HOWELLS EXCELS
IN FINAL CONTEST
MOntclair High School Pitcher
Allows Academy Nine But
Two Hits.
KNIGHT PROVES HIS WORTH

In the terminating contest of a
competition that has existed for a
period extending over twenty years,
the Montclair High School baseball
team defeated the Montclair Aead-
envy nine at Academy parade ground.
Montclair, yesterday afternoon, by
score of to |. 1t was announced
several months ago that Academy
would sever athletic relations at the
close of the present school year. The
annual game yesterday was the last
of the years schedule.
The High School constituents were
out in force and when Pete Howells,
the High School pitcher, flung the
final ball in the ninth they took pos
session of the field. A snake dance
was executed. following the fashion
of celebrating victories in our big
colleges, and after touring once
around the field the jubilant sup
porters, of the winning team started
for the centre of the town with the
set intention of besmearing some of
the prominent buildings with paint of
the renowned carmine hue.
AS to the game, Pete Howel1s was
on the mound for the High School,
and thereby hangs the tale of Acad-
emy's defeat. Accorded little short of
perfect support by his teammates
he was bumped for only two hits. He
issued three free passes and except
for one brief space, when Radford
scored on Balls single, Howells took
his hat off when in tight places and
made the Academy batters a look
foolish.
Pattison was the lamb sacrificed to
the High School hitsmiths. All he
seemed to possess was an ingratiating
smile. Anyway, smile he did through
out the game, though 1t must have
been an effort several times. The
two longest hits of the day afforded
much amusement to everybody but
the academicians.
The rivalry between the schools is
very keen and in a little repartee on
the coaching line knight, of High
School, was accused unjustly, as was
later proved, of being the weakest
hitter on the High School team. Just
to establish the falsity of such a
statement Knight slammed the horse
hide to the far end of left field,
where it landed in a driveway, and
started to roll down hill toward New
ark. Before it could be recovered
Knight had romped around the cir
cult.
George Hill, the colored lad was
put in as a pinch hitter, and "sho did
LAM that ball in the eighth Patti
son put a fast one over in the groove,
and Hill stung it to the hedge way
back in centre field. While Hill sped
around the bases the Academy field
ers frantically searched for the ball.
Hill reached home and was walking
toward the bench when his team
mates warned him that a claim that
he had not touched third was put up,
and before the ball was finally found
and relayed in Hill had time to go
back to third
1t must be said for Academy that it
died fighting hard. Consistent effort
was made to get the men on the bases
throughout, while the fielding was on
a par with that of the winners. Rad
ford, the Academy centre fielder,
made a circus catch in the first in
ming that was one of the best seen on
the schoolboy diamond this year. The
score:
