Rvan'S Work On the Mound Was
Too Classy For Batesville
High School Lads.

In a game at BatesVille be-
tween the High schools of Bates
vile and Newport, the Newport
bunch romped away with the Sc
c0nd game of the season. Ryan
was in fine shape and retired his
opponents in veteran style only
one hit being garnered off his
delivery in the nine innings.
Neither side scored until the
second inning when Knoles, first
off, hit to right center for two
bases and Griffith and Hirsch
grounded out. With two out Ma
rion hit a nasty one to second,
which Warner failed to hold and
Knoles scored; Stallings then
went out Mcmillan to Fugett.
In the third Bevans grounded
to short and Ryan got one
through an error by Trevathan.
Umsted singled to left and An
derson came through with a dou-
BILE to left, scoring Ryan and I'm
sted and later scored when Grit
fifth rolled to second. Knoles
then flied out.
In the fourth round Trevathan
struck out but the ball went
through Stallings and Trevathan
was safe at first. He stole Sc
cond, Stallings' throw being low,
went to third on Moore's infield
out and with one down scored
when Warner dumped bunt be-
tween third and home, Ander-
sons throw being a little late.
Taylor was retired on three sue
ceSSlVe strikes.
In the first Of 9th, Griffith
struck out,Hirsch beatout an in
field hit and Marion was safe
at first on Trevathan's error.
Hirsch and Marion pulled off a
double steal and both scored
when Bevans tripled to left
field. Ryan struck out.
In the 7th, Stallings drew free
transportation, stole second and
scored when Ryan singled to
right. Again in the eighth
Stallings walked, stole second
and scored on an infeld tap by
Bevans which Mcmillan fumbled.
The Batesville team was out
classed all around in hitting and
fielding. In the 18th Mcmillan
hit one to right field, which look
ed like a homer but Young "Ty"
Carl Hirsch captured it after a
great sprint. Again in the
ninth Fugett hit one into deep
right but Hirsch made another
great run and pulled it down; it
was a brilliant piece of fielding
by Hirsch, who raised his cap

'Ostmasters Must Give all Time.


Washington, D. C., April q.
Democratic aspirants for post
office appointments who have al
ready filed their applications
should submit new applications
based upon the several provis-
ions contained in Postmaster
General Burleson's recent order
relative to the appointment of
postmasters at presidential Of
fees. Senators and representa-
tives have received applications
from candidates for appoint
ment as postmaster in which the
aspirants gave no need to the
postmaster-generaPs order. The
first and most important provis-
ion of which is that there must
be an assurance from the APP
pointee that his whole business
time will be devoted to the du-
ties of the Office to which he is
appointed.'
In most every instance appli-
cants forpostofice appointments
have failed to give assurances of
their intention to devote their
entire time to the governments
business. AS a rule applicants
submit a general statement as
to their fitness and qualifica-
lions for the position they seek.
This will not suffice, as Postmas-
ter-General Burleson's recent
order indicates. Democrats
seeking the appointment at the
hands of this administration
will find it to their advantage to
make it clear in their applica-
ton that they will give their en-
tire time to their official duties.
Postmaster-General Burleson
has made it plain that postmas-
tiers in the presidential grades
will be held to strict accounta-
bility in the matter of the time
they devote to their respective
offices, and the character of SER
vice they actually perform.
From information received
by him it is apparent that some
postmasters after securing the
appointment have imposed a
considerable portion Of the du-
ties of the postofice upon the
subordinates in order to utilize
the time for personal ends, and
he proposes not merely to dis
courage this practice, but to
stamp it out. It is the policy of
the administration to require in
all cases conscientious and eff
Gent service from it's officers
and employees.
Neglect of duty and inefficient
service on the part of postmas-
tiers will not be tolerated.

when full of hope and confidence, they
knew happiness that only comes to
a few. The garret was the silent wit

only by the craftsman who is con-

his for time during the days spent
in Stamford street.
The dark ending Of Gray's young
life was, OF course, fresh in Euchan-
ans thoughts to the last; yet just as
fresh was the memory Of their winged
moments Of ecstasy. The enthusiasm
of their waking hours in the garret
burnt in his soul whenever he looked
back and again pictured himself there
with his poet companion, anxious and
ready to conquer the world Of letters.
The world famous poem, "Ths Farm

written in garnet. The admirers
of this English poet are aware that he
