Gale, daughter of Deacon John Gale and Catherine Shedd, was born in Bane, January 1S34, and died at the home of her brother. John Gale, in Sr. Johnsbury, Tuesday, Sept. 17, after a brief illness with pneumonia. Although a native of Barre Mrs.

Mricklatid may be said to have been a resident of Hardwiek practically all her life, for having buried her husband when the little daughter was seven years of age, the mother came to this town with her two small children, and the daughter has lived here ever since with the exception of a few months at various times when she fias been at the home of her brother in St. Johnsbury. About 30 years ago the deceased was united in marriage with David Strickland of this place. His death occurred 14 years ago. Mr.

and Mrs. Strickland have been prominent in the history of the Congregational church in this place it being largely through their labors and support licit the church was organized and built up Ine of Ihe latest of Mrs. Strickland's gifts to the church was a beautiful memorial window, which she had placed ill the church edifice InM year the ball in front of the plate; Hatch got his first a single to left, moving O'Brien along a sack; Carey, next up, clipped a pippin of a single to right, scoring O'Brien; the following two men fan-no 1.

Tin" winning of this game carriiil with il the title of state champions, it having been advertised.

That the several hundred cut husiast ie spectators gathered at the park to witness this deciding game was kept in-j; quite a little while beyond the usual starting time, was due to a break-down of one of the automobiles carrying Ji ptirt of the Hardwiek boys, and was one (if the I'vnt. in traveling in this manner. However, the contingent arrived inunediatdy put in uppcuralife at ihe crounds and after some preliminary rac-tire, the fcjum' was started with Mr. Car-ell of Rarre and J. K.

Appolt of 1 hodw as eommander-in-ehiefs of the forces, and right well did they do thdr part of the work. That it was to be another battle of pitrhers was well known when it was announced several (lays before the panic that Sareka. the Proctor southpaw, was to go on to the mound for the 1. A. boys, and llateh, the Franklin county iron-man, was to do slab duty for Hardwiek.

Sareka had pitched two panics previously to this one, for iraniteville, against llard-viek, and in neither game had the llard-wickites got over four hits off from him, rind Hatch also had been III) against the I. A. C. a few weeks ago for Hardwiek, and that these two grand good pitchers would work their heads and arms oft" if necessary lo win this all important game, was a foregone conclusion. The fact that the crowd knew that the Hardwiek and I.

A. C. managements had signed a contract to the effect that the former would use Sareka, and that, the latter team would have tin- right to import (Hatch being considered a wick player), was one lliing to brim: out a lame crowd catel.er, ilar lktrd- lat tended .1 c-plle the threatening weather all day. And it was indeed a battle royal, not alone between the t'wo star Dingers, but man for man on each team, and with so lunch at stake il is a wonder hal the game was played as well as it was, and il was by long odds a great deal closer and more exciting than the score of to 0 would in any way indicate. Tor instance: Up to the end of the fourth inning not a hit was made by the heavy sluggers of the Hardwiek aspirants olT Sareka.

ami in the meantime Hatch proved to be the complete master of the Italian boys by holding them hitless and runtess for seven innings, and though he did not send many down by the wind route, his teammates were really playing championship ball back of him, with phenomenal stops and diarp throws by the infielders and sensational catches in the outer garden. The Hardwiek lads started something rolling in the fifth, much to the dclii-ht of its adherents present. Leonard, who by the way, has been pladng first base for the llrattleboro team in the Twin Slate league this summer, and who caught for Hardwiek, opened the session by hitting one of Sarcka's best right on the nose, it being a terrific swat that could be heard a long distance, to the renter field fence, where Paul Scampini got it on the hound from the fence and held Leonard at first. Had the ball gone a very few feet higher it would have been going yet. Lyon, next up.

singled very prettily to right, Leonard easily going to third and Lyons to on the peg to third. The "blond one" came buck to earth and fanned the next two men; Carey lined one out. into BottiL'gi'sj territory, and the latter, playing in too rlose, had to go back after it, but he only managed to partially Mop it and two tallies came across the pan; Jacques died easy, Sareka to Calcagni. The sixth session pnxluced double the runs of the fourth. Lyons was again in the limelight, punching out a dandy double to the left garden; O'Brien whiffed at three; Hatch was presented with a free ticket; in the meantime Lyons got as far as the third corner on a wild pitch and scored very njon after when ole Joe Comolli tried to catch him napping at the third park; Carey whizzed one to shortstop who made a wild heave to first, Hatch registering on the play; Carey was a thief and stole second, and Jacques got on by a fielder's choice; the latter being caught between Erst and second, and while a goodly share of the 1.

A. C. boys were trying to tag Jacques, Carey came walking in from third as unconcerned as "you please; but to return to Jacques, he was doing a record hop, skip and jump and lo the surprise of everybody he won it. landing safely on the second cushion when Calcagni threw to no one in particular to head him olT; the parson (lied to Williams; Brown taliped a nice one to right, field, Jacques scoring on the play; Murray got a life was caught when trying Jo purloin second. As the eighth opened it began to get dark very rapidly; Leonard landed on the pill for a hit, the ball going to left, and he went to second on a passed ball; Lyons' third swat of the game scored the former; O'Brien forced Lyons by hitting Win and Lose at St.

Johnsbury Last Thursday the local team went to St. Johnsbury to play the team of that place two tames Thuisdny and in connection with the fair. The game on Thursday was played on the Campus at 10:00 a. m. The game proved to be as elo-c and exciting as the one between the same teams at the same place the Saturday prc ions.

That the boys lost by a score of 3 to 1 was due directly to thdr inability to hit I.avasseur at opportune times. Hardwiek having something like nine men 1 ft and caught on liases, running very wildly several times. The lot gra-s in both the infield and outfield was responsible somewhat for the work of the locals, as it bothered them to judge a ground ball more than it would on a hard diamond. Then, too, there were some ground rules that worked to Brown's and Murray's ili-ndvaiitngo, allowing hit good for only two ordinal ilv it would have been at le: a homer, steady, to have their a three-bagger and pos-iUy "Noeky" was al-o a bit un-pa-simr four men. All teams davs and lids was one of ours.

Friday, the scone was shifted to the fair ground, where, on a hard ground, our boys f'-lt more at home. and demonstrated that the ground did have -4 metl.ing to do ith the game the day bi fore. ITai'lwiek tried a new man in the box, a regular giant, looming up as large as the old irer-n Mountains, which, no doubt hud some effect on the opposing bat-men, as St. J. could only secure thn hits off from his delivery.

He is a regular pitcher in a mail clerks' league in lhat city, and has pitched for a team in San Francisco last spring.

But last Saturday they surprised themselves in the class of ball they put up against the Marshfield aggregation at the latter place. The game went into an extra inning and the people of Mar-hfieM have not witnessed such a hot and exciting game of ball since the old (lavs, and the old saving "a game is not won or lost until the last man was out" was amply proven in this and only bv a batting rally in the 10th the Yannigans won out actually by the "skin of their teeth" by 'a score of li to Both "Poddy" of the Yatis a In I Brow of Marshfield pitched good ball, ill fact, as the indicates 1 In- gaii.e was very hard fought and evenly played ihroULhout. The re-j turn game will be hire this week: Saturday afternoon at Pro- eet park, and with "Pod" in good shape the people who do not attend the fair at the cast vil Iagc should make it a point to attend the game here and see some fun.

It will be about the last game of the season, plan to come out and give the Yans am "Pod" all the encouragement possible. Fats vs. Leans Wow! What now! Well, here's the game all have been expecting to hear about for some time, and it will take place, at Prospect park next week Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and when the "Bones" and "Fleshies" meet on the diamond on the above date there is sure to be some need of a physician and we are able to announce that Dr. Kibbee will be on hand to assist in mending broken bones and to sew up flesh wounds. We can also say with authority that the genial "Chap" has consented to art as arbitrator for the heavy brethren.

Those having the matter in charge will be unable to announce the line-up until next week, but it is a fact that each faction has a chance to draft 25 men for the occasion and by ihe time of our next issue it is hoped ihe list wi 1 be given ccmpletc. It will certainly be an array of baseball talent that will make ihe "natives sit up and take notice." The lean brethren have an idea they can whale the ball so far that it will keep the heavies on the run. while on the other hand the heavyweights are equally de-teilnined to hold, down the other fellows so they will not be able to run. This is coming to be an annual event and the rivalry will be keener than ever. Look for further announei nts later.

Funeral services are to bo held in that city to-day. Matthew and Hazel accompanied their aunt and uncle home; Municipal Court. A Swede with an unpronounceable name, ran amuck Sunday night at his home in the Marshall double-tenement house near the Woodbury Granite plant and raised a big commotion generally and razed furniture in particular. The trouble with him was too much booze and a bad temper combined and before he had finished his performance he had demolished nearly all the furniture, broken the dishes, smashed all the electric light bulbs and thrown his wife out doors. When the officers got there the house was in darkness, owing to his juggling with the electric lights, but Policeman Powers landed his man all right and kept him in the lockup for safe-keeping until the next day when he was brought into court, and fined $10 and costs, amounting to something over Slti.

His hitting also deserves favorable mention. In fact, we can say, that Leonard, who put lots of life into the Hardwiek boys by his peppery work, and who is to nianntie the llrattleboro team nexl season, will give George a thoruiiidi tryout on lhat team ni xt summer, am' the fans to a man, look for in to ddi er the goods. O'Brien's fielding was al-o a feature ol the gatne.evt ry one of his chances bein difficult There are a few doubting Thomases ului cannot si just where and how we can lay any claim to the championship. Here's the dope. The I.

A. Granitt-ville, B. A. C. and Hardwiek have been playing this season with that title in view from the start, and here is how they finally ended up: Hardwiek and the B.

A. C. each won a game from the other; the (iraniteville team defeated the B. A. C.

two out of three games; Hardwiek defeated Craniteville two straight; the I. A. C. defeated Graniteville two out of three, and up to last Saturday the I. A.

C. and Hardwiek each had a victory to its credit. It narrowed right down to these two teams, and Manager Broggi made a statement after the game to the effect that "now the series is ended, I am convinced that Hardwiek has tin; best team." That ought to be plain enough for the most skpctical. With the game last Saturday Hardwiek practically closed the most successful season in the history of baseball in this burg, both financially and in the number of games played and won. and also in point of attendance, proving to be one of the best baseball towns in the state this year.

The team has met every nine that I. as come along, playing this season 2" game-" winning PI and losing six. The success of the team has been due in a large measure to the perfect harmony existing between the players, Manager Mike Sullivan and the officers of the association, the extraordinary support accorded the boys, both at home and away, a fact which is greatly appreciated by the association, the fans standing back of the team even when it was playing a rather uncertain brand of baseball, having faith in them that they would deliver at the proper time, and last, that the same men practically, and all local except the pitcher in some games, have played together throughout the season, this having a great deal to do with the great record of 15 straight victories, together with the grand work of "Nocky" in the box, the team backing him up in good style and having lots of faith in his work, and it has been the best season of Ray's career. The town is to be congratulated on having such a worthy representative on the dia mond this season, and it is entirely prob able that very soon a suitable demonstra tion of the fans and managements' appreciation of what the team has done for the village, will be given in a suitable and fitting manner. Once more, all hail the champions.

The Hardwiek basbeall team, its manager and officers of the association wish to give the I. A. C. management all due credit for the sportsmanlike manner in which they treated the Hardwiek contingent, the manner in which all arrangements at the ground were carried out and the good feeling prevailing between both teams throughout, the contest. It was very nun-h appreciated by our boys, we assure you.
