not been fortunate in making friends during n,r

the two youths.
The base ball spirit at Lowell was stronger
than ever. and the season for prelimlnar!

before you lef for good. Would like to
know the real reason. Don't look we'll to

short quick sentences which he used
when he was much interested.
This" said Hal. handing him the let

have an education. In order to do that
had to earn enough money to pay into
the family what 1 could have made in
working day times.
This was only after I was old enough
to work for others. So I worked early
in the morning and late at night and
made up to the folks the time I spent at
school. Now, your parents know the
value an education will be to you. Your
father is a Lowell graduate. and they
have been saving this money for years
in order to spend il on your first year at
Lowell. trusting to luck that some way
will be found to let you go on. It's been
their one great happiness. and they'd
probably feel mighty bad to see you turn
up at home without their sending for

to get the most out of II this year. and
get ready to make the burden lighter

scholarship prizes would do 1t. Of course.

ORGANIZE CLASS LEAGUES.
Georgetown to Have Annual Series
: in Two DEPARTMENTS.

Opening on Sunday morning. April 8, the
two class leagues at Georgetown Uni
versify will begin what promises to be
one Of the most interesting campaigns
since the institution of the series. At a
recent meeting of the presidents of the
college classes and the members of the
executive committee of the athletic as
ISOLATION it was decided to make the in
terclass events of the future what they
used TO be in the past. and Immediately
steps were taken to provide banners to
be awarded teams in both the college and
prep schools winning the championships
Although in the last four years these
games have been productive of great in
terest and spirit. the series were so short
that the benfits were not lasting Ones
and little chance was given the varsity
coach to get a line on material for his
aggregation another season. This spring,
however. games have been so scheduled
that each class pine will have to play each
other class nine, while there will also be
time left to hold the interdepartmental
championships after the class teams have
finished their work.
. The interdepartmental schedule will
not he made up Immediately after the
Easter holidays. although II Is known
now that the first battle in this league
will take place on May Is. Before then
the college and prep school will both
have completed their campaigns, SO that
nothing will be in the way of making
the latter games successes.
The schedule is follows:
April 3. Sophomores VS.. Freshmen,
Third Prep VS.. Fourth Prep; April 10,
Seniors VS.. Juniors. First Prep VS.. Second
Prep: April IL, Sophomores We. Juniors.

milk in tin pals.
One summer he worked in barber
shop, because that was the only thing
that he could find to do around the little
town where he lived. When he got into
high school he gave up the milk and pa
per business to q younger brother and
spent his time clerking in q grocery store
every evening and on Saturdays, and
made enough money that way so that his
parents were content to let him follow
out his ambition to secure an education.
Sundays he played base ball when it
was base ball weather. and in Texas,
where he lived, It was that kind Of
weather nearly all the year around
That's where he learned to like the game
and also where he learned the first prin-
ciples of it. After he had been gradu-
ated from the high school he went to
Wahoo College, which was only fifty
miles from his home.
1t was little more than a preparatory
institution, although the course of study
was broad enough SO that a graduate
from there could enter Lowell without
further examination. The summer be-
fore going to Wahoo College Hagner. had
sold books-was q real book agent-and
he made enough money in the three
months to keep him at college for a
year. The expenses at Wahoo were not
large, and there was something left over
for his folks. This he did every year
while at Wahoo, so that he was able to
give all of his time at school to his stud
les and base ball. He learned to love the
game as nothing else in the world. He
found he had q certain naturalness which

WILL NOT CATCH.
Wade Killifer to Be Used for
Utility Work.

1t has practically been settled
that Wade Killifer will not be
turned into catcher by Manager
McAleer The two have had sew
eral conferences on the subject,
and, although Wade would like to
pick up the extra ducats that go
with the job. he is fearful that the
work behind the bat will slow him
UP in other departments of the
game KilIifer has some class as
an in and out fielder, not many
points removed from the stars. and
will probably show decided i'm
provement this year. Manager
McAleer has several veterans who
may blow" this year, and Wade
will come very handy if just such
a position arises. Killifer might
have made q first-class catcher,
and then, again, he might not. and
while he was trying for that job
80 of so decidedly In his other de-
partments as to chase him back
to the minors.
'Rapp and Hardy have satisfied
me-" said McAleer last night. that
they have class enough to help
out Street when the necessity
arises, and I have about concluded
to not take any chances on hurting
Killifer in trying to develop him
into a receiver. He Is a splendid
player and there is no certainty
that he won't break into the regu-
lar lineup before the. season
starts"
This will be good news to the
many friends Of Bill Rapp in
Washington, as 1t practically in
sures him a berth for the season
with the Nationals. In the four
innings Bill worked Saturday he
looked very good, being chuck full
OF ginger, something very essential
to make a major league catcher.

boys, let's work out hard until noon, and

blowing over the park and the order was
welcomed by everybody. The fact that
they could have a half holiday and get
out of the cold Fingered the players up
wonderfully. and the way they worked
for two hours and half was pleasant to
look at.

was the first pitcher selected to serve
them up for the batters Bob worked
with a hearty good will, used plenty Of

Frank Oberlin was next called on to

found difficulty in locating the plate. In
the last five minutes Oberiin came around

the plate in almost regular order.

the big fellow was at the plate. Every
body looked up to watch what would

Bad News From Home and Flight.
Hal. in fact, was feeling very good
about this time. The winters cold had
given way to the rare warmth Of the east
ern spring. The grass was green, the
trees were in leaf. the sun was just right
mot too warm-like his own balmy Cali
fornia. He was making friends among
the students; his prospects Of getting into
some OF the big games was very good
he was happy. He had a good chum In
Hagner, whose more extended experience
with the hard knocks Of the world had
made him wise for his age, and he was
good adviser for Hal.
You see. Hagner had worked for every
thing he had gotten in the world. He
couldn't remember when he didn't work.
When he was going to grammar school
he sold papers at night and Saturdays.
In the mornings he had to get up early
and deliver milk to the few people who
could be induced to patronize the Hagner

aged to catch the last car of the train
just as she pulled out. There he stopped
long enough to catch his breath. for he
knew they couldn't get off now since it
was an express to Boston without stop.
Hans walked into the car. His first
glance showed him a blue hat and suit
that looked like Halls, and as he came
up to the seat he was just about to
slap him on the back with a Hello.

Up in the car next to the smoker he
found Hal. He was sitting by the win

in his hand he held the letter from his
mother, which he was rereading.

him gently on the shoulder. whats

Hal looked up in surprise at the famil

without bidding you goodbye"
