BASE BALL MEN
HOLD DINNER
Mr.. Heumann Makes a
Home Run with the Menu
GOOD FELLOWSHIP PREVAILS
AT THE POST-SEASON BAN
QUIET ON SATURDAY
NIGHT,

Base ball players, fans and inter-
ested sporting writer's, to the num-
Der of eighteen, enjoyed a splendid
post-season banquet at Heumann's 8
restaurant, Main street, last Satur-
day night.
From the first course until the
last, the menu was one long dream
of gastronomic delight. John Heu-
mann made decided hit with his
elegant spread, and there is a move
ment on foot to have him umpire
the games next year, as Henry Bal
les has just married and left for
Jeanette.
After the last man had finished
the last course on the menu, speeches
were the order of the evening. Man
ager Leon H. Ross started the ball
rolling by stating that Hessling is
still twirling for Honesdale, and won
no less than ten of the twelve games
in which he participated last Sum-
mer. a..
Assistant Manager Richard ].
Bracey rose to the occasion and
made few droll remarks. In fact
pretty nearly everybody had some
thing to say, particularly E. e. Will
liams and Joe Jacob. They kept the
crowd in good humor by relating a
number of lively stories.
Thomas Charlesworth sang and
played and danced the Chicken
reel in his own inimitable style.
The evening was primed with the
spirit of good fellowship and it was
universally lamanted that such sea-
sons of physical and social refresh
ment were not of more frequent oc-

Players: Captain Lester R. Brader,
who plays short, can cover second
and twirl ball with like ease;
Ben" familiarly known as Pop"
Hessling, who has been pitching for
Honesdale for the past forty years,
more or less; baseman William Man
gan, who is as clever at third as he
was at first; Catcher George M.

"Stonewall" behind the bat; "Juicy.n

many home run by his wonderful
catches in centre; Ernest Dudley.

John G. Schilling, better known as
Jack" who never let's anything get
away from him in right garden;
Clarence Helstern, bright young
pitcher with a future before him;
and last but not least "Joe" Jacob,
the life of the team, popular with
the fair sex, and a good man in left
field.

glory, too.
The fans? Oh, yes. Let's see.
There was Walter O'Connell, Fred
Lees and e. E. Williams. All of the
dyed-in-the-wool variety, too.
Sporting writer's? Yes, sir;

neatly printed and contained the Of
ficers of the Honesdale Lodge, menu

Charles Wells Comes Back

For more than fifty years, Chas.
Wells, who was born in Beachlake,
on Washington's Birthday, February
22, 1887, has wandered all over the
United States in quest of health.
Last Summer the longing to return
to his native heath and see whether
any of the home folks, whom he had
not seen for more than half a cen
tury, were still in the land of the
living, became too strong to be re-
sisted. Saturday, a week ago, he
came to the county seat where he
was overjoyed to find his brother,
Stephen Wells, hale and hearty, and
living at AZ Prospect street.
Mr.. Wells has had a remarkable
career. He has travelled over near
ly all of the States, in a search for
a cure for his incurable infliction.
This is his story as he told it to a

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS INCREASE
RAPIDLY.
Over Sixty Established Since January,
1907.

Since January l, 1907, sixty-five
Open Air Schools for children afflicted
with or predisposed to tuberculosis
have been established in twert eight
cities, according to an announcement
made in a bulletin issued today by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The first Open Air School in the
United States was established on Janu-
airy ], 1907, by the Board of Education
of Providence, R. l., at the instance
of DR.. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established in May of the same
year at Pittsburg, a third one at Bos-
ton in July, 1908, and the fourth at
Bellevue Hospital in New York in De-
eember, 1908. During the year 1909
ten schools in FIVE different cities were
opened; in 1910, sixteen schools in
twelve cities were opened; and eight
schools in five cities have been opened
to April 1, 1911, while definite pro-
visions has been made for twenty
seven more schools in six cities. Many
cities are considering the question and
will act during the coming year.
New York City now has in opera
tion twelve open air schools and classes,
and definite provision has been made
for fourteen similar classes to be
opened by next fall. Boston has five
open air classes in its schools, and Chi
eago also has several.
According to reports received by the
National Association, the result of the
open air elass-work has been to re-
store most of the children to normal
health and efficiency. One of these
open air schools or classes should be
established for each $4,000 population,
especially in cities.

American Negro than have Hoke Smith,

our people outnumber the whites, and

Booker T. Washington, who in mid
