HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

School books will be handled
again this wear by J H. Weaver
for the board of education and
will be found at the ECOnOmv
drug store.
The Nillican & Gale text in
physics will be used. Students
will be allowed 30 cents for the
second hand Hoadley.
In an endeavOr to aCCOinmod-
ate the surrounding districts
and some individual grades in
this district, a large variety of
texts have been kept in stock
by our board of education, and
some confusion and loss has
resulted. Hereafter all pupils
in the city schools and those i'll
the rural schools belonging to
this district will use NontgO-
mery's Revised American his
tories and the Wentworth
Smith arithmetics. These are
later and better books than
most of the pupils have been
using and are little cheaper.
An old book may be turned in
at forty per cent of the price of
the new one.
The new we'll is a great i'm
prOvement over the old system
and will make it possible TO
have sinks and running water
in the domestic science and
physics laboratories. 1t is ex-
pected that these departments
will be unusually full this year.
The increase in the state aid
apportioned to our high school
will come very acceptable this
wear in securing some new
equipment. The law requires
that at least forty per cent OF
the state aid be used for equip
ment and this will put our
science department. in excellent
condition.
All students expecting to en-.
roll should attend next Monday
if possible.
The superintendent will
assist any student in securing
a good room cared for, or room
for light house keeping.

baseball club, built UP and handled by
Frank Chance, to die. Steinfeldt has

only recently that his illness took on
a serious aspect. He was thirty-seven

NEWARK 2, MONTREAL I

Revenge in large. bold, red let
ters is what the Tigers wanted
against Montreal for the defeats suf-
fered in the past two series with
Howley'e band, and revenge is what
they got yesterday. The first game
was a pitchers battle that required
thirteen innings to a decision. New
ark got the verdict after the hardest
kind of fighting. Montreal scored its
one run IN the sixth and Newark
equaled IN the seventh. Richter and
Curtis were evenly matched for
twelve rounds and then Richter weak
ened. Two battery slip-ups by the
Montreal pitcher started the trouble
in the thirteenth.

NEWARK 7, MONTREAL 3

Winning the second game IN eom-
parison to winning the first was as
easy for the Tigers as rolling or 4
log. Al Mattern got away to a slow
start, yielding two runs, but with
his usual skill the Tigerss
'sMatty' frightened, and when Newark
found Dowd the question was no
longer; Who will VIM" but How
badly viii We be beat them ?" Il was
agreed before the game began that
seven innings would be PLAYED and
that distance was Just right. seven
innings were not gone through be-
cause the Tigers did not have to take
their half Of the seventh. so only six
and half rounds we're ree1ed an.
Darkness would have prevented fiare
their hostilities.

Bill Bailey, ex-Gray hurler was a
lucky individual yesterday. AS he
was winding up to pitch the UNI
pire called time. He delivered the
ball, however, and Zwilling, the
batter. hit it to the fence, scoring
two men. The Jump refused TO allow
the hit and runs to count. As Bailey
won his game, 10, it is easy to see
that luck was with him. Joe Tinker
raised a fierce protest, but 1t did not
count.
All eyes will be glued on the Bos-
n-Cincinnati returns, posted on
Scoreboards today throughout the
country. George Stallings's name is
on every lip and many are pulling
for him to win. George was right
when he said that the Western trip
of his team would tell the tale.
In the East the clubs do not play
Sunday baseball and that one day of
rest was a big benefit to his three
Woodworking pitchers-James, Tyler
and Rudolph. Now they will have
TO work seven days a week for q
time and this is a handicap.
President Tener, of the National
League, has ordered John McGraw,
manager of the Giants to keep OFF,
his empires. Tener is aroused over a
recent article in which McGraw criti-
cised the entire staff of the National
League. Tener says that there have
been fewer brawls this season in the
National than In the American
League, and says McGraw Is re-
sponsible for most OF the trouble in
his organization.
