 The high school nine was defeated, 1 9 to 6, in loosely played game with the Monson Academy team Monday afternoon on Hyde Park diamond. With the exception of Michna and Clark, the tattery, nearly all the local players were away off form. Fielding errors were many and the throws us I ually were either short or wild. Both teams found it easy to hit the ball but the difference in the manner of field ing was what gave Monson the victo- ry. Joseph Moran umpired the battle.

 William Comins, of Worcester acad- emy, made a running broad jump of 22 feet and 21a inches at the annual interscholastic games held at Prince ton, N. J. last Saturday. This was 21a inches better than the record made at the meeting held in 19O5 It is also the record jump for any Worcester Academy student. He also entered the 100 yards and 22O yards dash and took second in 10th. Students from the various preparatory schools throughout the eastern U. s. competed at these games. COmins shows steady improvement in his athletic abilities
 not only in jumping Iut also in run
 ming, having taken first prize in sev-
 eral dashes this spring. He was a
 member of the Academy football and
 basketball teams during the fall and
 winter and now is quite a valuable member of the track team.

Zelz, c. Zaika and
