occasion After that the game pro-
 ceeded. One feature was new to the crowd, reminding them, as it did, of
 the preliminary at a variety enter
 tainment. The umpire, who stands just behind the striker, combines the
 duties of judge with those of herald.
 Every time d player went in to bat the umpire turned to the crowd and,
 in strident tones, with a voice that could be heard all over the ground, announced to the listening multitude
 who the distinguished batsman was.
 Thus it was: Ladies and gentlemen
 -(cheers) the striker is Jem Thorpe cheers)-"the un-
 doubted champion athlete of the world" Tremendous cheering.) If
 the striker happened to be caught or
 other wise disposed of, the umpire
 sang his dirge in this fashion: He's outi" The umpire who acted as
 public announcer yesterday was Mr
 klem, and the deep sepulchral tones Of his voice were greatly admired.
 The match between the two crack
 American teams provided what was
 universally admitted to be an admir-
 able exposition of the game, The
 New York men wore white: the Chi cago players Were garbed in blue Apart from the difference in color there was not much to choose be- tween the teams in the matter of physique or skill. The New Workers looked slightly the heavier, but the Chlcago players were almost if not quite as substantial. The New York team started batting. and in their first inning-the wO:d has to be carefully spelt without an s-made three. The Chicagoites in their first venture failed to score. The manner in which the striker hit the ball sometimes aloft, sometimes along the ground, but often hard enough to reach the fence-no slight feat, see ing that the bat is not like a cricket
 hat, but shaped like thick walking suick-compelled admiration. In catching the visitors are all highly eXpe;t; to put ball up anywhere
 near a fieldsman. is sudden death
 After they had seven innings each
 the New Workers were leading by $ | runs to 6. Each side added a run in | its eighth attempt. and at the finish the game was: Giants 12, White SoA

CHANDLER SCHOOL ALREADY COMPLETED
Another Sign of Rapid Settling up of
 That Region.

So rapidly has school district No 57, which constitutes Chandler and its sur roundings grown that the board of trustees is in a quandary over the housing of the more than $50 students now enrolled.
 Although it was necessary to add the eighth teacher last week the peculiar situation confronted the board of be- ing unable to find a building in which to place her scholars. The pupils have been encroaching on the different teachers who not only find it impos- sible to accommodate their classes but can not give them the attention and de- tail for perfect work required
 The two school units are filled be- yond their capacity, while every old building ever used by the school board has been pressed sinto service and still room is inadequate. There seems to be crying need for a high school building, part of which can be used for the grammar grades, but as the present situation is in the hands of the trustees the people in this district are helpless
 
 In this connection a peculiar condi- ton arises. The Mesa union high school district is calling bond election for s125, ,000 building to be held Feb ruary 2S. 1914. The Mesa high school has 225 students enrolled; of this num- Der five are from Chandler. The tax able property in the district, for which the bonds are to be voted, amounts to sS.O00.00O. Chandler's share of this is $1.700,000 or in other words the Chand- Ter district is taxed nearly one fourth Of the total amount to pay for the edu- cation of five students Two of these students go back and forth between Chandles and Mesa. the other three go | to Mesa on Monday and remain the balance Of the school week.
 Dozens of pupils in the Chandler dis frict are unable to attend the Mesa nigh school because their parents can- not afford the expense. The Chandler people feel that they are entitled to some consideration in having a high school district established here, as they believe that it would work not only a hardship but an injustice on them in having one-fourth of the tax for the proposed bond indebtedness of the Mesa union high school district saddled on the Chandler community.

there are any number of fine points in their game-points of fielding, pitching catching, and so on-of which the rounder player, with his soft ball (and his dread of injurins the girl player) knows nothing. But the game, as a game, seems to lack tensity and continuous interest. 1t is rather suggestive of a large garden party. It reminds the Australian on- locker of his first open-air picnic. It is not, to tell the truth, the kind Of pastime over which a crowd other ! than an American crowd would be expected to get excited. It is not calculated at this stage to supplant
 either cricket or football as a means Of making a Melbourne holiday.
 The Victorian team chosen to play against the New York Giants in ciuded P McAlister (captain), c. Kiernan. J. Ryder, s. Stephens. c. 1 Horsburgh, H. Nelson and A. cant.
 Half of these are well known inter- state cricketers. V. Ransford was to have played but was prevented by indispOsition. To give them a chance
 against the New York Giants they
 were re-enforced by battery" l from the visiting players. The bat tery comprised Mr. McGraw (the ] popular New York manager) and Mr. 1 Sharp. In spite of this re-enforce- ment, the Victorians could never manage to make a match of it. Their 1 knowledge Of pitching was rudiment- ary, they could do next to nothing with the mallet that does duty as a | bat, and when they started to run i they were generally run out. It is a rule of baseball that when three men ! of the side are out the whole side is cut. In the initial match yesterday each side had seven innings. The
 usual thing is to have nine innings 1 but, in view of the sided state
 of affairs, the spectators were quite satisfied with seven. The game took
 about 90 minutes to play. and in that 1 time the visitors scored 14 to their ] opponents nil.
 Giants vs. White Sox.
 Greek met Greek when the two teams of visitors went onto the | ground at four o'clock. The governor

 first ball. There was an interested
