DURING the Dodgers training
trip in 1907 Rucker displayed
the form which has made him ia

place on the Brooklyn staff. Nap
was little unsteady during the
early part of the 1907 season. but

the class that has made him the
best southpaw In the National
league, if not the best in baseball
In the battles of 1908, 1909. 1910 and
1911 he has been the leading box
man OF the Superbas' staff.

In the morning matches the play
ers Will clash in Ave flights. The
winners continue in the same di-
visions. The losers in each flight
constitute the losers divisions and
they meet in the afternoon in the
first rounds of the losers divisions.
Tomorrow the semi finals will be
played in all flights in the morn
ing and in the afternoon the finals
will be decided.
Owing to the fact that 40 couples
had to be started from the first tee
this morning in time so that all
could finish their match rounds and
be ready to duplicate this after
noon. the start was an early one
and the pairs were smashing away
with their irons for the first green
before the fog that covered East
Lake had fairly had time to blow
away. After a scattering start the
players began to pile up at the first
tee. and from that time forward
until nearly II they got away at
from three to five minute intervals,
depending on the time it took the
couple ahead to get off the green.

B. H. s. NOTES.

There will be private dancing class formed at Miss Halls dancing school next Monday evening at 8 o'clock. This will also be the reor- ganization of last years private class which was a decided success.
 The opinion, that a senior straw ride should be given soon, is prevail ent throughout the class. This kind of an affair was held last year very successfully, and if should start the festive season in this manner now, a good time would be assured.
 After a week of hard practice the B. H. s. team left for Meriden where they will play the Meriden H. s. elev- en. As the weather was not propitious last week, many rooters stayed home; i; but. with favorable weather today, a large delegation will probably ac- company our warriors
 It is the boast of the comm ercial team that they can wipe the gridfron with the varsity eleven. Now as long as they have spoken with such assur- ance. surely, they will not hesitate to back up their statements. So speak up commercials
 There seems to be quite a fad at present in the, upper classes of writ ing notes or inscribing verses in others books. It appears that such ones would prefer to commit them selves by pen rather than tongue
 The freshman team went to Mil- ford today to play the Milford H. S. Neither eleven lacks confidence
