Sunday at the Bay.

The Young Mems Gymnastic Club
and ST. Stanislaus College dual meet
scheduled for Sunday, April9th, at
Bay st. Louis, has attracted consid-
cradle attention among the amateur
fans of the city. We read in the
newspapers where the Gymnastic
team. has been handicapped by bad
weather, but you know they always
have some kind of alibi or another.
Coach Irwin Poche, however, hopes
to be able to bring formidable ag-
gregation to compete against the
locals.
Mr.. Foster Commagere is rounding
out team in which he plans to give
them hustle for the honors in May.
In Cerniglia Coach Commagere has a
young man who may come near the
Southern record in the Sc pound
weight. No time is being wasted, as
you may notice when you pass the
college premises. You can see those
that are going to wear the red and
black, practicing hard for the coming
meet. The meet will be nip and
tuck affair is not doubted by follow
ers of the sport. The Gymnastics,
consisting of fifteen men, will arrive
Sunday morning, accompanied by
Coach Irwin Poche, Fritz Oakes and
Claiborne Andrew, two close follow
ers of the sport, and A. A. U. Off
cials.

It was hotly-contested game from

the score stood to 2 in favor Of

At this juncture Principal Brown

older fans, the Bay boys, with bull
dog tenacity, began to knock the
cover off the ball!
When the dust lifted at the 9th
inning, the score stood 9 to in favor
of the Bay.
This is the third game the Bay
colored school team has played this
season and in each instance they
came off the victors.
The lineup was as follows:
James Reed c.; Victor Labat, p.;

PUPILS OF CITY SCHOOL ]
ENJOY EASTE EGG HUNT
THURSDAY AFTERNOON
Carroll Avenue the Scene of Mer-
riment-Bunny Had Left Over
500 Eggs - Four Prizes We're
Awarded to Successful Children
In Quest--Thanks for the Hunt.

Carroll avenue was the scene of
merriment on Thursday afternoon
among the children of Central School
when they rushed to the spot where
the bunnies had left over five hun
dred eggs.
There were eggs of all colors hid
den among the brush and brass, in
various hooks ad corners. Four
prizes were given to the pupils who
possessed keen eyes of discovery
that enabled them to find the largest
number of eggs. The following
names were winners: Franklin Ra-
mond, Addie Lee Stevens, Marie
Adams, Harold Toca and Lalton
Thibadeaux. The greatest number
found by any one was twenty.
This hour of diligent searching
and excitement will be pleasantly re-
membered by the pupils.
The proceeds of the hunt will be
used for purchasing maps for the
Central School. 1t was through the
interest and kindness Of the Parent
Teachers Association that this af-
fair was brought about. The friends
of the school donated the eggs,
painted and hid them. 1t would be
unjust to the good ladies of the As
sociation if we did not express our
appreciation of their efforts and do
nations that made possible this hap
event. We thank you, one and all
for your interest in us. Signed
Pupils and Teachers of the Central
School.

Ring off, April, you coquette;
Charming, cheerful suffragette;
Without warning, you weep showers;
Then flood the ealtE with sun for

Storm tossed, clouds and sun-kissed

Fickle April passing by.
You coax the flewors and fruit to
bloom;
Then laughing leave them to their
doom;
You coax the south winds breath to
blow,
Then cram his mouth chuck full of
snow;
We love you, April, but must con-
fess
You take "the cake1 for wickedness,
So ring off, April!

Doctor Dies of Poison
Body Found Under Light in
Office as Patients Wait
Outside His Door

Or. Alfred H. Riedel. forty nine
Years old, an eve specialist, was found
dead in his Office apartment al the
Hotel Maxwell, 220 West Forty ninth
Street, shortly before noon yesterday
by William r. Greene, proprietor OF
the hotel. Greene, who broke in when
patients who had called to consult the
physician reported that they could not
get in. said that Riedel had committed
suicide because a professional skater,
whose name he would not di"ulge, had
rejected his advances.
DR.. Benjamin Schwartz, deputy chief
medical examiner, made an cXamina-
ton of the body and said death had
been caused by poison, the nature Of
which he was unable to determine. An
autopsy will be performed.
According to Greene, the dead man
was separated from his wife, who lives
in Scranton, Pa, and often had made
threats to take his life because men,
ber Of the ice skating ballet at the
Hippodrome would not stop going out
with other men Greene said that
Ricdel even cabled the woman's parents
who live in Berlin. telling them Of
their daughters conduct here.
When his rooms we're broken into
Riedel was found propped up in bed
and covered with a black bathrobe
An electric light had been placed
directly overhead SO that its rays fell
full upon the face, which was drawn
and white from the effects Of the
poison. Redel had been living at the
Maxwell for several years and had a
large practice. He also was visiting

The captain of the guard was sum-

killed before they would resume work.
The entire force of guards was called
out and when the prisoners began to
make d emonstration with sticks they
