KNOX AND CLARKSVILLE 

TO FIGHT IT OUT HERE 

Report reaches the Enterprise that the Knox and Clarksville baseball teams of the Helderberg league, which have had such exciting contests for supremacy, will play a game on the Altamont fair grounds this Saturday, Oct. 7, beginning at 2:30. A real hot and nerve-wracking battle is to be expected. 

If you cannot get to New York to witness one of the world series games come to the fair grounds tomorrow and see the local “Giants and Yanks” battle it out. 

The Enterprise is trying to make arrangements to install a radio receiving outfit at the fair grounds tomorrow, so that fans watching the Knox-Clarksville game can also get the results of the world series game at New York.

NEW FARMS AND MARKETS

LAW TRIED LAST WEEK 

Last week Justice W. S. Waggoner took evidence at Guilderland Center in the case of Lillian Cox, wife of a laborer at the state anti-toxin farm, as to alleged injuries she had received from a dog belonging to Aaron Merritt. The plaintiff claimed the dog was a dangerous and vicious animal and should be shot. It developed at the trial that the Cox woman was a trespasser on the Merritt property at the time the alleged attack was made, and as no conclusive evidence was given to prove that she had been injured, or that the dog had done any harm, the Justice decided that the dog should live. 

John C. Watson of Albany represented Mr. Merritt, and as he was one of the original drafters of the Farms and Markets law, he explained to the court that this case could not possibly come under the meaning of the law; that a vicious dog is one that runs wild on the highways, biting at people and animals on the roads and in fields. The dog in this case is a young Irish Airedale, less than a year old, and is valued at $200.
