Grammar School Graduation


If the indications arising from the
commencement of the grammar
school, held Friday are anything to
so by, the Belfast High will have
the largest freshman class in it's his
tory by at least score. next fall.
On Friday afternoon in Memorial
hall. % pupils received diplomas
and when the fall term opens will
enter the high school. There will
be 70 or more come in from the
rural schools and o hers from ad-
joining towns bringing the total
close to the century mark. This
commencement OF the grammar
school a so marks a change in The
school system for when the new
bui' ding is ready. there will be a
junior high instead of a gramma. :.
and both Junior and sen or highs
will lie under one roof.
The program given on Friday
afternoon was most interesting and
entertaining and was called A Pa
geant OF the States. In it the young
students portrayed HE fora. indus
tries and the principle features OF
the various states in the Union, all
in most appropriate costumes. For
instance. the State of Pennsylvania
was represented by coal miners in
overalls. blackened faces and carry
; ing implements of the miner. Ken
lucky with her pioneer scouts and
Maine with her pine trees were also
effectively exploited. The boys and
girls enjoyed their part in the per-
Torrance quite as much as the spec
! tators and it was very instructive
as we'll as enjoyable affair. Diplomas
were awarded 90 of them and the
freshman class of the Belfast High
will be their next step in their edu-
cational life. Zenas ID. Hartshorn
and Miss Grace A. Lord. the efficient
teachers of this school deserved a
good deal of credit for the splen-
did entertainment which they pre-
pared. Saturday morning the class
with the faculty motored to Swan
Lake for a days outing.

a little store, not much larger than
an apartment house kitchen. Over
the door OF the store hung u service
flag with thirty-eight stars. Pat
looked at the flag and then looked
at the store and couldn't figure it

National Net Champion Dis
poses of Richards and
Bill Johnston.

NEW YORK, May 3.-William 7.
Tilden Cd won two Of the single
set matches, and William M. JOINS
ton the other in special lawn
tennis exhibition on the courts OF
Central Park yesterday. Tilden'
the national champion, was in ex-
cellent form. He started by de-
feating Vincent Richards, the ma
tional indoor title holder, ID,
with the set point totals respec-
lively at 33 to 81.
Having warmed up so that the
machinery of his strokes was in
perfect action, Tilden faced Little
Bill" Johnston. The Californian was
obviously cold. His drives were
erratic and Tilden again won at
Cd on games. The point totals
were 35 to %.
Johnston encountered Richards in
the final contest. It produced
many of the best rallies of the day,
frequently compelling the great
crowd of 10000 spectators to break
forth in applause. Johnston had
an uphill fight of it to finish. The
Californian finally won at Cd,
with the points at 81 to So.

their way into the ball park here

ternationals win from the Newark

GAMES
Veteran Yankee Shortstop
Sets Out to Establish
New Mark.

Deacon Everett Scott, veteran
shortstop of the New York Yam
KEGS, today starts out to play 1000
successive big league contests. He
passed the 1000 mark yesterday,
for which he has been presented
with a solid gold medal by the
American League.
Scott not only is a leader In
quantity but in quality. Since 1917
he has led all shortstops in the
American League and for two
years, 1918 and 1919, made only
seventeen errors out of 689 and
699 chances, respectively, for an
average of .976, the highest field
ing average established by q short
stop in the history of the game
over seasons play.
His amazing record since June

Those in charge of the meet have

tically assured, and that he looks for

George Mogridge, injured in

His Fourth Attempt.
COME years ago Frank Wood
- ward a right-hand pitcher,
~ tried his luck with the st.
Louis Cardinals. He didn't have
any, but the Phillies took him
to see if he could find it with
them. He couldn't. He went
back to the bushes.
Then came the Washington
Griffs. Clark Griffith himself,
while killing few hours one day
in New Haven, Conn, home of
Yale College, locks and clocks,
grabbed Woodward. The follow
ing spring, which was last spring,
he sent him right back to New
Haven.
This spring the Chicago White
Sox took Woodward down to
Texas and back to the big time.
But now they have sent him back
to New Haven, his own home
town, too, by the way, where he
knows all the boys and girls who
come and cheer for him as he
wins or punches a street-car con-
ductor.
Woodward has now had four
whacks at the majors. He prob
ably won't get another. But he
can go along and win games and
pennants for New Haven, which
is a strange thing. too, when so
many players from that circuit
are coming up and hanging on in
fast company.

Fred Mitchell showed Genewich
to the Griffs down in Florida
following it up with another ap-
pearance at Savannah and again
at Norfolk.
"That Genevieve had plenty OF
stuff today" a Washington play
er told us after the game al
Savannah. "He looks good"
The major league season opens
and in less than two weeks this
same unknown "Genevieve" hops
right out with two victories over
the world champion New York
Giants.
A year ago Genewich was pitch
ing semi-pro ball around Troy,
N. Y. A scout for the Braves
signed him up for a trial and the
kid went to st. Petersburg. His
apparent future address for many
a day will be Boston, for he looks
like a regular "Giant killer"
On the same team with Gene
witch is another hitherto unknown,
Bill Bagwell, but he is not a
pitcher. He is a, smuggling out
fielder from the University of
Arkansas. He cost. the Braves
nothing.
The Giants paid a fancy price
for Bentley and little or nothing
for Fred Johnson, who performed
for San Antonio in the Texas
League last year. Bentley has
yet to look good, while Johnson
held the Brooklyn Robins hitless
the other day for four and two
thirds innings. There's Fate right
on the New York club itself.
Merely paying out large sums
does not insure the obtaining Of
stars. Tim Mcnamara was a
good college pitcher for Fordham
and was turned over to the Braves
by the Giants merely to fill out a
deal. Now Mcnamara shapes mp
like the coming right-hand hurting
star of the old league. Pete
Donohue, fresh. from a college
team in Texas, won eighteen and
lost nine games for Cincinnati
last year, hanging up an eff
ficiency mark of 3.12.
Last winter Connie Mack told
the palpitating world in strident
tones that he had loosened up
to the extent of $4,000 to land
Sammy Hale from the Pacific
Coast League to play third
base for his AS. He drafted
Harry Riccnda from New Haven
for $4,000. Hale is hurt in the
opening game and now the fans
are ready to Shrek if Riconda
is benched. The New Haven
rookie, costing but a shadow of
what Mack says he gave for
Hale, is fielding and hitting like
a fiend.
Baseball is a great gamble.
IMogridge, unable to win a game
for the Yanks, has been a con-
sistent winner for the weaker
Griffmen over two seasons. Clark
Griffith gave away Bobby Roth
to get Mogridge and Duffy
Lewis. Mogridge was worth
twice as much as both Lewis and
Roth together.
No, cost isn't everything in
baseball; not by a large jugful.
The Bonus Clause.
"ERE and there among the
big .leaguers are those with
bonus clauses. They are
usually pitchers, who receive q
bonus for so many victories.
The folly of such contracts is
being shown in the cases of two
star pitchers-Dutch Ruether. Oh
the Brooklyn Robins, and George
Mogridge, of the Washington
Griffs.

Looking at the st. Louis situa-

that the club did not play fair with
its followers.
When George Sis1er first found
himself doomed to stay out of uni
form, it was kept a deep, dark Sc
cret. Day after day came denials
from the business manager of the
Browns that Sisler would be unable
to play ball for at least year.
Then it was announced that Sis
Ter would join the team on its barn

Of the season. At the same time
the club must have known that
George Sisters vision was seriously
affected and that, instead of one
