WANTS INFORMATION IN
REGARD TO SCHOOL SITES
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
In reference to the two school
sites to be offered Wednesday, ven
ture an observation or two, that may
or may not be pertinent. In the alb
sence of any information concerning
special or comprehensive plans for
the district, it must be conceded that
the situation is difficult one for the
citizen to satisfactorily adjust for
himself or the general public con-
cerned, if he undertakes to work it
out along present and possible future
demands for school facilities. The
territory now served by the Cen
trail school building northwesterly
from Main street comprises Nichols
addition and Fairview Nos. and 2,
and the sparsely inhabited section
lying beyond those additions toward
Shippington and Pelican City. Elm
mating, for a moment, the remand der
of the territory now served by the
Central school, one would readily say
that the territory referred to first
above could be as we'll served from
one edge or side as the other; that
is to say by the Central school build
ing or a building on one or the other
of the sites offered. If it is desig-
mated, that in the event one of the

thereon a school building, this ques.
tion presents itself: Will it be de,
signed to and is it contemplated that
it shall accommodate the whole OF
the territory first above referred to
or merely to relieve the congestion

This, in view of the possibility that
the Central" school site, may, In the
very near future. be sold and aban-
doned on account of its too close
proximity to the city's main thor
oughfare, becomes important. 1t
may be necessary in relocating the
Central" to exclude the territory
first above referred to from its ac-
comm odation in the division of ter
ritory to be served by the two build
ings. Off-hand, it would seem ad-
visable, if the directors have devel-
oped comprehensive plan for the
district, based upon present and very
probable future requirements, to
place the citizens in possession of
the facts; it certainly would elm
mate much of the difficulty that will
confront the citizens on Wednesday,
not so much in making a choice be-
tween the two sites, perhaps, but in
assisting him in determining whether
he wants either one. The writer is
impressed with the idea that school
sites designed for the accommodation
of considerable and populous ter
ritory, should approximate central
location when it is possible to do so.
This idea seems to have controlled in
finally selecting site for the new
Catholic school building shortly to
be erected, and which led to an aban-
donment of the site originally Sc
lected a few years ago, and upon
which a paving charge of something
over $1,000 was paid in full. AS

 TH OLYMPIC MARATHON

Antwerp, August 22-(By The A. p flames Kolehmainen, representing Finland and holder of several Amerl- can distance records and champion ships, today won the seventh Olympic Marathon. He showed wonderful en- durance and covered the distance-26 miles, 3S5 yards-in the remarkable time of 2 hours, S2 minutes, S5 4-5 sec onds through mud and rain. This broke the old record by more than four minutes.
 H. H. Brown, Boston A. A., finished first for the American team in the 3,000-metre team race today. He was trailed by Brackman of Sweden, while A. A. Schardt, Chicago A. A., came in close behind the Swede for third place. Ivan c. Dresser, New York A. C., fi- nished sixth, being beaten by Burtin of France and Blewit of England.
 In the final of the discus throw Nix lander of Finland was placed first with cast of 44.685 metres, with Taipale, Finland second, with 44.19 metret and A. R. Pope, University of Washington, third with 4213 metres.
 The throws of the three leaders were made in the qualifying round Saturday.
 Dan Hagen, Sweden, won fourth place with throw of 4107 metres, w. K. Bartlett, University of Oregon, was l41lLy WllH 4V,ofO H0IF6S ana Er1CSOQ, Sweden, sixth with 40.315 metres.
 J. V. Scholz, University of Missouri; Loren Murchison, New York, and M NJ. Kirksey, San Francisco, running in that order in the 400-metre relay, es- tablished a new world record, winning the event in 42 Is seconds-two-fi -fifths of a second faster than the time made by the German winners at Stockholm in 1912.
 Todays points, not including the decathlon, were: Finland 21; America z0; Sweden 12; France 8; England 8; Italy 6; Esthonia 5; Denmark 8: Bel gium 8; Luxembourg 1.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.

New York, Aug. 21.-Recovery in the stock market continued today; it again affected mainly the industrial shares. mo- tably some of the steel company issues. Several of the railway shares also ad- vanced, some of them rather sharply but the changes as whole were irregular. The week end mercantile reviews report distinct tendency towards formal an- nouncement of reduced prices.
 In the foreign exchange market rates were little changed today, except for further rise in some Far Eastern rates Silver bullion in London was unchanged After yesterdays sharp advance. The rise of the New York price above one dollar per ounce (which has occurred in both the domestic and the foreign prod uct) is highly interesting because it stops pur hints purchases. The Pittman act of 1918 prescribed for such purchases the fixed price of S1 per ounce of silver 1.ee0 fine :" so long. therefore, as the market price remains above that figure pr it's equivalent of 99 1-2 cants com merciai silver, the government cannot buy. This fact would naturally arrest the advance. because our smelters will now sell to the export market for the first time since June 15. On the other hand, the mint has thus far bought only l0.500, 900 ounces out of the POT, ,000,00 which the mint director announced in June would eventually have to be pur-- shased to conform wit hthe Pittman act

ASHLAND DRAWS FIRST BLOOD
 IN SERIES WITH PLAINFIELD

In spite of the threatening weather about 1900 fans, the largest crowd of the season turned out and were reward ed by witnessing one of ths most bitterly contested games ever played at Ashland Park
 Plainfield came down strong, both as ball club and also as rooters
 Not until the last man was out was the struggle decided. Plainfeld showing unexpected ability to get men on bases.
 Liberty on the mound for Ashland pitched good ball, but owing to the con dition of the grounds was wilder than usual and was frequently in the hole and was forced to show his best to keep the opponents from scoring. He received good support from his teammates. (,
 Frechette caught a great game and was a big help to Spike in the pinches.
 Gero on the mound for Plainfeld pitched good ball, and would have won ordinarily but this game was out of the ordinary.
 Roy Rock of league fame, was at sec ond base for P1ainfeld and played good ball, driving in their lone marker with a single after Bessette had doubled in the fourth.
 In the second inning, Leclaire singled for Ashland and stole second, going toI third on bad peg and scored on a sharp single to center by Spike Liberty
 In the third Jarvis doubled and scored on single ever short by Chase. This proved to be the winning run though both teams had several chances to score
 In the sixth, Hazard in left for Plain field made one of. the most difficult catches yet seen on the local field on a line drive from Chase's bat that was la beled for a sure homer, after going back for the ball Hazard made a leap and speared it with one hand.
 In the seventh, Plainfeld had three on and no one down, Bessette flied to short and Rock attempted the squeeze play, right here one of the prettiest plays imaginable was pulled off by theI home club. Liberty handled the bunt perfectly and tossed to home, forcing Bill Liberty. Frechette begged the first but lost the batter on a close play Raj ney who had started with the pitch from second attempted to score but quick peg back to the plate from Chase com pleted the double play
 This game would indicate that this is going to be some series

RESUME OF LAST WEEKS
 DOINGS IN BIG LEAGUES

New York, Aug. 22-The winning pace of the Chicago Americans which has carried them to the top of the lea gue standing, indicates that only de- cided brace by either Cleveland or New York can prevent the White SoX from repeating last years success. Chicago has won F of it's Hast 14 games, in ciuding today's victory over Washing ton. No great strength is being dis played by the three leading National teams and a, close race down the Sep tember stretch is expected. Brooklyn today brought about a virtual tie with Cincinnati for first place by defeating the Reds and breaking even on the four-game series. New York, two games behind, will start a series with Cincinnati next Friday.
 The Cleveland Americans outplayed New York last week but dropped two apparently affected the batting of the Indians, who have been leading the league with unofficial team average of more than 300. After Mondays game, they batted only at a rate of 146. The Yankees also are hitting lightly and al though they improved today against Detroit, the Tiger batsmen pounded the New York twirlers even harded than in Saturdays game Of the other teams. Boston alone is showing to advantage, put is too far back in the race to hope, for more than fourth place.
 The pitching of Fisher and Eller against Chicago, put Cincinnati ahead of Brooklyn in the National league last week. In the series with the Superbas, ihe Reds took the first two by heavy hitting, but were blanked by Marquard and lost today when Ring was inef- iective.

He pitched fine game, receiving excellent support from his team mates. The K. of c. team had a few opportunities to score but the required hits were not forthcoming.
 Kelleher pitched fine game but the Wallingford team hit when runs were needed. Wallingford scored in the sec ond inning. Goodrich was passed and scored when Reynolds knocked a two bagger to left center In the fifth Goodrich singled and advanced to sec ond on Reynolds sacrifice. Coyle hit 6 two bagger to right field scoring Goodrich. There was no more scoring until the ninth. Fitz and Laden sin gled and both scored on Goodrich's single to center.
 Both teams played clean fast ball but much of the pep and interest was lost sn account of the oppressive heat.

 It, was such fight on the greensward that Jimmy took part in on Sunday morning in April, 1894, he told some of his friends when he was visiting friends in this city Saturday. And it was the last fight on the turf ever pulled off in New England.
 The ring was pitched in the yard of an old abandoned church between liar risviIle, R. l., and Douglass, Mass, and the fight began at dawn on Sunday morning in a pouring rain, with about 400 men at the ringside. Nelson's op ponent was Chris Cornell of Pascoag R. l., a youngster in the ring, who forced the fight vigorously for twelve rounds against the veteran Nelson. who played a waiting game. In the 18th Nelson closed one of his opponents eyes and from then on the tide began to turn. The end came suddenly in the 18th, when Nelson worked his La Blanche shift, putting a right uppercut to the chin, rights and left to the face and body, and knocking out Cornell with a right to the jaw. The winner took S350 of the $500 purse and the loser the small end.
