Aquinas
School Gives
Good Recital

Beginning a serfSs of entertain
ments to extend through a period
of three months in honor of the
25th anniversary jubilee of the
establishment of the academy on
the Pacific coast the Aquinas
school of music gave a very en-
joyable recital last evening in the
auditorium at which the majority
of students participated.
Several vocal and instrumental
selections were rendered and the
school orchestra played Haydn's
kinder Symphonic" admirably,
which indicated good training in
technique.
The school was organized in
Pomeroy, Wn., in 1883, and in
1898 was moved to Tacoma,
where it has been located since.

which has made gallant fight
against the Vallejo Ferry Co. The
club now has a membership of

against the company's $2.18, the

reference, until May, 1912, when
the Vallejo Ferry Co. enjoined
them from operating within the
mile strip of the channel, which
the company claimed was covered
by its franchise. The injunction
was upheld by the superior court
of Solano county.
Then the men walked a mile
down to South Vallejo and ran
their launches outside the mile
limit covered by the franchise.
While the case was waiting in
the state supreme court pending
decision, the Solano Aquatic club
again operated its launches with

rangement Each pitcher has a sheet

of the games in which he has played,
the date, the opposing club, the OPP
posing pitcher, the number of in
nings he worked. the times at bat
of his opponents, the number of hits
made off him, the number of runs
scored his outs, bases on balls,
hit batsmen. wild pitches, balks, the
score of the game. whether he won
or lost. when he was taken out (if he
was) and whether or not he finished
out the game.
If Secretary Jacobson will supple
ment this excellent record sheet with
a more equitable method of de-
termining which pitchers should have
credit for winning a game and which
should not. he Will have done the
players and the fans of the South a
lasting favor.
NORMAN ELBEFELD will bear
~ watching this year. The way he
has whirled right in at the beginning
of the season and strengthened what
looked like weak spots has made a
hit with the fans
II will be regretted if Otto Jordan
is allowed to drop out of the league
but Elberfeld has been in a better
position than anybody else to know
whether or not Jordan is slowing up
and naturally was not likely to make
any bad mistakes.
II Jordan goes out of the league it
will leave Clayton Perry and Jud

continuous service.
otto started his ninth consecutive
year yesterday. He made his debut
here in 1905 as manager Of the At

Jordan's record is one seldom
equaled by any baseball player. In
all his Southern League career, which
included 1,037 games, he made but
1872 errors. for a fielding average Of
81. Four different years he led the
second basemen of the league. Three
times he ranked second. Only once
did he fall as low as fourth in field
ing.
But of course a man slows up in
time Jordan Is 81 this year That
is not old but, in baseball. it is

lot of good baseball yet and should
be able to hook on somewhere as a
manager.
