EAST JORDAN WINS
SHORTHAND HONORS
Wins First In Beginning Short
hand And Second In Advanced
Shorthand.

In the district shorthand and type
writing contest at Traverse City last
Saturday, which comprised all of the
high schools in this section of the state
East Jordan won notable success. Hell
en- Stroebel received first honors in the
beginners shorthand contest, and AL
ice Malpass won second honors in the
advanced shorthand contest. Traverse
City shared with East Jordan in the
winning of these contests.
Last year Traverse City High School
won the district contest and also prac-
tically all of the State contests.
In view of the fact that this was the
first year that East Jordan sent repre-
sentatives and the added advantage
that Traverse City had in having the
contest in their own Commercial de-
partment makes the victory won by
East Jordan more notable. The East
Jordan High School Commercial de-
partment certainly compares favorably
with all the other commercial depart
ments of the high schools in this por-
ton of the State.
Miss Sibley, commercial teacher, ac-
companied five representatives of the
East Jordgn High School to Traverse
City last Saturday where the contest
was held.

FROM CENTRAL LAKE
Wins Eight To One Score In
In Spirited Game.

The Central Lake High School base.
ball team which the week previous had
won a 38 to 0 victory over Alden found
pitcher John Gunderson and his eight
assistants too strong an aggregation
in the baseball game played at East
Jordan last Friday afternoon. The
East Jordan boys outplayed the Central
Lake boys in every part of the game
with the exception Of fielding. Gun
derson pitched seven innings in which
he allowed two hits and struck out
fourteen men. Bowen pitched the last
sfwo innings, in which he allowed no
hits and struck ont one man. The East
Jordan boys found the Central Lake
boys for twelve hits and the local boys
famed the air four times.
John Gnnderson was the particular
star of the game, for in addition to his
brilliant pitching he garnered three hits
for total of six bases in four times at
bat. Liskum, who has the tough task
of receiving for Gunderson, developed
into classy catcher and before the
season is over should be an excellent
receiver. Hockstad, at first, and Swat
ford at short are two new players who
are coming along fast.
Next Friday the boys play Charlevoix
at Charlevoix.

CAST.
SYNOPSIS


Harriet Carley, a young society girl,
the stepdaughter of proud old dowa-
ger, has fallen into the clutches of a
Spanish adventurer and his wife and,
to aid them, claims to have had valu-
able pearl necklace stolen when in
reality she had hidden it hoping to real
ize its value from the insurance COM
pany. Mrs. C. Christopher Carley, her
stepmother, suspects that the robbery
has been committed by Alonzo Dow, a
gay young millionaire in the hotel, bas-
ing her suspicious on the fact that his
handkerchief has been found in the
room. The manager of the hotel hires
detective to find the theft and when
Mrs. Carley tries to offer him the hand
kerchief as evidence she finds it has
been stolen from her purse.
Sadie Brady, slangy goodnatured
stenographer in the hotel, determines
to investigate the robbery herself and
is much impressed by the suspected
Mr.. Dow. Sadie is very winning
heroine with plenty of snap and go, a
real and interesting young woman pos
ing as an illiterate stenographer when
in reality she is the investigating agent
of the Insurance Company. Cameron,
the detective, is completely baffled by
the suavity of Mr.. Dow and suspicion
begins to rest on the unctous DR.. Beedle,
a college professor ofMoral Philosophy.
The second act occnrs the night of the
grand ball at the hotel and the thief is
hard at work rifling the rooms of the
merrymakers. Sadie wrings confess
ion from Harriet that the necklace was
not really stolen, but when Harriet
tries to find it she discovers that it is
missing. AS climax to the mysteries
of the second act, Mrs Quinn, the
quaint Irish maid, announces that DR..
Beedle has committed suicide.
This proves to be mistake, however
as the good doctor has only been
chloroformed and his room rifled. The
third act occurs in Mr.. Dow's room,
where he is cleverly trapped by Sadie
and the detective, but manages to
elude them and makes his escape. In
the last act Sadie succeeds in establish
ing Dow's innocence and fixing the
crime on Cameron, the detective, who
is the real culprit. The slangy little
bellboy, the Irish maid, the droll Mr..
Dow and the vapid MIR. Null assist in
the comedy scenes.
