SPOKE TO CHILDREN
MRS. ELIZABETH HoEKE TALKS
OF FAIRGROUNDS.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hoeke, chairman of the
schildren's playground auxiliary recently
visited the public schools and spoke to the
children and teachers in regard to collec-
tions for the maintenance of the play
grounds. She was told by some teachers
that she should expect no larger collections
for this. object than for the giving OF
Christmas presents to the poor each De-
cember, which would be much too small
for her, purpose. But Mrs. Hoeke does
not agree with these teachers. She thinks
that as the giving Of Christmas presents
is not a. real school activity and the main
tenance of Fairgrounds is. there should be
a much larger support of the latter. She
thinks. no other school fund of equal size
would yield even larger returns In health
and strength of character.
THE Fairgrounds, being school activ-
ity," said Mrs. Hoeke to a representative
of The Star should be maintained not in
part but in entirety by the parents and the
children. There is no other way parent
can get SO large return on his money.
How many mothers are there who shudder
as they think of the summer and the street
life for the children who will find the
Fairgrounds and the care of trained teach
ers godsend whose value cannot be meas
ured by money. In many other cities the
Fairgrounds are supported from the school
funds.
Some teachers seem to be expecting to
collect only about dollar from a class,
yet where 1 have spoken to the children
and asked how many could collect or save
ten cents for the Fairgrounds, every face
has lighted up and every hanG has been
raised.
Principal Murch collected $78 yesterday
forenoon at the Force School, and he guar
antees the entire sum will be not less than
$1o0. The Morgan School held lawn fete
for Fairgrounds yesterday evening. Mss
Isabel Ressel, teacher in the Lincoln
School for colored children, has asked her
children to raise 81 for the Fairgrounds
She says she will make up any deficiency
in this amount herself If the other teach
ers would take up the collecting in this
spirit and with such interest the play
ground fund would be raised at once"

Blanks Defeated the Freshmen.

Two games were played in the Govern

the spectators We're treated to some Of the
finest base ball of the season.
The Blanks, not satisfied with defeating
the Pressmen Friday, repeated the dose in
more impressive manner in the first
game and won out easily by 10 to 3. The
Pressmen lost the game through errors,
Webb being the chief offender In this line
with four wild throws chalked I'D against
him.
The winners played fast, snappy ball
running the bases finely and hitting the
ball hard and timely.
Williams essayed to do the twirling stunt
for the losers and was not much of a sue
cess. being wild and ineffective Singleton
was on the firing line for the Blanks and
was batted harder than the score indicates
His fine support however. kept the runs
down.

latter making fine running catch which
looked to be easily safe. Daley led In bat
ting with three slashing singles
The Freshmen scored one run In the first
on two singles, an error by Deakins and a
hit batter. They got three more in the
fourth on five consecutive hits. Their last
run came In the sixth, Karnes singled
went to second on Deakins' error and scored
when Potts was thrown out at first The
Blanks did not score until the fourth when
they got four. and after that scored almost
at will. The score:

last evening. Aloysius batted out two runs

in the lead and this advantage 1t main
tained to the end, the game closing with
the score 6 to 3.
Finnegan, who has had great success as
the War Departments star twirler, put
them over for st. Patrick's, and was quite
effective, errors being largely responsible
for the runs secured by the winners. He
struck out ten men and allowed only two
men to reach first on free tickets.
Cantwell had the Saints guessing at all
times, Landsittel being the only one to
guage two twisters at all successfully. Ten
men famed and only one walked.
Two errors, q single, and LandsittefS

for St Patrick's in the first In the third
Landsitters single and two misplays put
