CLOSE OF Y. NJ. c. A. BIBLE STUDY
CLUB

Wednesday afternoon, april IT,
1918, marked the close of the Y. NJ. G..
A. Bible Study Club in Maysville High
School. If this first year is any indi-
cation at all we are positive that in
the succeeding years Maysville High
School will surely go lover the top"
of the Y. NJ. C. A. ladder.
This club was very discouragins
organization at first because most of
the boys thought that they would be
branded as "sissies" and were afraid
| to do the right thing because of few
sackers, who can be found in every
organization under the sun. But af-
ter much persuading on the part of
the president and secretary, this club
proved to be decided success. Start
ing out with about fifty members, this
was soon increased to eighty.
The boys of Maysville High Sci" 20,
should feel very fortunate in haNiA
such a splendid leaders. by whom
they could guide their steps, Mr.. E.
VI. Baber our district Y NJ. c. A. Sec
rotary and Mr.. H. c. Curran, our To-
cal leader.
Too much credit cannot be bestow-
ed upon our district Y. NJ. c. A. Sec
rotary for his interest and watchful-
ness over all the schools in his dis
trict. When we say this we are sure
we are voicing the opinion of every
Bible Glass member in this district.
So lets give nine big Rails! for Mr.. +.
I NJ. Baber letting him know that next
year we, the boys of the district, in
tend to make ours the banner one, if
we haven't already.
! Now boys we come to our local
teachehs, Mr.. H. c. Curran. Words can
not express his value to us as a whole.
! Mr. Curran has given IN his time for
one hour each week to come over and
show us the right paths of life. We
can easily say that the boys of Mays
vile High certainly showed very
much discretion for choosing such a
fluent and eloquent speaker. Here's
hoping that the boys of future Y. NJ
c. A. classes will use as much judg-
ment in their selection. We, as stu
dents of Maysville High School, wish
to publicly thank him for we think
we have privately, for his inestimable
service to us.
Wednesday afternoon closed this
profitable study course by an exami-
nation, submitted by the Y. M. c. A.
board of the state. Ten out twelve
questions we're chosen and sixty-three
students took the exam.
One more word before the ques-
tons. We feel sure that this little

stilled that self same spirit into our
hearts. We hope that the boys of fu-
ture generations will reap the benefits
of the club formed in 1918.
The following are the questions

/. Name six qualities that should

question as to High School boy and

4. To what extent II at all, is a
| man responsible to others for the way
| in which he uses his money?

 FOR NEXT SEASON
National Baseball Federation
 Takes Preliminary Steps /

Cleveland, Aug. 1-Members of the executive committee of the National Baseball Federation and representa- tlVes of major league baseball Club7 will meet in Cleveland Sept Is td take preliminary steps to enlarge the fcderation's activities next year.
 Dr. RaycrOft, members of the Na+ tional Training Camp Commissions conferred with Clayton c. Townes. organizer of the federation and mem- Der of the executive committee, this week, and favors a plan for conduct ing organized baseball by the federal tion and representatives of major league clubs.
 Teams will be composed of play- CTS working at some essential occu- patton five or five and half days each week. Rules of the federation may be arranged so as to permit ma- jor league players who will be com- pelled to give up their present c~ cupation because of the work or fight order to take part in the games. The composition of the circuit is noE definitely known.
 The federation at present is Cofn- posed of Chicago, Cleveland, Pitts+ burg, Cincinnati, Toledo, Detroit Coz lumbus, Louisville Akron. Canton and Johnstown. It is understood that each city in the circuit is likely to be represented by two clubs in ordeT to permit games every Saturday and Sunday, one of the teams always be- ing at home when the other is on the road.
 The receipts of the games will be used to pay the players in addition to wages received for working for the company they represent on the diamond and their travelling expenses. A percentage will be given to owners of league baseball parks where the games are played and the rest will go to the athletic equipment fund maintained by the national commis- sion on training campygactvities.
 Major league owners in several cities are said to look with favor upon the proposition and will cooperate,

confiedent his club owners will vote unanimousl to close earlier than Sec retary Baker stipulated. Clark Grif- filth, manager and part owner of the Washington club, and Charles Comis- key, owner of the Chicago Americans are the only club owners opposed to the plan Johnson said, and added that Comiskey had agreed to cast his vote with the majority
 Should Finish Schedule. Pittsburgh, Aug. 1.-Barney Drey- fuss president of the Pittsburgh Ma tionals, believes the National League should finish it's schedule. "So far as Ban Johnson and the American league are concerned I shall make no further effort to con- suit with them regarding the worlds series or discuss probable plans the National League may have as to when the season should be closed" he said yesterday.
 Dreyfuss was recently named by the National. League to confer with officials of the American circuit on l the question of closing the season and staging a worlds series. Baseball is our business" he con- tinued. We, of course, will com ply with the governments ruling, which makes it plain that all ball players within the draft age must l seek other employm ent after Septem- 1 Der i. But the government is not l going to stop us if we continue with teams composed of players outside the draft age. I for my part, believe that the National League should go right ahead and finish it's schedule"
 Strong for Series in September. 1 Cincinnati, Aug. August Herr mann, chairman of the National l Baseball Commission said yesterday 1 he would not attend the meeting of the National League called by John K. Tener, president of the league, for | Saturday at New York.
 "I am not going to the meeting of the National League" he said. 1 Some other National leaguers will not be there either Why should WIG | go? We have a tacit understanding l to keep right on with the schedule till September. 1, and not to worry in the meanwhile.
 "There isn't any reason why a l worlds series cannot he arranged to | begin September or 1. The mon who will play the worlds series will 1 be granted ten days or two weeks | by their draft boards in which to find jobs. By our system of finding es- sential work they will be at work l before that
 FayorS Series in September. l St. Louis Aug. 1.--Branch Hickey,
 president of the St Louis Nationals yesterday announced that, at the meeting of the league directors at New York, August 3, the vote of his
 club would be cast in favor of ending

Cincinnati, Aug. IA decision on how and when to end the baseball season of the two major leagues will be reached Saturday at Cleveland. Att the request of B. B. Johnson, presi- dent of the American League, Chair man August Hermann called the meeting of te National Commission for II o'clock Saturday morning at Cleveland.
 Hermann also wired invitations to the owners of the clubs in the Ma tional and American Leagues to at tend and hermann said indications are that practically all club owners will be at the meeting. John K. Tener, president of the National League, in telephone conversation from New York to Hermann, said he would not attend the meeting, as he had decided not to attend any more sessions of the National Com mission This, it is understood, is in line with his declaration several weeks ago that he would not sit with Johnson in any baseball matters, fol- lowing the dispute over the Pitcher Perry case.
 Chairman Hermann said that at the Cleveland meeting the question of when to close the major league seasons and also the question of hold ing a worlds series will be definitely decided.
