Rev Darneille
Makes Reply

A member of the News staff today
asked Rev Ben J. Darneille as to
whether he had any statement to
make relative to the attack made on
him by the Carson News, for his
support of the candidacy of Charles
S. Sprague Tor the Democratic Con-
gressional nomination. Mr.. OAR
nellie said:
"The article in the Carson City
News was unjusti6d, because it de-
MES to man who is clergyman the
exercise of citizens prerogatives
Further, it denies him the right to
try to put into effect the very ideals
and principles he advocates and
breaches from the chancel. l did
not write to man, whom I did not
believe to be Democrat and merely
asked his support in Mr.. Sprague's

This afternoon while walking along
Nevada Street in the vicinity OF the
Regain re~idence, William Fiddler,
one of the oldest residents OF this
city, stumbled and fell, cutting a
large cash over his right eye. The
aged man laid on the sidewalk for
some time before he was noticed and
help was at hand He was conveyed
to his home in the southern part OF
the city and soon regained conscious
ness and at last reports his accident
would in no wise result seriously.
The elderly man was on his way
home and was probably overcome by
the heat of the sun.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

1t certainly looks as if Eastern will go
through the series without breaking into
the won column The southeast boys are
completely Outclassed by every team in
the league, both in the box. and when
it comes to comparing the batting
strength. This in word sums up the
poor showing the Capitol Hill school
has made on the diamond this spring.
the team in last place, for the boys are
hard workers and play their hardest from
start to finish, but merely because the
team as whole lacks ability and tai
emit Eastern is very shy of promising
athletes. and. unless something in the
Way Of talented material makes it's ap-
pearance, the school will be compelled to
take the drubbings Of the neishboring
high schools which have been more for
tunate in landing boys inclined to make
good in the high school competitions.
It is rumored that Central cleared in
the neighborhOod of $1,000 on the school
lunch This must be Centrals lucky year,
for both the base ball and track teams
give promise of having a successful sea-
son. The o street school has been TAX
ing a back seat in athletics for the past
few years. which has aroused a spirit
of determination among the pupils. The
school also has three good cadet COM
panies this year, and it would not be at
all surprising to see the flag carried off
in triumph by one of the Blue and White
companies. Popular sympathy is with
Eastern, however. as this school has
been experiencing all sorts of defeats
and it Is a safe bet that each of the high
schools would rather see the southeast
school awarded this honor If each could
not land it for itself.
In looking over the players who have
made good this season, Hoffman of Gen.
trail heads them all. His batting has
been the sensation of the league and it
would not surprise many If he lead
the list of high school batters at
the finish. This is his first year as a
member of a high school nine, but he is
making good with vengeance, and he
donned suit when he was most needed
Several other players on the Central nine
have made good this spring who are ex-
periencing their novice year In hiRh
school base balloon. This applies main
ly to Cullum, the speedy little shortstop
OF the team. He is fielding his position
in faultless style, and aside from that is
getting his occasional bingle. AS CuI-
lum served several years as a track can
didate under Bill Foley. 1t is not amazing
that he is beating out many short taps to
the opposing infield. Whether Central
lands the pennant or not, the school has
q splendid nucleus upon which to build
q winning nine for year or so to come.
The O-streeters are already claiminr
first honors, but the management Is
downing the overconfidence till after the
game with Business, which will decide
all matters.
