MILLS SCHOOL
PLANS BASEBALL
FOR FALL SPORT
Football Abolished, Boys Now
Turn With Enthusiasm to
National Pastime

With the inter-class series the first
game of which will be played THIS
Friday at 5 o'clock on the Mills
grounds, the Mills school will open
the year athletically with baseball.
Football has been discarded and
basketball, they decided, should not
be begun until later in the year when
the plans are beginning to be MADE
for the interscholastic series.
Five teams from each of the high
school and from the grammar grades
combined have been organized and
each will play every other team once.
Games will probably be played every
Monday, Wednesday and Friday and
the series is scheduled to end on Oct
ober 19.
Following the organization of the
series of games within the school,
Mills looms up stronger and stronger
as the likeliest contender for the In
terscholastic honors in baseball this
year. Not only will the school have
several stars about whom team can
be nodded, but they viii have a
wealth of material from which to pick
team. There is much enthusiasm
for this s.C>t among the boys of that
school a1a ( is the one championship
which they feel might go to them.

in the amendment that was adopted

Of which is taken from the student
body. the rest from the faculty. The
six members will act as a managing
board for all matters that may come
up affecting The policy Of handling tho
affairs Of the students, and recon-
mendations from the committee VIII
be made from time to time to the ath-
Ietic association as a whole for their
approval. Messrs. Greenly, Mac
Caughey and Brier are to be the faculty
members of this body, while the presl-
dents of the sophomore and junior
classes and the athletic association
form the remainder Of the committee.
For this year, the students are John
Thompson, Hing Kong Ing and Chiffon
Jones, presidents of the athletic asso-
citation, junior class and sophomore
class.
These changes are expected to great
" facilitate the carrying on OF much
minor business for the students, and
at the same time give the students
more direct hand in their own affairs.

FIRST MAN FOR CHICAGO.

1T looks to me like the White Sox
arc going to win" declares Glenn
Jackson, athletic booster and baseball
fan, Il am inclined to agree with what
Riley Allen says on the question.
Here is the way | size the matter up:
The Giants have a decided edge on
the batting, but they have left an
awful lot of men on bases. For some
reason or other they have not been
getting their men across, scoring the
runs. The White Sox. on the other
hand, have just the ability to do that
They put their men across and score
the runs on the hits.
Another reason why l am looking
for the White SoX to win is that the
first game will probably be played on
their home diamond. New York will
have to come to Chicago and play be-
fore a Chicago crowd. You know the
first game counts for an awful lot.

the White Sox the Giants might Just

MURRAY STILL A STAR.

Once more R. Lindley Murray has
demonstrated his superiority and re-
liability as lawn tennis player, says
Herbert Daley, in the New York TrlD-
une. The young player, who contrib
uted so largely to the success Of the
season of 1914 in Eastern tournaments,
the first year of his appearance in
this section of the country, may be
officially denied the champions title
and honors; still his remarkable play
ing, especially against such men as
Craig Biddle and William 7. Tflden,
Jr., on the courts of the Forest Hills,
undeniably stamps him as worthy to
wear the crown.
