FRIDAY APRIL. Is. 1913
SYLVIA HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT.


The commencement exercises of
the Sylvia High School were opened
Tuesday morning at II o'clock.
There was large and representa-
tive crowd of people from all parts
of the county, who had gathered to
hear that distinguished and beloved
son of Jackson, Dr. Caleb A. Ridley
of Atlanta.
The first feature of the program
was quartet by Mrs. Geo. P. Miller,
Miss Lucy Luck, Rev. j. j. Gray and
Mr.. Ben H. Cathey, Jr. The invo-
cation was pronounced by Rev.
7'had Deitz, of Bryson City. Then
another quartet, The Lord is My
Shepherd"
The speaker was introduced by
Hon. James H. Cathey.
DR.. Ridley delivered most won
derful sermon on THE Many-sided
Man of Galilee." Every one in the
large congregation was transfixed
and held spell-bound by the power
Of his eloquence as he beautifully
pictured the .''Many-sided Man of
Galilee" in his application to the
several phases of human life. The
sermon was intermixed with home
1y illustrations, so simple that the
smallest child could understand and
yet so powerful as to bring the
tears to the eyes of the strong man;
for DR. Ridley, being a child of the
mountains and of nature, has "a
little touch of nature that makes
the whole world kin" He is able
to understand the feelings and
thoughts of the human mind and
heart by being in touch with Nature
and her Author, The Many-sided
Man of Galilee."
He showed how Christ is supreme
in the home and through it's agency
draws men to Him. His tribute to
home was perfectly beautiful; and
he told of his home among the
mountains Of jackson county. He
proved how Jesus is supreme in
the intellectual world and the mind
cannot be at its best without the
Christ. He told of how the Savior
is King of the moral kingdom and
then of the Nazarene as Ruler of
tha spiritual, of how the question
Of Job If a man die shall he live
again" has come ringing down the
ages, that neither science, philoso-
ply nor law with all their power
and majesty is able to answer, and
how it is answered finally and uu-
hesitatingly in the affirmative by
The "Many-sided Man of Galilee."
The exercises of the first and
second grades were held at 3 o'clock
in the afternoon. The teachers of
these grades, Misses Inez Cathey
and Inez Weaver, had arranged q
most interesting program. The
little tots were we'll trained and de-
lighted the audience
The features of this program
were: the little operetta, The Sow
ereign of the year. the "May-polt
Dance" the Japanese Drill" tn,
Little Soldier Boys and Down il

and Alice Gray, and the closing
chorus PLAY land
At 8:15 in the evening, the pupils
of the third. fourth and fifth grades,
under the direction of Misses Lillian
Stillwell, Bertha May Henson and
Mrs. Miller, rendered the following
attractive program:
Echoes, Song by Fourth and Fifth
grades; recitations by Second Grade
pupils; play, THE Rigmaree" by
five children: The Little Workers"

The Contests in defamation and
recitation were held Wednesday
morning. In the declimation con-
test between Walter Allen, Alex
Ashe and James Ashe, the medal
was won by James Ashe. Next
was the recitation contest for the
medal offered by the Woma's Home
Mission Society, between Misses
Gertrude Allison, Rebekah Cathey,
Pearl Long, Dorthy Mckee and
Mary Willie Rhea. Each Of the
girls aouitted herself we'll and the
medal was won by Rebekah Cath
ey.
Prof. David H. Brown presented
these two medals and one to Mary
Willie Wells, won bv her in the con-
test in composition.
The next feature was the excellent
annual address by, Prof. N. P. Walk
er, of Chapel Hill.
In the afternoon the people enjoy
ed hearing Dr. Ridley again, at 3:
o'clock he delivered lecture.
From the opportunity our people
had of hearing DR.. Ridley in both
capacities, It is lard 20 decide
whether he is at his best on the
stage or as a pulpit orator, for he is
master of both.
The final entertainment was
given Wednesday night by tn
pupils Of the higher GRADES under
the direction of Mr.. Hampton and
Mrs. Miller. After talk, to the
patrons of the school and the pupils
by Mr.. Hampton, an interesting pro-
gram was rendered, the main feat
ures of which were The MARRIAGE
of prince Flutterbee" The Panta-
mine "Old Folks at Home" several
recitations, THE Young Debaters'
and splendid music program.
Taking it altogether the Com
mencement compares very favor
ably with that of any school of the
same class.

In the World OF Sport
FARGO HIGH LOST FIRST
GAME TO THE ALUMNI

The showing of Fargo high school in
dts first football battle of the year,
Saturday was a distinct disappoint-
ment to it's followers. The team was
outplayed by the alumni bunch, al
though the latter were not nearly as
Mt, physically as the high school boys.
In justice to the team of 10 it must
be said that they were up against
some of the best stars that were ever
turned out Of Fargo high. Nesbit,
Rusch, Berner and other members of
the alumni played football that was
at times dazzling, although they were
soft and stalled through a portion of
the game. az
The score at the end of the game
was 10 to 0 in favor of the alumni.
The high school did not seem to be
able to break through the strong inter
ference of their more experienced OPP
ponents. Also the alumni line were
able to get through the midgets' line
at will and many high school plays
were broken up before they got start
ed. Only once did the high hold more
than their own and that was in the
third quarter.
For the alumni Bob Nesbit played
the best game and any time a gain
was needed he was given the ball.
Nesbit has not lost any of his old time
speed. The rest of the back field were
also good as long as they lasted, Healy
n Berner making many gains. Ruscll
displayed excellent Judgment in select
ing his plays all through the game.
McEnroe n Hauser played a strong
game at ends as long as they lasted
as did the rest of the team.
Hines was the high schools best
player, he was the best ground gamer
they had and was strong on the de-
fence. He also punted for the midgets
n almost in every case kicked the
ball way past his opponents. Boise,
for the time he was in the game, made
good gains every time he was hand
ed the ball. Melchoir at quarter while
he did not how up as well as Rusch
of the alumni put up a good game for
the first time at that position.
Sullivan. Ridley and Gormen were the
best men on the line for the midgets.
The game was pretty close the first
quarter and the ball see-sawed back
n forth. In the second quarter Nc
Enroe Of the alumni intercepted a
forward, pass and made forty-nine
yards, before he was stopped. And a
few minutes later Nesbit was sent
around the M for a touch down. He

cult complete this process the longer
the time left to groom their veterans,
particularly their boxmen, for the
worlds series contests to be staged
at the Polo grounds and Shibe park
early next month.
Then, for the safely landed winners
1t will be merely a question of playing
out the schedule in a way best suited
to condition the post season conten-
tons. Among the rest Of the clubs,
however, there still remain several
pretty fights for position, sons Of
which may not be decided until the
seasons very close. In particular the
Observation-Disclosures battle for Sec
ond place in the American league is
exciting keen interest. From possible
winners of the flag Birmingham's men
now find themselves driven to a pass
where they must fight their hardest
even to hold the next to the top posi-
ton they have occupied for some
months. The Senators have been
coming fast of late and Saturday
worked up to a tie with the Maps.

New York, Sept. 22.-Only a matter
of mathematical possibilities now
stands between Giants and Athletics
and the pennants in their respective
leagues. Today may see Connie Mack's
men past the point which will give
them the flag even if they lose all~their
remaining games. Not many days aft
erward the players under John Nc
Graw's tutelage should find themselves
in a similar impregnable position.
With the completion last week of the
cleveland rout the failure of the Phil
lies to do better than break eVen in
q week when they had to close up on
their rivals if ever; the pennant races
in the two major organizations were
over. .~~-r- '-- -a--t ...-.. u.
The New York Nationals may be ex-
pected in the week just opening to
play their hardest so that the .clinch-
ing game may be won at the earliest
possible date.
Likewise the Athletics are looked
to for an earnest effort to come out
on the winning side in the double
header with Chicago tomorrow, the
bagging Of which would put them past
the possibility of being overhauled.
The quicker the leaders in each cir

luck would win. But before the end
or another two weeks the prospective
rivals are. likely to settle down to real
business. McGraw and Mack will
doubtless bring their forces to the
wire in the very best shape for a bit
ter fight. With both teams travelling
at their best PAGES the series should be
q hummer just as it would be a hum
mer If both were at their worst. Should
either team arrive at its true form
while the other maintained the cratic
behavior that characterized the stretch
run of he pennant races the competi-
tlon in the annual classic would very
likely develop into much Of a farce.
Ihe Giants have the greatest op-
portunity imaginable to go round the
world this winter as champions of the
universe. l do not see how the Athle-
tics can beat McGraw's bunch If it is
able to get back to the form it showed
the first three months. without a 800
hitter McGraw went through a dis
astrous slump that lasted nearly two
months. That speaks volumes for the
pitching at his command.
Pitching Is a great deal Of a worlds
svries argument. In this line Nc
Graw lays it all over Connie Mack.
The crafty leader of the Athletics has
only w o very much overworked veter-
ans at his command-Southpaw Eddie
Plank and Indian Bender. Both have
been worked to death. Mack has a
bunch Of young talent which has been
very erratic all season. They may
stand up under the strain of a worlds
series and again they may not.
Outside of the box McGraw can just
about hold his own Meyers and Nc
Lean are better all around men than
Schang and Lapp. The Philadelphia
infield has a shade on the Giant inner
works but the Giants have the better
garden trio. When the Giants were
hitting to form they could hold up
their end in this department with the
smuggling Mackmen. And what Nc
Graw lacks in hitting power he more
than makes up for in sheer speed.

SEASON ENDED

New York. Sept. 22.-The I~nterna-
tional league season closed today with
a game between Newark and Jersey
City, which the Newarks, this years
champions, won, 5 to 4. The schedul-
ed double-header between Providence
and Baltimore at Providence was can
celled because of rain.
Today's game between flag-winners
and t~ail-enders did not affect the posi-
ton of any club. The Indians win
ming percentage was .625, or 2S points
over Rochester, and Baltimore was
third and buffalo, close up, finished
fourth. Toronto, last years pennant
winners, finished next to last.

Cincinnati, Sept. 22.--New York and
Cincinnati broke even here today, the

thanks to Johnson's good pitching
test in a ninth inning rally that kept
the large crowd in their seats until the
final ball was pitched. The score was

In the first game Johnson kept the
hits so well scattered that New York
