COL0RED HIGH SCHOOL
BOYS CRACK PLAYERS
Commercial Team Again Wins
Championship, Making. Third
Straight Victory.
BASE BALL TEAM
EDWIN Il. HENDERSON,,
Chairman high school games

In the series Just finished. the boys of
the local high schools played the best
ball that has ever been seen in these
games. Commercial High School again
won the championship. For three years
this honor has gone to the Business High
lads. The team from that school was
easily the superior of their rivals and il
with little trouble that it landed
this was due largely to a weaker team
being presented to the opponents. NJ
Street and Armstrong fought ou, :or
second rung. Coach Samuel Compton of
Commercial is to be congratulated for his
work in turning out such an aggregation
of players from small an enrolment.
Armstrong; team was not able to get
together except in spots, and in critical
moments it would go to pieces.
Streets loss was largely due to lack of
teamwork and too much changing about
of players
The above mentioned players have been
chosen for consistent work in all of the
games played. and this choice has been
made due entirely to the records as
compiled by the official scorer, and
where records were inadequate the
writer's opinion was given.
Coates a Leader.
Coates of NJ Street was superior to any
of the other players on the initial sack,
but none of the players here was up to
the best form. Swami of Business was
able to get on base many times, but
could not negotiate hits. Collins was
truly one of the stellar performers in the
series. and it was largely due to his
teamwork and timely batting that the
stenographers were able to show the edge
on the other teams. At shortstop it Is
difficult to pick the best man. Turner
and Graves showed ability, but Graves
was the better stckier and the more
aggressive of the two, and yet Turner
was slightly better than Graves in field
ing. Capt. Parks of Commercial was
not as good as in past years. However.
he was better than others in the series
in fielding and base running of those
playing on third base. The outf1eld was
not strong. Steady, consistent playing
marked the efforts of the three players
above named and yet their efforts were
only mediocre. Odell was the best of
the right guardians, while Smith and
Taylor Of Commercial were good. Walker
of Commercial deserves especial credit for
aggressiveness of the kind that helps the
team, and out Of his natural sphere as a
pitcher he capably filled the breach as a
catcher and his prowess with the will
low made him formidable. Horad and
Miles were the pitchers. par excellence.
Horad's excellent work brought results
and yet Miles could have won with a
stronger team behind him.

pany's department store.

additions to selling space there
is evidence on every hand of
thousands of dollars being spent.
The management has spared
neither pains nor money to rem
der the salesrooms more COM
fhodious and attractive.
More room for many of the
departments was an absolute
necessity. To accomplish this, re-
serve stock sections were cur
tailed and balconies were con-
strueted. This latter was most
advantageously worked out on
the ground floor on account of
the very high ceiling. and now
the mezanine floor has a very
neat and convenient entrance
off Eleventh street, a few feet
up the hill from c street. This
new retail section is occupied by
the ladies' and childrren's shoe
department, which has received
very timely enlargement. The
linen. wash goods, domestic and
bedding departments also oceu-
by quarters on this floor.
On the third floor are the new
offices, skirting the entire west
front OF the store, which af-
fords admirable light for the
counting rooms. New drapery
and curtain departments, new
only in trebled accommodations
and stock for the shopping pub
lie. are located on this floor. Co
ing on through the rug and car
pet departments, the average Ia
conan will be surprised that a

for such an elegant and extern
