TRACK AND Diamond
At LOCAL SCHOOLS
Both Normal and High AS
pirants Will Work Hard
This Week.

Both the Normal and High school
track and baseball teams will be run
through hard practices this evening
An teams representing the schools are
being rapidly rounded into shape for
: the season that is now on their hands
and by the time the first game is play
ed they are expecting to be in fine
shape.
8 The High school is dividing its at
tention between baseball and the class
track meet that is to be staged this
month. The various class captains
have their men hard at work and it is
expected that some good material will
be discovered which will be used in
the Monongahela Valley High School
Z Athletic Association track meet which
will be held at Morgantown.
The Normal school baseball team
is the big thing with the Yellow and
White fans, the track team, while it
probably will be the best that has rep
resented the school for years, being
in the popular mind relegated to sec
ond place in relation to the diamond
sport. Several new players are ex-
pected this week and by the time their
first game is called the Normal ex'
poets to have the best baseball organi-
cation she has had for the past ten
years.

picked up Elmer Smith from Cleveland

lem is to develop somt infielders who
