there remains but little to be
done besides aiding some equip

of the instructors are college
graduates.
Schools are accredited in May
of each year and it is the duty
Of each person interested in the
welfare Of our high school to
urge that the following require
ments have each been met by
next May, so that our school will
be accredited.
There should ba in any
community supporting 81 high

ard that the ntelIectua! and

LOBBY" COLLINS TO PLAY
WITH SOMERS POINT TEAM.

According to late reports Somers
Point will have one of the best base
ball aggregations in this vicinity this
season. Frank Hart, first baseman of
the club, who was elected manager
for the coming season, has announced
that Somers Point would have one of
the strongest pitching stats in South
Jersey Independent baseball circles.
The latest, addition to the team~is
Bobby" Collins, the former Atlantic
City High School pitching star, who
also twirled for the Birmingham
team, of the Southern Association,
and the Springfield Eastern League
club. He is a Highlander, and with
Herbert Kuhl, another former Allan
tic City High School product, and
Tommy Hentz, should turf in a big
number of victories this coming sea-
son. big Joe" Lambert, the former
Ventnor pitcher, is the only southpaw
hurler on the team.
Behind the bat will be Frank
Stretch, the veteran backstop from
last season, who sustained an injury
to his wrist in one of the closing
games of the year, but who is now in
good condition.
Other positions will be filled as fol
lows: Hart at first, Joe Steelman at
second, with his brother, Frank Steel
man, at the third sack, and Frank
Barry, the former Atlantic City High
School infielder, at short.
The outer field will be fortified by
Dan Steelman, Campbell, McDevitt
and Douglas,
