Y. M. c. A. Notes

Some new features were introduced at the Stag Social on the tennis court Tuesday night. Athletic games and stunts were the order of the pro- gram and while most of the heavy work was left for the young men some of the members whose temples are streaked iwth gray were tempt ed to join in the fun
 The high jump was won by Saul Rabenowitz with several of the other contestants tied for second place. Jimmy Alton made a hit at the stand ing high jump and Clarence Miller at the running broad jump and Ben Sturges in the standing broad jump.
 In the relay race there were two teams and was so closely contested that it was decided to have the same teams have this event again at the first opportunity but the decision was given the team, composed of Mes sers. c. Miller, Bud Franz, Jimmy Clark, Jimmy Alton, Al Wasem and l.. N. George.
 The indoor baseball game avs the star feature of the occasion and make the old fans of the great American game sit up and take notice. Some DOUy Sdlu llldL IlOuHty ElilS olu w. H. Moon would make a good bat tery with little more practice, while K. F.. Silvey only fell a little short of Ty Cobb in his batting.
 Then that sparring exhibition be- tween Al Wasem and Max Spaw was some go. It was as lively little mix up as one would see on any stage mad not second of "sparring for time and no rough work. It was three round go no decision match and while the whole program was free this part alone was worth any bodys dollar to see.
 4 bunch of the men will be out on the tennis court on Monday night for baseball practice and it is expected that several teams will be organized. Come and get in the game.
