discovered the roof of his own house

for his home he delayed notifying

Meanwhile the fire department had

B. U. S. S. VS.. EASTERN PONIES.
The summer school team defeated
the Eastern Ponies at South Brewer
last Wednesday afternoon, to l, in
a well-played game. The summer
school boys secured a one-run lead
in the third inning, when they
punched hits off Degrasse, and added
two more in the sixth and one in the
sey enth. The Ponies lone tally
came in the eighth inning
Lefty Louie Burke, who had only
few days previous set down the
fast P. C. F. team to O., was in rare
form against the South Brewer ag-
gregation His change of pace was
complete mystery to the opposing
team, while the B. U. team, aided
by the heavy hitting of Klain, La
tour and Miller, and the general all
around play of the infield, rendered
valuable support. Pat Donohue, the
diminutive second baseman, and
Babe Latour, contributed several fine
catches. With three men on bases
in the seventh inning, the latter went
back under a hard-hit drive labeled
for a triple, and made sensational
catch. Donohue's one-hand stop OF
Collins line drive in the fourth
saved two tallies. The summary:

The second staff of The Weekly
Plunge has completed it's two-weeks'
period as editors of this well-known
college sheet. 1t has performed its
duties well, turning out editions
which they may we'll be proud of.
The staff which will guide the desti-
MES of The Plunge the next two
weeks will be made up of John Mac
Kay, editor-in-chief; William ]. Hart,
city editor; Edward M. Doheny, sport
ing editor; Henry l.. Tonry, special
feature editor; David Goldberg, dra
matte editor; Matthew J. Boyle,
makeup editor.
Last Fridays meeting of the
Devils was well attended by the stu
dent body, as well as by several Of
the prominent citizens of Ellsworth.
The program was long and varied.
Several innovations were introduced.
Joe French, editor extraordinary, and
Harry Patterson, were in rare form
reading the various witticosms. Both
these distinguished individuals GER
tainly believed in@ the old adage:
Every knock is boost" Dan
O'Connor and Frank A'Hearn rem

The summer school outing given
under the auspices of the Ellsworth
board of trade Monday at Lamoine
Beach was one of the best outings
the students have enjoyed since the
establishment of the school in this
city. Members of the board of trade
and others citizens of Ellsworth gave
their cars generously in order that
the entire student body might attend
the outing. There was plenty of
activity during the afternoon. A
baseball game between teams repre-
senting Charlestown and ROxbury
was won by the former score, 8 to 0.
The game between the faculty and
the students, however, attracted the
most attention. The feature of the
game was the playing of Prof.
Babb. Time and again the popular
law professor hurled the missive
with tremendous rapidity," as he
would put it, nipping runners off the

posing batSmen was a treat. The
Eastern nine made an impressive
start when it drove over the first
tally of the game in the first inning.
The university players, however,
opened up in the second, and before
they were halted, seven runs had
been sent across the rubber.
Stumcke. the first man up, was hit
by pitched ball. Jones reached the
initial sack on an error. Fallon
drew a base on balls. Friedman
struck out. Burke sacrificed. Sum-
mers singled to left, Stumcke scor-
ing on the hit. q Klain drove pretty
two-bagger into deep right, Fallon
and Jones scoring. Latour was safe
on an error. Miller slammed out a
double, sending Klain home.
Stumcke singled to right, but was
thrown out at second trying to
stretch the hit. The summer school
nine went through it's entire batting
order in this frame. In the third,
'aided by Friedman's double into CEN
ter field, the local club netted an
other tally. This was the end Of
the scoring so far as the summer
school was concerned.
Jimmie Fallon. the dapper little
shortstop on the team, had great
day in the field. His playing was
easily the outstanding feature of the
game Jimmie accepted seven
chances without a miscue. and on
one occasion startled the fans by
scooping up scorching hit by Smith
and retiring the runner at second.
In the writer's opinion, it is the
most brilliant play he has seen at
Wyman park this season. 1t came
so unexpectedly that it fairly bewil-
dered the fans.

Ted Gillispie left Ellsworth last
Friday for New York to attend the
wedding of his brother. Prof. Bel
latty granted Gillispie two weeks ex-
tention. That means that Ted will
not return to the summer school at
Ellsworth, but will return to Boston
to await the opening Of the regular
sessions.

Tom ClOOnan, who has umpired
several of the summer school games
this year at Wyman park, umpired
the Bar Harbor-East Millinocket
game Thursday afternoon at Bar
Harbor. Tom gave a good account
of himself, handling the players and
calling plays with the ease of sea-
soned veteran umpire. ClOOnan
says that umpiring ball games is not
the easiest occupation.
Manager John Mckay, who is put
ting on the summer school show at
Hancock hall a week from Friday
night, announces that the tickets
will be placed on sale this week.
Many tickets have already been
asked for, and it is expected that be-
fore the week is out the remainder
of them will be sold. The manage
ment has arranged an attractive pro-
gram. Barney's orchestra will play.
MT. .. y. Larry, WHO IS dSSlStdHI

Monday morning. He spoke of his
impressions of Ellsworth, and about
the men who received their educa-

in which he was addressing the stu
dents. Mr.. Larry made it clear to
the students that college men should
not rely upon the employment bu-

Shore Acres.
BASEBALL.
With the exception of a proposed
transforming trip through Maine,
the summer school baseball team
played it's last game of the season
Saturday at Wyman park. The at
tendance at the Eastern game was
but handful in comparison with the
crowds that turn out to witness high
class ball clubs in action at various
other towns in the State. Through
out the entire season, the attendance
at the Boston university games has
been disappointing. Manager Hor-
rigan had a team this year that
ranked high in the amateur stand
ing in the State, and was in great
demand to play games away from
home, yet he cancelled many Of these
engagements in order to bring out
side teams toy Ellsworth, so that the
students as we'll as the townspeople
could enjoy baseball. 1t was taken
for granted that the support would
be forthcoming, but when the pro-
ceeds were received they were often
found inadequate to defray the ex-
penses of the visiting aggregation.
On several occasions Manager Horri-
gan made up the deficiency out of his
own pocket.
The university team has record
of twelve games won and only three
lost. two of the latter to the fast Bar
Harbor team composed of players
who attained high standing in the
collegiate baseball world. The sum-
mer school team is composed of
World war veterans who are in train
ing as result of disabilities incurred
in the service. Many times it is
sand rather than physical ability that
keeps them in the game. The play
ers receive no remuneration. They
work merely for the name of the
school, and because they love the
game. 1t is, however, impossible to
support a team unless there are suf-
ficient funds to cover necessary ex-
penses.
Pat Donohue, the popular second
baseman of the summer school nine,
is carrying his right arm in a sling
as a result of an accident in scrub
ball game at Wyman park last
Wednesday afternoon. Pat got in
the way of swinging bat, which
struck him on the wrist, breaking
two small bones. Fortunately the
accident came at the close of the sea-
son. Had it happened early in the
season, Manager Horrigan would
have been up against it for a second
baseman. AS 1t is, Donohue will be
unable to take part in the proposed
transforming tour. Donohue plays
for love of the game. He has been
great factor in the success of the
summer school team this year A
capable ball player he is, and
credit to the team he has represent
ed for the past two seasons.

Mrs. A. P. Clements Reports
Capacity Ten Times In
mates, Following Inquiry.

Only fifteen children, are now be-
ing cared for at the Industrial Home
School. which has facilities for al
announced last night by Mrs A. P.
Clements. secretary of the citizens
committee Investigating the situation
there.
Mrs. Clements said that during the
past two days alone fourteen chill
dren were taken from the home, re-
ducing the number there to only fif-
teen. and she followed up by declar-
ing that to all appearances. despite
the belief that the Industrial Home
School is to be continued after July
l as temporary receiving home for
children. the board Of children's
guardians is carrying out an an
nounced intention of closing the
doors of the school by removing all
children possible to private homes.
Demand Assurances.
Mrs. Clements declared that women
throughout the city would make an
issue of the matter. led by the Con-
gresS of Mothers and Parent-Teacher
Associations. unless more practical
and definite assurances were evident
that the home school would be con-
tinued.
She said that her committee had in
vestigated fortytwo cases. whereas
the board OF charities mentioned only
thirty-one as having been investt-
gated, and declared that still more
cases would have been looked into
by the committee. of which Mrs. Ed
mund Brennan is chairman. If the
names of the homes to which the
children were sent from the school
had not been kept secret.
Juvenile Court Records.
Information is being obtained by
tie committee at present from de-
velopments in the Juvenile Court from
day to day. and the Investigations
made by the committee result from
the Information obtained there.
A point as to whether Judge Sellers
in the Juvenile Court has the right to
take babies under five years Of age
from their mothers and place them
under the board of children's guar
dians is being considered. Mrs. Gle
ments said, and the outcome may be
legal test as to whether such power
exists in cases of children of this age,
who are regarded as infants in the
eyes of the law. After that age the in
fants pass into the classification of

D. c. LEGISLATION
HALTED IN HOUSE
Other Measures to Crowd
Out Action on Pending Bills
at This Session.

The National Capital is to lose the
last District day for the considera
ZION of District legislation before the
adjournment of the House. This is
assured by the statement by House
Leader Mondell last night that either
the conference report on the naNai
appropriation bill or the capper-
Tincher bill regulating trading in
grain futures will be taken up to-
morrow. which should be district
day on the House calendar.
District Bills Pending.
The District committee of the House
held a meeting Friday for the pur-
pose of deciding what measures
should he pressed for action in the
closing drive. 1t was decided that
the Fitzgerald bill for workmen
compensation fund or compulsory
Industrial insurance, which is unfin-
ished business on District day. should
have right of way. The earnest nope
was expressed. however. that time
would be found to put through the
teachers pay bill. which provides
new schedule of pay for teachers IN
public schools. giving all the teach-
ers slight increases. AS matter OF
fact, Representative Fitzgerald had
agreed that if he found 1t would De
impossible to get his bill through he
would step aside in favor of the
teachers pay bill.
Other important legislation for the
District, including the health ofhce
bill to require that all milk for do
mestic use in the District must come
from herds tested at least
once a year. is also awaiting action.
Appropriations to Fore.
House Leader Mondell said that il
was not at all likely that time would
be found so that any other day could
he set aside for District legislation
before adjournment. He pointed out
that if the filibuster that has been
conducted for three days by Repre-
sentative Voigt of Wisconsin con-
tinues il will he hard to find time
even for the conference reports IN
appropriation bills that must be
passed before July l. and for several
other measures on which special
rules have been ordered by the
rules committee.
