Scholastic baseball, tennis and cricket
matches scheduled in this vicinity this

These contests will be decided on a

The remarkable showing of the West

surprise in scholastic athletic competition
here this season. When the interscho-
lastic campaign started the Speedboys
were not considered in the running by
the dopesters. However, the Orange and

The philosophers idea is developing even
kcener truth in balloon. The first switch
came last summer, when the Braves rose
and upset the Giants and Mackmen. But
the most elastic reversal came on the
first day of May, 1915, when John j. Nc
Graw and Cornelius McGillicuddy were
plotting tail enders while Pat Moran and
BIZ Donovan, two new leaders, had the
scoffed-at Phillles and the Jeered-at
Yanks in first place.
Gone-All Gone
AS c. Lamb almost remarked-"Gone,
all gone, are the old familiar landmarks"
In this sporting whirl the upset came
with binding speed. On May 1, 1914. the
Giants had three pennant years back OF
them with a fourth In sight, the Mack
men had three world series years back
of them with a fourth only canter on
ahead.
On the same day the Yanks had 10
years of disaster back Of them-and little
hope ahead. And the Phillies were break
ing and fading.
And then, one year later. May 1, 1915,
the Yanks and Phillies were leading, with
Giants and Mackmen in the cellar, look
ing as spotted as the Yanks and Phillies
had ever looked at their worst. Which,
after all, is the way of baseball, and life
and the rest of 1t.

their aggressive strength is doubled.

only one affair that can drive the Yanks
back into the second division-and this

useful ingredient in sport-speed, power,

None of them. The most useful ingredi-

cess without conceit.
If the Mackmen were slipping fast last
summer when they had Collins, Baker,
Bender and Plank, their present attitude
is not to be wondered at.

spotlight Now MAY is slipping on toward
June, and neither has yet put through a
