ATHLETICS AT HIGH
 BEGINNING TO BOOM
Coach Bassett Has His Hands Full Handling Track and Baseball
 Squad.

Athletics at the Pine Bluff high school are beginning to boom. Every day the squad of athletes grows larger. Coach Bassett has his hands full these days, handling the track and the baseball teams He has had some difficulty in getting the track men started as he lost almost all of his best men last year, but now some of the younger boys are showing Up and he expects to have fairly good team ready for the state meet.
 iPerdue, big Mcintyre and Albright are the only old men left from last year and with the addition of many new ones who are coming out the squad will look much better in a few weeks. The coach thinks he has some fast men to pick from. Roma is show ing up we'll in the dashes, with Per- due and young Sorrells getting in form with the shot. Big Mcintyre can be counted upon with the weights and should easily hold his own against any in the state.
 There are number who have not shown much speed but are anxious to learn and are trying their best to make track stars. In the jumps the coach has number of candi- dates. Heinie Mccain, Rutherford, Wynne and Howell are showing the best form. With good weather and plenty of pep, the high school squad ought to show much class by the time the meet is pulled off.
 Baseball is attracting large num- Der of the boys. Two teams practice daily and are showing better form than this time last year. The boys are swatting the ball hard and are fast getting down to business. Yes terday the coach lined up the regu- lars against the scrubs for five in- nings, and the seconds held them to to 0 score.
 A squad of pitchers and catchers are working hard to make the team. Out of three catches and six pitchers, Coach Bassett ought to be able 70 pick battery to hold their own with any team in the high school class. One of the best of his catchers had his hand broken several days ago and will not be able to play this season. Lucky that he had several first rate men to take his place.
 Those trying for the team are Catchers Wynne, F. Gould and How ell; pitchers big Mcintyre, Gould, '. O'Connor, Leach, Mccain and Jones infielders, Wilson, Perdue, Marshall, Hensley, Mccain; outfielders Coch- ran, Cross, Chatfield and Sanders.
 A schedule is being arranged and soon the ball will start rolling.

breakfast, and as soon as the meal
was over he took Mr.. Cosgrove aside,
and I heard the two men talking ear
nestly together.
When their conference was ended
he beckoned me to como upstairs
again. I followed him. bewildered,
but certain that Dicky had been con-
cealing something from me. He is
not an accustomed prevaricator, and
his manner was exactly that of a
school boy furtively trying to throw
his teacher off the track of his mis-
deeds.

Suppose we so tramping today in

chalantly. but I saw that he was
watching me warily as he spoke.
"Why?" asked. I'VE tramped yes
terday, and l had so counted on fish

change your mind?"
"Oh, nothing at ALL" Dicky assured
me hastily. But l don't feel like
fishing today, and I'm not going to DO
it,
