That Matty Is still loved by the fans
OF Gotham was strongly In evidence
throughout the night. He received the
greatest ovations between the innings

Polo Grounds this season. And he de.
served every handicap that he got.
Never In the world did a pitcher give
n more scientific exhibition OF what can
he done in locating tho weakness Of
another and then placing the ball &C.

Lility to locate the weakness Of this

cleaned the bases with a startling regu-
IL rity. He tried him on fast balls. slow
balls, fast ones inside, fast one outside
and up around his neck. All of these
were met with the same wicked slap and

had racked him for a home run and me

Yesterday Matty showed that he had
solved the problem that day. During
the afternoon Luderus got nothing but
curve balls that broke on the inside
corner of the plate, and not one did ne
hit all day. The mighty slugger had

nine MONTHS SCHOOL
SESSION.

Sunset, March 3O.-T h r e
cheers for Sunset!
Takes the lead in the educa-
tional spirit of ST. Landry.
Council appropriates money
for two months, making a nine
months session in all, depart
ments.
AT a special meeting of the
Board Of Aldermen of the Village
of Sunset with Mayor Joseph
.Sibille and Councilmen Horay,
Landry and Smith present, it
was decided to give enough
money to enable the Sunset
High School pupils to complete
their grade SO as to be prepared
to enter another the following
year. II was found that the
work could not be completed in
eight months, SO the mayor and
council decided to make the ap-
preparation suitable to the occa-
sion or not at all; hence, Sunset
will get nine months.
The town of Sunset is to be
congratulated on its energetic
young mayor and councilmen,
and the splendid work they have
accomplished will long be re-
membered in educational circles.
The town of Sunset is no
richer than the average, but the
cry of education came from her
little ones, and she responded.
Sunsets town council have
proven themselves to be the
people in the right place.
By a recent appropriation Of a.
sum sufficient TO extend their
public school term two more
months, thus making a nine
months session, they have
shown a spirit Of true progress
iveness, and a deep interest in
the welfare of their children.
Teachers and pupils. were alike
discouraged by the disorganiza-
ton that a short school term
threatened, and are very CRATE
full to the council for meeting the
so braVely.
They health train arrived here
afternoon, and was vel
BY quite a crowd of town
people and school children. The
lectures were well attended.
