 SCHOOL ENGINEER

"I am not a candidate for the po- sition of school engineer" J. Gerald Phelan told a Times reporter today, and while, of course, I am hattered that my name has been considered for the appointment, I am not in d position to accept it. My engage ments in business would make it very unwise.'

During the erection of the new High school he represent ed She board of education as an in spectpr of the work, with entire sat- isfacfon to the board.

Newark 1, Rising Sun o.

The game at Newark on Saturday
afternoon is in dispute, but if the
ruling of the umpire stands it will
be recorded against Rising Sun,
making the first defeat of the home
team, as result of what in baseball
parlance is termed "bone-head"
play. In the 5th inning with two
out and one man on, Johnson for
Rising Sun, hit to center field and
as the ball was lost in the high
grass both runners scored. In
rounding third Riale, who was lead
ing, failed to touch the base. AS
the bali had not yet been recovered

Rising SUN Defeats ElktOn In
Thirteen-Inning Contest.
All hands agree the game at Ris-
ing Sun on the morning of the 4th,
when Elkton was downed in a 13-
inning contest, was the greatest
ever, and the climax in the last in
ming. when Elkton was looked upon
as having clinched the game by get
ting two runs over the plate, was
one that brought unrestrained JOY TO
the home rooter after hope had all
but died.
The contest was full of excite
ment for everyone as both teams
put up a rafting game, and both
Greenwell and Reynolds pitched the
finest of ball. Rising Sun got one
run across the plate in the fifth and
Elkton tied in the sixth. Both
teams then drew blanks until the
18th inning, when Elkton added
1.-TWO runs as the result of a dropped
fly ball by left field, coupled with a
base on balls and timely hit.
But the local boys came through
with three runs in the last turn at
bat and won. A hit and base on
balls started the fireworks, then
Elkton's second-baseman made an
error and things began to happen.
When the smoke cleared Rising Sun
had scored three runs as result OF
three hits, two bases on balls
and an error, deciding contest
which had proven so exciting that
one of the local rooters went clear
home, more than a mile from town,
and left his auto standing in the
road at the ball grounds. The score:
