ON THE FIRST BOUND
.wITA CLERKIN-

The rain of yesterday afternoon spoiled fine baseball attraction at St. Mary's field, between the New Britain and Meriden police. Up to the time the doWnpour came, the teams were battling in big league style, and the locals were just about getting &C., quainted with the slants of Baer.
 According to the rules of the sport, yesterdays affair was no contest. Had Politis been able to slip over one more strike on Captain Joe Alix, in that fifth inning. the locals would have been credited with victory.
 The locals infield played splendidlv yesterday afternoon, turning in two snappy double plays. John O'Brien had the only .misplay
 Rouski fielded his position at second like Eddie Collins. The sparrow cop" handled seven chances without an er- TOT.
 Thanks to the splendid arm of Tom Feeney and Pete Cabelus, and the nanny in which the throw was handled by Captain OMara, a sure run was cut off at the plate in the second inning
 Slim Politis drove in the only run or the afternoon, his second double of the day registering Veley, who had previously doubled. When Feeney was hit on the head with pitched ball Dan Poitis was heard to remark "Bartenders will please take notice"
 Armand Landino, last year star broad jumper and runner on the To- cal High school track team, will leave this week to enter in the Sheffield Preparatory school.
 Robert Peplau, former N. B. H. S. all-around athlete, and champion of the city for the 100 yard dash, will leave this week to begin his second year at Choate.
 Wise cracks" from the direction of the Meriden bench were taken care of by Dan Politis.
 Maybe Billy Greenstein did not mean what he said about the New Britain and Meriden police teams When two such teams can play a ? to 1 game in nine innings, and then travel four innings with only one tally being registered. and in this time three double plays being turned in, besides a runner being shut of at the plate by an outfeld throw, it is not such bad baseball, as we see. Only recently two major league teams piled up nearly 50 runs in one game.
 That suggestion of Chief Hart, that another game be staged at Meriden, and the receipts be given to the fami- lies of two deceased sergeants is worthy of consideration.
 When Frankie Clynes commenced to sing Some Sweet Sunny Day." Joe Kid" Shea, the ex- x-boxer of Water bury just could not keep still. He i'm plored Frankie to play and sing some more.
 The remarks Of Mayor King Of Meriden got the crowd in fine spirits, so that some of the later speeches. did not have a very distressing effect,
 Roy Wilcox and Smedick, the Mer- lden first and second basemen handled themselves like leaguers yesterday.

 Representative Dick" Covert, who will wear the republican senatorial togo In the coming election, handled himself well In delivering few re- marks. "Dick" looked pleased, at the banquet, as did so many others
 Billy" McCue and Matt Rival, the popular sergeants, had their sleeves rolled up yesterday. It is mainly due to the untiring efforts of Mac and Matt that the banquet affair was such pronounced success. Manager Tom Storey, was very nervous before yesterdays game openI ed. When his pets began to perform, big smile broke across Tommys countenance.
 Judge Bill" Mangan was on the bench yesterday, watching his friend ly enemies perform. Bill" was the tobacco commissary for several of the players.
 Peter Manning came through yes- trday in his attempt to break the Charter Oak Park track record, cover- ing the mile distance in 1859 3-4 with Tommy Murphy handling the reins.

gress recently enacted a law to per-
nit them to do so. But without pro-
duction there can be no marketing.
The farm bureau is here primarily to
aid the farmers in the matter of pro-
duction. It's aim is not only to assist
in the production of crops n live
stock, but to bring production in this
county to the highest standard of ex-
c%ellence. Working in close harmony
and cooperation with the extension
division of the University of Idaho,
it gives its members the direct bene-
fit of the stations experiments and
activities in their behalf. In addition
the bureau is a clearing house for
the exchanges OF ideas among the far
mers themselves. The meetings are
always interesting and the discus
sions helpful. The bureau is worthy
OF the support Of every farmer in La
tab county.

The Pneumonia Month.

March is a typical pneumonia
month and usually gives a high rate
of mortality for the disease. After a
long and hard winter, the system
loses much of it's resistance and peO-
pie grow careless. When every cold,
no matter how slight, is given prompt
and intelligent attention, there is
much less danger of pneumonia. 1t
should be borne in mind that pneu-
monia is a germ disease and breeds
in the threat. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is an expectorant and cleans
out the germ ladened mucus and not
only cures a cold but prevents it's
resulting in pneumonia. 1t is pleasant
to take. Children take it willingly. M

cided to send a camera man to India,
in order to get the proper scenes

When the camera man returned
with his material, the picture was

many other members of the faculty
as may be necessary to explain the
course of study offered.
Features of Scheme
1--WE have a publicity bureau to
supply the with all the
material which might be of benefit
and will endeavor to enlist them in
the movement. We will hold at least
one large luncheon in the Chamber OF
Commerce rooms, which seat 800 peo-
pie and will have as guests Of honor
at this luncheon the representatives
of all the colleges in attendance. At
least two of the presidents will speak
for Idaho and its colleges. We will
also hold a mass meeting at which
opportunity will be given the public
to become acquainted with our Idaho
colleges and their representatives.
Eve select the latter part of April
as the time of year when many stu
dents are about to decide where they
will go to college. Such a program
will give to our colleges deserved
publicity in Boise and throughout the
state. We hope and belive it will
result in keeping many of our young
people in Idaho, thus doing a real
service to them and the state which
is their home.
