 John T. Spickett, interlocutor, came back strong to his former voca- tion as director of the show and kept the ball rolling with his old time "pep" and dignity, during the entire performance.
 Miss Carol Beery, orchestra leader, is deserving of especial praise for ner faultless manner in handling the song numbers on the program

 The end men, Charles Finzel, WiI- liam Stokes and Grant Baldwin, as Tambos; Sigurd Wallstedt, Leonard Ball and Henry Afford as Bones, kept uD a steady line of clever com. edy throughout the numbers.
 Sigurd Wallstedt opened the first number after the opening chorus and made an instant hit with his negro interpretation of the Swedish song. "Baltiska Valsen."
 Fred Lynch followed with tae de lightful negro melody, "Tuc6 Me to Sleep" In the second part of the song a beautiful harmony was given by the minstrel quartet, Lynca, liar land, Nordling and Beach.

The youngsters responded to the applause of the au- dience with several encores and were joined by the minstrel chorus in the second parts.
 William Stokes might have been q true member of the "dusky race for his dialect and gestures in the darky song "Down Yonder." He re- ceived big hand from the audience.

NEW YORK SCHOOL HURLER
FANS - IN is INNINGS.
NEW YORK papers are raving
over the pitching feat of a high
school hurler who struck out 2s
batters in a l5-inning game. Truly,
a remarkable feat for any pitcher,
but II does not compare with the
record of Gladstone Roudabush,
of Eastern High. who made 20
batsmen whifr the air in nine in
nings. The record OF Southpaw
Jones. of the Linworths. who set
down II batters in 10 frames. also
overshadows the performance of
the Gotham hurler.
Jones has received several tempt
ing offers since his long-winded
performance against the st. Teresa
nine. Jack Ryan, the veteran
catcher. who Is to pilot the POGO
moke team. rendered the promis-
ing lefthander a contract. but he
turned II down rather than desert
his Diamond pals in their night for
the S<nior championship. The Lin
worth hurler will not consider any
professional offers until the end OF
this season, as he feels that a bit
more campaigning on the sandlots

Pat" the name the youthful
Finney answers most readily to, was
almost unbeatable in his high school

record then and added other bright
spots to his record a year later when
he hurled for Maryland University's
freshmen team. While pitching for
the Oriole yearlings he was never
charged with a defeat and Curly Bryd
coach at Maryland. was priming him
for Vic Keen's shoes when Finney de-
cided he had had enough schooling
and decided to go to work.
For the last two years Pat has been
toiling and pitching for semi-pro
clubs as a side issue. However. Ryan
offered him such a fat contract that
the kid decided to lay of the toll for
few months and earn his three

Ryan recently turned down a big

make more money by handling one
of the clubs in the shore league and
selling some Of his products TO

be a school for budding major

Frankly. Pat has a great fast
