horse apparently stepped into a
hole and fell. Mr. Spalding went with i
it and at first it was thought he had j
suffered a fractured vertebra, but it i
was later found that the injury was
only a strain. Last night it was giving,
a great amount, of pain. I
The board of control held a meeting;
Thursday afternoon, when most of the j
time was passed with' study of the1
schedule of wages which the heads of
the different departments forwarded to I
the office. There is an upward trend in
these, whether the heads of . the de
partments recommended them or not.!
tnd some of the help about the State'
House have indicated that they will,
change their employment unless theyj
secure a reasonable increase in wages, j
One girl has been offered $25 a month
more than ha is getting now, and it is
understood that others are waiting to
see what decision occufJuly I. An
other meeting will take place the 27th
of the month, w hen it is expected that
those schedules that did not reach the
board Thursday will have arrived for
consideration.
A hearing will take place at the
