Our Town Election.

Now that we have had our election
and elected new Mayor. and new
Board told board re-elected), we
want to suggest to the old Board as
at present constituted, before the new
mayor and board formally take charge,
that they have the books of the cor
poration audited, and the result of
that audit published.
We attempted to have the board
last year have this done, but our re-
quest, oft repeated through these col
umns, fell on deaf ears.
If the town hoard don't feel that
they owe this as a public duty in
having this done, they certainly owe
it to themselves. 1t is matter OF
common knowledge that the affairs
of the town 30 far as records are con-
cerned, have been loosely kept for
years past. The present board ought
not to have anything to fear in hav-
ing an audit made, as we believe that
their records will bear inspection no
matter by whom made. They have
made a very creditable showing finan-
cially. and a small sum spent for an
impartial out of town auditor will be
matter that no reasonable person
will object to. Besides this, gentle
men, you will set precedent for fu-
ture boards. It's the peoples bust
ness to know everything you know.

SCHEDULE FOR WEEI

With the first three weeks of the
schedule played, every contest has
been run off. This is the best record
made in the four years of league
ball Rain interfered with two
contests. but both were played the
following Friday. This week there
will be no game Thursday night be-
cause of the fact that most of the
players will take part in games in
the morning and afternoon with
other mines, and past experience
makes it advisable to book no
games on Decoration Day. Instead
there will be a regular contest Fri
DAY night when Rea ling and Rose
wood oppose each other.
Bill" Reiff, the Galahad center
fielder, has the toppy average of
ed. In sixteen trips to the plate,
Bill" drove out nine hits. several of
which were the two-bag variety.
Garverich, another center fielder
playing with Hick-A-Thrift, has COL
lected ten bingles in twenty times at
bat for an average of 800. George
Levan, the Reading all-around play
er, has seven hits in sixteen times at
bat for a .43S average.
That youthful shay-Foland bat
terry is one of the sensations of the
league. While both lads lack ex-
perience. they should make a good
record for themselves. Poland was
the star of the grammar school meet
last year. Forney school is again
depending upon him TO bring the
honors to Allison Hill when the meet
is held June 8.
Earl Killinger has stolen eleven
bases in six games. He took ad-
vantage of the opposing catcher in
every contest but one, and on that
occasion a runner was ahead of him
each time he got on base.
Murray Washburn will be absent
from the city for several weeks and
during his absence the squad will be
in charge of Garverich. The latter
has signed up almost an entirely
new team.
