report. Soon after the appointment
of the committee, which includes in
addition to Mrs. Manns, Mrs. J P.
Cam and Miss Mary Houston, a con-
ference was arranged with the teach
ers. Mrs. Manns' report was based
upon the facts brought out at this
meeting. Cribbing was one of the
subjects taken up by the committee.
"At the mid-year examinations"
Mrs. Manns declared, "the pupils
were required to give a pledge in
handing in their papers, to the effect
that they had not received improper
help. This, the teachers say, elm
mated most of the cribbing which it
was thought had been going on in
the past. The number of pupils who
either failed or got marks which
merely passed them, was unusually
large at the mid-year examinations" {"
Among other matters which Mrs.
Manns discussed in her report, was
lHc lleSu LOT cooperation OIL IHe par
ents in breaking up the practice of
school boys in congregating at the
corners before and after school; the
curtailing of outside interests that
take the time Of children that should
be devoted to study; the practice of
children coming to school too early,
and thereby doubling the possibility
of getting into trouble; the congre-
cation of pupils in the basement of
the high school, which may have a
tendency to lower the general morals
of the school.
The fact that Newark is handicap
ped by inadequate buildings should
only make everyone strive all the
harder to overcome the difficulties of
the situation until new building
is provided, Mrs. Manns maintained.
Miss Anna Gallaher presided at the
meeting in the absence of Mrs. C. O.
Houghton, President. The next
meeting of the association will be
held on Thursday evening, April 9th.

"You Useter Bat 300.
"a Song Of Swat in line with the recent
Landis tip.)
once Big Lacquer slid in home at 8 a. m.
one morn
With a perfect fielding average in the
League Of Barleycorn.
He had pulled down fifteen high balls ere
he sprinted for his cot,
And at every chance presented he was
wagner on the spot
But as he fumbled at the key his wife
was waiting there
With his favorite ash furniture suspended
in the air.
And as he tried to curve across she hunted
at his head
And slammed a triple at his neck as VI
ciously she said
Chorus:
you useter to bat .3O0-oh, your hitting
was immense.
You useter slam 'em every day against the
right-held fence
But now you're In a bush league for there
amt no guy in sight
Can bat around 300, kid who bats around
all night
The Dumbell tried to play It safe before
she struck him out
I'm make a sacrifice he cried, but ease
up on that clout
George Sisler never saw the day when he
could Lit like that
l only wish that John McGraw could see
you swing a bat"
In vain he tried to score a run in vain he
shed each tear
In vain he tried to reach a mask and breast
protector near.
She tagged him all around the room, no
matter how he'd slide
And raped out doubles on his back as
bitterly she cried
Chorus:
You useter to hit 300, your batting
eye was great.
The pitchers useter jump the league when
you came to he plate.
But now they've got you faded, for there
amt no cove in sight
Can bat around 800, kid. who bats around

Hornsby recently went to bat
eleven consecutive times without
getting a hit.
Ty Cobb once went to hat twenty
four consecutive times without COL
lecting a safe blow.
The OFF days meant but little over
the long route, where the average
alone counted.
But one OFF day might easily cost

UMPIRE'S DECISION
MAY Be REVERSED
Warwick-H. N, Jr., Series
Game Ends in Dispute; Ar
bitrator Doubtless Wrong.

Kids will be kids: and umpires
are not always right. The latter
statement seems to have been
proven conclusively yesterday aft
ernoon in the game between the
Holy Name Jrs. and the warwicks,
two teams which are fighting hard
for the junior title in the District
sandlot championship series.
These two teams went into the
ninth inning of their game yester-
day with the score to s in favor
of the Warwicks. In the first half
of the ninth the Holy Name Jrs.
scored three runs. The warwicks
then went to bat and scored two
runs. tieing the score with only
one out.
At this juncture, Jimmy Green,
who was umpiring, called the game.
supposedly on account of darkness.
and announced that the game had
ended in a tie at Gall. The young
est youngster in the series will tell
you that that decision was absc-
lutely wrong. Having called the
game before the Warwicks were re-
tired in their half of the ninth the
score automatically reverted to the
eighth inning, which would give
the Warwicks the game by a to 6
score.
Whether or not Roddy Thomas.
who is handling the series, will re-
verse the umpire's decision is not
yet known, but If the circumstances
