School Lads.

The advent of the spring weather
within the past week has brought on
again the thought of baseball. Many
are beginning to have a hankering
to hear once more the smack of the
ball, the crack of the bat, the raucous
voice of the umpire, to taste once
again the peanuts which are bought
at five a bag" as the little boy who
sells them yells, and to ieel the glare
of the sun in the bleacher seats. The
sensations of a true fan are pretty
hard to grind out on an unpoetical
and pgosaic typewriter, but neverthe-
less he, who has felt the sensations,
little needs anyone to tell him what
they are.
The committee, which had charge of
raising funds for defraying the ex-
penses of a team here this summer,
have been working on the matter on
and on as they have had leisure time.
They have raised a very considerable
sum, but they are still a little bit
shy of the mark that they must reach
in order to guarantee a good team.
At leat $500 must be raised to make
it surety. They have approached
most of the business me and firms OF
the city, and wherever they have gone
they have met a liberal response.
With a little bit more Of help and as
sistance, they can raise the required
amount that will absolutely guaran
tee first class team here this year
The school teams about the city
have been pacticing for more than g
week. According to the coaches, the
men are in pretty fair shape for a
game Out at G. M. A., Col, John
Craig, who is the head master and
general-in-chief of the big squad thai
Is working out, thinks that he has the
material for first class nine. He
is putting two or three hours each
afternoon with the cadets, and he de
clares that they will be in great
shape by Saturday afternoon wher
the first game is called.
A game was scheduled for last Sat
urday, but the young deluge or water
spout, that fell about the time tha
the umpire was ready to announce thu
batteries, put an end to even th'
thought of game.
The High School boys are alst

ORGANIZES LARGE
COMMUNITY CLUBS
IN MAURy COUNTY
ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER TOM.
LINsoN AND DR.. WARD EN-.
THUSIAST'c
MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED
More Than 15o Present at Hampshire
to Hear the Speakers-chairmen
and Secretaries Elected at Each
Place of Meeting.

Assistant Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Jesse Tomlinson has returned
from a very successful trip over the
county in organizing community clubs
among the farmers. He has been as
sisted by DR.. J. s. Ward, state apia-
rist.
Beginning at Sullivan's School
Thursday evening, and closing at Nc
Gains, they aroused great interest
among the farmers. They not only
delivered addresses to large audienc-
es, but they organized enthusiastic
clubs that promise to do effective
work along community lines in the fu-
ture. These will meet once each
month to discuss topics and problems
that are peculiar to every commu-
nifty. Their discussions, while they
will be mainly along agricultural
lines, will take a wide range and have
for their purpose the improvement Of
the whole community. The clubs re-
ceive from the state whatever bulle-
tins are issued by the various de.
partments at the capital, and the gov
iiernment documents will be secured
through Congressman Padgett. Many
of the monthly meetings will be de-
voted to practical discussion or
these bulletins as applied to local con-
ditions.
At Sullivan's school house COM
munity club was organized with 25
members. Maynard Murphy was
elected chairman and John Matthews
secretary. At Sawdust Valley a still
larger crowd greeted the speakers
and more than forty were present.
A. G. Allen was chosen chairman and
E. G. Kinzer secretary John Brooks
was selected chairman at Cross Bridg-
es and Henry H. Hill the secretary.
lTwenty-six members were enrolled.
Though the weather conditions at
Isom's Store were very adverse and
the meeting was held at night, over
fifty of the most substantial farmers
of that community turned out to at
tend the lectures and hear the speak
Iers. A club was organized with Sam
Brooks as chairman and J. V. Delk
secretary. However, the banner
crowd that greeted them was al
Hampshire where more than 15C
farmers gathered Monday afternoon
: at o'clock. V. A. McClanahan was
chosen chairman and Tom Brooks as
secretary. The final meeting was
held at McCains where a small, but
enthusiastic meeting was held with
the best farmers of that section in at
tendance. Rufus Agnew was chosen
to direct the club during the coming
lyear while Ed Hindman will assist
him in the role of secretary.
Assistant Commissioner Tomlinsor
thinks that great benefit will be deriv
ed from the organization of these
= clubs. The agricultural department
will keep in close touch and commu
nicate with them frequently in an ad
visory capacity. They will assist then
Q in all their efforts to improve farmin,
: conditions and raise the standard o

: son is especially interested in thes'
y clubs, as they are in his native coun
r ty, and so will be glad to give then
d his personal and individual attention
q If they are successful, he will organ
ize others in the county.

tural department, possibly H. S. Lip
pincott, one of the most noted ex-
perts in Pennsylvania. There will be
lecture upon the development of ag-
riculture and what the Pennsylvania
railroad company is doing to aid the
farmer and his business. This lecture
will be illustrated with stereopticar
views, possibly one hundred slides
telling the story in most attractiv'
and interesting manner In addition
it is quite likely that there will b
one or two of the railroad officials VIII
| will accompany the agricultural eS
pert and add something of interest a
to tho relations of the railroad an
the farmer to a live community.

VAUDEVILLE PROGR AM
Recs ption ard Dance Were Given
at the Criterion Academy
Last Evening.

The Junior class of the Bridgeton
High School last night rendered re-
ception to the Senior class, aud the
function was one of the most interest
ing and pleasing Of the High School
social season. This annual event is
always pleasurable, and never more
so than this year.
Both the Senior and Junior classes
are large, and with the High School
teachers the attendance was large, the
Criterion Dance Hall being filed with
the bright, happy young folks.
The young ladies were prettily
gowned in light evening dresses and
made beautiful, kaleidoscope picture
as the merry couples were moving
over the glistening floor of the dane
ing academy.
The decorations of the room were
dainty, the prevailing colors being
ruby and white, the school colors, and
there were many High School PEN
nants shown.
The reception was wholly informal.
There were no speeches, and from 9
O'Clock until the good night march
of the orchestra at midnight, the
young folks followed their own no.
tions of enjoying the function so hap
PLY arranged.
In the early part of the evening
there were two original vaudeville
sketches never before having been
seen upon any stage and the perform
ers were wholly new in the profess
sion.
Harry Kirchoff and George Tullis
presented a bit of sketch entitled
"An Oyster Stew, and it was a COM
edy diversion worth while. There
We're many happy hits running
through the act which were fully ap-
preciated by the High School folk.

EASTERN LEAGUE FIVE
HERE SATURDAY

Bridgetonians will have their first
peep at an Eastern League quintette
on Saturday night, when the Grey
stock five will be here to play Wood
side.
The Greystock team have one of the
best floor working teams of the
League, and they also have the un-
enviable record of losing the most
games by the closest scores, hence
their position in the standing. Grey
stock is really the very best of the
strictly Philadelphia teams, the other
two city teams being strengthened by
outside players.
The price of admission made neces-
sary by the high guarantee demanded
will be thirty and thirty-fve cents.

The feet must be free from pain. Many

pitched this year, nearer the form
of the 1913 sensation.
Some one has spilled a pepper box
among the Cub athletes. They are
playing ball like live men, fielding ac-
lively, and yesterday put in hits
where they would do the most good.
In the first battle with the Dodgers
they got but five hits, but every one
of these bingIes counted in the scor-
ing. In every inning safety was
registered the Cubs scored. Nine
bases on balls were dealt out by Reul-
bach and Wagner for Brooklyn, and
as soon as the bases became pOpu-
lated some Cub came to the front
with a ringing bingle that produced
desired results.
In five times up Tommy Leach got
one hit, a double. But this wallop
came when runners were on second
and third, and was worth more than
the combined hitting of the Dodgers.
Bresnahan was behind the plate in
place of the injured Archer, and ca
voTted around like a recruit. Two
Dodgers tried to take liberties with
his arm and were killed stealing. Four
times Roger went to bat. Twice he
produced timely singles, once he
walked, and the fourth time laid down
a bunt with a man on first and beat
the ball to the bag when Catcher Fis-
cher failed to handle it Clearly. There |
was one out at the time and Bresna-
han caught the Dodgers asleep with |
the soft tap. It was a good example |
of wise ball playing, doing the .unex-
pected.
Corriden seems to have had an |
electrifying effect on the other in
feeders. Even Bill Sweeney joined in |
the conversation, and was encourag-
ing Cheney throughout with clipper |
chatter. Red and Safer each got a sin
gle. Good walked four times.

around two or three stars. The catch
ing department is not overly strong,
Luck did not break we'll for the
Dodgers. They smashed three hits in
the second inning, but second base
was as far as the runner proceeded,
a double, play coming after the first
hit.
Twenty-one GIFTED balIpIayers en-
trained last night for Buffalo where
they open today against Larry Schla-
fy's crew. Not an ailing athlete was
in the party, and Tinker will able
to start the eastern invasion with his
full strength. The home stay of the
Feds was high successful, as they
won nine games out of fourteen
starts.
James Of Boston held Cincinnati to
two hits, but one was a double by
Herzog, following a pass in the first
inning, counting the only run. Ames
stopped the Braves with a trio of sin
giles and famed five. Evers got one Of
the Brave safeties.
ST. Louis hit Marshall at opportune
times and prOfted by an error by Ire
Ian. Doak and Grfner had little trou-
BILE with the Philies. Cruise of the
Cards soaked a pair of doubles. Ma
gee played first base and WingO right
because Of an injury to Jack Miller.
President Gilmore of the Federal
League denied a report that the Kan
sas City Federal League franchise
was to be shifted to Bellevue, Ky, ten
minutes ride from the center of Gin
cinnati.
According to the story sent out
from Cincinnati, all arrangements
have been completed for the transfer
of the franchise and team and George
Stovau will remain at the head of the
club. The story is based on the fact
that the Reds are not going very
strong and competition would be wels
coined by the Cincinnati fans.
