SUCH is LIFE.

The magnificent endorsement
given the Library proposition in
the election last Monday is a
glowing tribute to the progress
i've intellectual proclivities of
the citizens of Paw Paw village.
Only 33 votes cast against the
Library GU. OF a total OF 328.
Think of it. Some of those
thirty-three were probably cast
by mistake; a few possibly
for personal reasons; some
others perhaps through jealousy
of those noble public spirited
ladies who made the Library
possible, and others of the
thirty-three probably voted that
way out of pure cussedness. 1t
is extremely doubtful if a single
man or woman in the village
could be found now, who would
have the courage to acknowledge
that they voted against it, and
if the truth was known, it is
probable that every single per-
son who did vote against it,
feels Inundated and ashamed.
But that is all over now. The
library is assured, and the child
rem and children's children Of
those who could not "See the
Light" will enjoy and profit
from the Library in the years to
come equally with those whose
philanthropic and progressive
tendencies made the institution
possible. Nor will the children
of those who opposed it ever
point back to the fact that their
parents or grand parents voted
against the acceptance of such a
gift. 1t is probable too, that
those thirty-three who did act
ually cast votes against it, will
themselves accept the benefits
to be derived from the Library
and Rest room. 1t will take
considerable Nerve" to do it,
but you will find them there, to
get their share Of the good
things, Notwithstanding their
opposition to the proposition
last Monday. Such is life.

Pershing says that such an
order is expedient in the great
plan to win the war, that ought
to be sufficient for the folks

Superintendent Kaye made a
big "Hit" Monday when he
marched down through the
streets at the head of his high
school, pupils carrying flags and
banners inscribed 1--WE want the
Library" The procession was
headed by the high school band,
and congratulatory remarks
were heard all along the street
as the various departments with
their instructors passed by.
Paw Paw is mighty proud of its
schools, the band, every depart
ment and every instructor and
the boost for the library again
confirms The True Northerner's
assertions on several occasions
that Supt. Kaye is a Real Live
Wire" and the right man for
the job.

Shut Out by Score of | to 0
in First Defeat of
Season

Newark lost its first game in the
New International League race yester
day after winning three. 1t was
Arthur Twins Rochester Hustlers that
handed the Bears their first defeat, and
they rubbed it in by shutting them out
by score of to O.
Pete Hoffman, for Rochester, and
Aiccr Jensen, the Newark moundsmen,
engaged in one of the prettiest pitch
ers' battles ever gazed on at Wieden-
mayors Park.
Jensen, who is from Perth Amboy, al
lowed the fewest hits, but unfortu-
nately lost the game. He gave but two
safe blows in the nine innings, one
coming in the second inning, which
Rochester turned into a run, and the
other not being made until the final
round, when Hoffman drove safety
to left.
Estes led off in the second for
Rochester with a clean blow to right
field for one base. He stole second
and went to third on Jensen's bad peg
to catch him off the bag. Jensen then
gave Levie pass to first, and this was
his undoing, for Levie had hardly set
foot on the initial sack than he at
tempted to steal. Newark infielders
foolishly played him for ar out and
Ed Holly touched him, but while he
was putting the ball on him Estes
scampered over the plate with the only
run of the game.
Hoffman allowed Newark but four
hits and kept them we'll scattered. New
ark came mighty near scoring in the
opening inning. Holly was called out
at the plate on very close decision,
at which he protested vigorously. With
one down Holly doubled. He tried to
come all the way home from second
while Gathers was being thrown out
at first. 1t looked as if he slid into
him out. In the sixth inning Holly
doubled with two out, but this time he
did not advance. for Gathers flied Out
to centre.

Mrs. Gavin Beats White

glory yesterday at the Montclair Golf
Club by defeating Robert T. White,
the clubs professional, in a handicap
match by 3 up and to play and col
lecting $500 or more for the Red Cross
Mrs. Gavin has not fully settled
down to her game, as she has only
played five rounds in the last seven
months. In actual play, without her
handicap of nine strokes, she did the
course in Sc to Whites IS, and while
the par is 70, she did no less than five
holes in par. Whites general putting
was poor, as he invariably overplayed
his long puts and missed his short
ones.
Mrs. Gavin had the honor and drove
long straight ball down the centre Of
the course. Whites drive was equally
good and they lay even on their drives
OF about 225 yards. They were both
snort on the approach and the hole

Stevens Institute
Squad Wins on
N. Y. u. Track

New York University's track team
was defeated by the squad from
Stevens Institute in dual meet yes
ter afternoon on Ohio Field by the
score Of 62 to so.
Weather conditions were excellent,
but the track was in bad shape. This
accounts for the slow times in several
of the contests. Of the fourteen
events, Stevens took first in all but
four.
The individual stars of the meet were
Captain Bill Mesloh and Roberts, of
Stevens, and Captain Hal Finley, of
New York. The Jersey captain scored
fifteen of his teams points by virtue
of three frsts. He came home win
ner in the two sprints and in the low
hurdles.
Roberts totalled sixteen points as a
result of two first and two second
places. He won the pole vault and the
high hurdles and took second place in
the low hurdles and the high jump.

The major part of this will be con-
tributed to the Athletic Association
and will enable it to weather the
deficits caused by the war. This years
deficit of $4,000 is being made up by
contributions from alumni.
The new plan which is being adopted
cations on the campus to become fnan-
cially independent throughout the war
is similar to the plan already in use in
many colleges of the country.
In addition to putting the Athletic
Association on firmer basis, the phy-
steal education department of the col
lege has passed ruling which will
help more than any other means to
make athletics at Columbia of general
participation by the student body, in
accordance with the recommendations
of Secretary of War Baker
Each student now must spend certain
number of hours each week in physical
training. The alternative for this is
to pass rather easy examination
which gives the man the privilege of
going out for team. This will mean
that every team will have a larger
squad than before. AS one of the
coaches said, "there will be eighty to
hundred out for 'cross-country in
stead of the squads Of twenty or fewer
that have come out in the last few
years."

about Ping making good in New York.
1t was very much in his favor that he
would rather play with the Yankees
than with any other team in the league.
We're not the bleacher fans his friends
Even when he played with opposing
clubs? Wouldn't he be in his glory out
there in the sun field at the Polo
Grounds wearing Yankee uniform?
And so the sharp criticisms which
were flung at him two weeks ago, when
the fence buster" was in a batting
slump, didn't seem to worry Ping much.
He kn.w he would come around soon.
And so he did: The extra base blows
OF his big bat have helped the Yankees
greatly in their race toward the top of
the percentage column. He has done
al! that Higgins expected of him.
Bodie seldom strikes out His bat

he stings the ball where some fielder
can handle it: And Ping is usually
good in pinch. He grips his bat we'll
down on the handle, puts all sthe
strength of his powerful arms ard
shoulders into the blow and wades into
the ball. Because of his apparent
awkwardness he is faster than he really
seems, and what he lacks as an out

There is bit of the optimist in
Ping. He is one of those who really
believes that the Yankees have a chance
