BATH VS. HIGHLAND

from Heallng OpflnSS anu MollVe
rey High schools, and a double
header victory for the home schoo
was the result.
The Bath boys came in Frida,
evening, going into quarters at Ho
tel Monterey, and at 2 p. m. Sat
urday, a few hundred people me
colt sting mines on the Monterey
diamond. The fact that so many
remained until the close of thu
game was proof of unusual interest
for the afternoon was entirely "tot
cool for comfort" and, while over
coats and straw hats formed
novel C combination, they were in evil
dence, and, some pretty schoo
girls in peek-a-boos had to call fol
heavier adornment.
Following are the names OF the
young gentlemen composing the
visiting team:
Stuart Scott, Dow Freshman.
Tom Hornbarger, Jesse Mustoe
Carl Hoover, Richard Richardson
Robert Mustoe, Edward Lowman,
D. D. Payne.
The home team: June Trimble,
Warren Campbell, Alfred Warner,
Roy Campbell, John Slaven, Ernest
CARRIER, Claude Simmons, Mckin,
ley Sipe, Walter Gum.
Both teams may be said to belong
to the junior or scrub" class, but
they had surprises in store for
some, much of their work being
highly creditable.
The Monterey team proved de-
cidedly the stronger and the visitors
at no time got beyond second and
failed to make. a run. The score
at the close stood II to 0 in favor
of Monterey.
The literary contest came off 1T
8 o'clock in the High School build
ing and was discussion of the old
question of capital punishment
"Resolved that it should be abolish
ed"
There were three debaters from
each school, Richard Richardson
Robert Mustoe and Carl Hoover,
of Healing Springs, presenting the
affirmative, while Arch Wagner,
Ralph Trimble and Arlie Swecker,
Monterey High School, had the
negative side.
In this, as in the ball contest,
Monterey had the advantage, and
the decision of the judges, giving
them the victory, was approved no
less by the visitors than by the au-
dlence generally.
The judges selected were Miss
Hester Jones, of Doe Hill, Mrs.
Boyd Stephenson, of Monterey,
and Mr.. John H. Lowman, of Day
ton,
The efforts of all the boys were
creditable, and, of most of them
excellent.
II is known that the home school
had much larger total from which
to select it's three contestants, and.
while Monterey is justly proud OF
the showing made and the victory
our neighboring institution has nc
cause to be ashamed of its repre-,
sentatives.
During the short time the judges
were celebrating, the audience was
favored with a couple of well-pre
pared and splendid quartettes, anc
a pretty recitation by Miss Lurs
Doyle.
All in all, the occasion was {
pleasant one and good will come O.
it. One pleasing feature of the du
al contest was the bringing close
together of the two schools and
cementing of cordial relations. The
visitors were great in their defeat
and the victors showed no diposi
zion to eloat or boast. Ordinarily
