THE Red Sox and the Giants, by results
l. and form, have both shown a fairly tidy
margin over other eastern clubs.
The Giants, minus Herzog. were still able
to keep the East In subsection. And II
Philadelphia. Boston and Brooklyn were
unable to suppress McGraw's team, no great
fear Is entertained from Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati st. Louis and Chicago.
II the Red Sox are to be rolled back, the
West must furnish the rolling power.
Barry Is leading ball club that looks to
be every whit strong as the winning
machine Of last ason. 1t may be that
rough opposition from the four western
clubs can hold 1t in check But unless the
four western clubs can turn this festive trick
a home they are hardly likely to overpower
the Red Sox while intrenched upon their
own home soil through June.
About Third Basmen
Frank Bancroft the war horse of the
Reds, is a great booster of Henle Groh
"Groh Is undoubtedly the best third base
man in our circuit" Banny says, "and one
Of the best I have ever SEEN should
say today that he was the best one in
baseball"
The best third basemen In the game to-
day are Groh, Zimmerman, Baker and
Gardner. With Groh leading the National
League at this nook. Larry Gardner prob

brilliant infeder and a good, hard hitter.
Last year he topped John Franklin by
thirty or forty points.
Few great third basemen ever come
along. Where fine shortstops are plentiful,
third base runs shy of classic talent. There
were Collins, Bradley and Devlin. After
these had passed. Gardner and Herzog had
the call until Herzog was shifted to short
and second. Clark Griffith picks Baker as
the games most valuable third baseman to-
day, and there are many who trail with the

OARSMEN ANSWER
CALL TO COLORS

Competition on Schuyl-
kill River
CLUB RACES IN JUNE

The response to the call to colors has
been so well answered by the Schuylkill
Navy oarsmen that it has been found neces-
sary by the Schuylkil Navy board to call
off the SChuylkill Navy regatta, scheduled
for June ., and the peoples regatta July a.
The Middle States regatta. which also
would have been rowed on the Schuylkii
on Labor Day, also has been Cancelled. The
elimination OF the last-named regatta gives
a good Idea of the condition of the rowing
game, as the association represents forty
rowing organizations in New York. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania Maryland, Virginia
and the city OF Washington.
The effect of calling off the regattas made
itself fet on the rowing men yesterday sun

for the bladesmen, but things were about

THE SCHOOL TAX.

By adopting or rejecting the special
school tax at Thursdays election, Pensa-
cola will put itself on record as favOring or
opposing prOgress-a statement that is not
strained, for develOpment-all develop
ment-is the result of knowledge and the
foundation Of knowledge is the public
school.
Our schools, not sufficient for present
needs, would be even more inadequate next
year-mOre so the year after-and so on.
Are we or are we not to have Our chill
Gren crowded into class rooms, beyond the
limit of hygiene and comfort? Are we or
are we not to see the pilgrims to the well
of knowledge turned away because even
desk room is lacking? Arc we or are we
not to have a force Of, teachers large
enough to insure the normal development
of their classes?
Pensacola boasts of being the oldest city
in America. Age cOnnOtcs excel Hence
old wine, an old family, old civilization, old
established business. But in our school
SYSTEM we are far behind modern require
ments; we are below the average of some
of the smallest communities Of the state
and knowledge is the price Of civilization.
1t would perhaps be an extreme view to
say that the burning of our high school
building didn't make conditions worse than
they were, but let not the spectacular burst
of flame draw attention from the made
quate facilities of the primary schools.
There is not much use in developing a
model high school if the preparatory insti-
tutiOns can not fit students for the ad-
vanCed courses, and the money voted by
the election Thursday will be used not
only to build the high school but to rehabi-
ltate the entire educational system.
If the election carries, a maximum Of
$4,000 a year, beginning a year from now,
will be available'-not enough to build the
new high school, unless a contractor can
be found to do the work on deferred pay
ments, much less make development in
other directions. What is needed is a bond
issue of 100000, to be taken TIP by a mill
to a mill and half tax, instead of the three
mill tax that would raise the inadequate
$4,000. That bond issue must be voted
before July, when the budget is made, and
the election must be called by petition, as
the present one has been called.
Vote for the tax district, and help the
committee circulate the petitions calling
the next election. Every dav counts. The
children demand 1.-THE most sacred call
Of all: you will be reCreant to duty, untrue
to yourselves if YOU shirk the responsible
ity.
