For Pepco, Martin played great

He had no fielding chances, but got
three hits in his turns at the bat.
Gill also did great work in the first

Daley has captained two teams which
won successive victories over Virginia,

Central Technical and Western Have Sufficient Material
to Develop Fast Scholastic Football Teams-Bus-

One week from tomorrow the classes

will assemble, and by that time all OF
the coaches will have suits distributed

Central was the first to get into lipe
for the fail campaign. Capt. Sylvan
King distributed suits yesterday, got a
line on his men, and had a general talk
with the players and Head Coach
Thomas. who will again be in charge Of
the Blue and White team this season.
Central is losing her famous backfield
in Van Dyne, Reuter-, and Hamilton,
who graduated last June. but retains
the line which made the Times ALL

poets look bright for the Centra al team,
and another win in the inter-high school
series is confidently hoped for again
this year.
Tech Out This Week.
At Tech, Coach Clarence. Hecox Is to
get his team out this week. Tech will

All of the five Washington high

for the scholastic title. Western will
undoubtedly give the aforesaid elevens

Big Jeff, not Little Jeff.

All eyes in the baseball world are
focused on Big JEFF Tesreau, the giant
pitcher of the New York Nationals
who seems to be the hope of McGraw
for the coming worlds series. Tesreau
put Lou Richie out OF business In New
York yesterday, shutting out the Cubs
with three hits. Tesreau has allowed
less than four hits per game In the last
six contests, and seems to have estab-
lished himself as one OF the best in
the business.

friendly spirit of rivalry have long since
passed and the various clubs of the city

The annual election of school board
members To he held on Monday next

most warmly contested ever held in
Hancock, and equally as exciting If not
more so. than that of last year There
are four candidates i'm the field, COM
prising Messrs. Thomas Coughlin and
George Ruppe. whose terms expire and
who are candidates for reelection, and
William Reid and George II. Roberts,
who seek election.
There We're two other candidates, j.

bach. but these have announced their
ing vote on school trustees was polled
over Lis votes cast equalling the
number ordinarily cast at regular
city election. Notwithstanding that the
franchise at school election is limited
to persons owning property or having
children of school age. Many women
voted at the election year ago. and
the number will doubtless be greatly
exceeded this year, as interest i'm the
election appears TO DO fully as great
among the women as the men.
The incoming school board will have
the management of affairs pertaining
TO the erection of the proposed new
high school, and IT is the general de-
sire to have the best and abiest men
as school trustees on this account.
Messrs. Coughlin and Ruppe have been
identified with the preliminary steps
towards erecting a school, and one of
the reasons given by them for seeking
re- election is their interest in seeing
that Hancock has TIE best equipped |
school that is possible. Both Mr.. |
Ruppe and Mr.. Coughln have been |
members of the board for many years.
